How to upload prefabs and scenes from Unity to STYLY

This article introduces how to use “Prefabs” and “Scenes” created in Unity on STYLY.

On STYLY, you can upload prefabs and scenes created using 3D models, Particle System (Shuriken), Light, UI elements, Shaders (such as those created with Amplified Shader), PlayMaker, and Interaction SDK.

You can use assets in STYLY that have been given animations or interactive functions in Unity, as well as assets with colored lights.
If you want to improve the quality of your scenes or explore new ways of expression, give it a try.

Preparing to Upload to STYLY

To upload from Unity to STYLY, import the STYLY Plugin for Unity into Unity.

After importing, the [STYLY] menu should be added, and the [STYLY_Plugin] folder should be created in the Assets folder.

How to Connect Your STYLY Account with STYLY_Plugin

You need to obtain the API key for your STYLY account.
Here’s how to obtain the API key.

Log in to STYLY Studio and click on your account icon.

 

When the popup appears, click “Setting.”

In the Account tab, find the API key and click the copy button to the right.

 

In your Unity project, go to the [STYLY] menu and click [Asset Uploader Settings].

Enter your account email in the Email field.
Paste the copied API key into the API Key field.
This completes the connection between your STYLY account and the STYLY Plugin.

Cache Settings

Regarding the message “Cache Server is strongly recommended. Change the setting at Edit-Preferences-CacheServer.”

 

Click Edit > Preferences… to open the Preferences screen.

Check if the New Projects default asset pipeline under Cache Server (global) is set to Version 2.
If it is Version 2, no changes are needed.

If it is set to Version 1, change it to Version 2.

Uploading to STYLY from Unity

Once the plugin is ready, you can upload to STYLY using the following steps.

How to Check the File Size for Upload

Here’s how to check the file size of a prefab or scene.
Uploading, especially for large files, can take several minutes or longer, so be sure to check the file size before uploading to STYLY.

To check the file size, right-click the prefab you want to check and click [STYLY] > [Check File Size].

Upload File Size Limits

When uploading prefabs or scenes from Unity to STYLY, there are file size limits.

• Recommended file size for prefabs: under 20MB
• Recommended file size for scenes: under 100MB
• Maximum upload limit using *AzCopy from Unity: 512MB
• Maximum upload limit without AzCopy from Unity: 256MB
• Maximum upload limit using STYLY Studio’s model upload feature: 100MB

Although the maximum file size is 512MB (or 256MB), it is recommended to stay within the recommended size limits to avoid long upload times.

*You can increase the upload limit from 256MB to 512MB and speed up the upload process by opening [STYLY] > [Asset Uploader Settings] and checking the Enable AzCopy option.
AzCopy is enabled by default on Windows, but not on Mac. If you have large files, enabling AzCopy on Mac can be useful.

How to Upload a Prefab from Unity to STYLY

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

Right-click the prefab you want to upload.
Click [STYLY] > [Upload prefab or scene to STYLY].
The upload process will begin.

Once the upload is successful, a popup message [Upload succeeded.] will appear. Click the [Close] button.
If an upload error occurs, please provide detailed information (such as the steps performed and screenshots) in the support forum below.

Uploading Multiple Prefabs

You can upload multiple prefabs at the same time.
In the Project window, select multiple prefabs you want to upload, then right-click.
The procedure is the same as the previous section: select “STYLY” → “Upload prefab or scene to STYLY.”

This allows you to upload multiple prefabs at once.

How to Upload a Scene from Unity to STYLY

The method for uploading a scene from Unity is the same as uploading a prefab. Right-click the scene file and select “Upload prefab or scene to STYLY.”

Restrictions

  • TargetTexture is set to a RenderTexture.
  • Camera Target Eye is set to None (Main Display).
• Scripts will not be applied.
  • Other dynamic content may not function properly.
• Scenes will be displayed in STYLY Studio, but you cannot move, rotate, or scale them.
  • Adjust the scene by changing Your Position.
• If the file size is too large, it may not upload successfully.
• The scene asset thumbnail will be an image from the camera tagged as MainCamera if available.
• If no MainCamera is present, a DUMMY display will appear.

Using Uploaded Prefabs and Scenes in STYLY

Here’s how to check your uploaded prefabs and scenes.

Open STYLY Studio and navigate to the scene selection screen.
