How to upload prefabs and scenes from Unity to STYLY

In this article, I will introduce how to use “prefabs” and “scenes” created in Unity on STYLY.

STYLY allows you to upload prefabricated scenes created using 3DModel, Particle System (Shuriken), Light, UI elements, Shader (such as those using Amplifed Shader), PlayMaker, Interaction SDK, etc.

You can use assets with animation and interactive functions on Unity, colored Light assets, etc. in STYLY.
If you want to improve the quality of the scene or pursue your own new expression method, please try it.

Requirements

STYLY is compatible with “Unity 2019.3.6f1”.
In addition, make sure that the following modules are installed.

• Windows Build Support (If you are using Windows, it will be installed by default.）
• Mac Build Support (If you are using a Mac, it will be installed by default.)
• Android Build Support
• WebGL Build Support
• iOS Build Support

If this module is not installed, please refer to the following article.

 

Types of assets that can be uploaded

The STYLY Plugin for Unity allows you to upload the following types of assets to STYLY:

• 3DModel（Animated with Mecanim is also possible）
• Particle System（Shuriken）
• Light
• UI element
• Shader（Those using Amplified Shader, etc.）
• Assets using PlayMaker and Interaction SDK

The upload process is the same for these different types of assets.
Simply prefab the assets you want to use and upload them to STYLY.

※Note:
If the action you added in PlayMaker does not work well on STYLY, try removing the cache on the browser once.
Also, STYLY does not support scripts written in C #.

How to check the file size to be uploaded

Here’s how to check the file size of a prefabricated scene.
Uploading can take a few minutes or more, especially if it’s large, so check the file size of your prefabricated scene before uploading to STYLY.

To check the file size, right-click the prefab you want to check and click the [STYLY]> [Check File Size] button.
We recommend a prefab of 20MB or less to upload.

 

How to upload a prefab from Unity to STYLY

After checking the file size, upload the prefab created in Unity to STYLY.

Right-click on the prefab you want to upload.
Click STYLY> Upload prefab or scene to STYLY.
The upload process will be executed.

If the upload process is successful, the pop-up message [Upload succeeded.] Will be displayed. Click the [Close] button.
If an upload error is displayed, please contact us below for the detailed situation (operation procedure and screen capture) where the error occurred.

You can also upload multiple prefabs at the same time.
