Better Import for Unity

Better Import

⚠️ Early version, not for production use ⚠️

This package makes import to Unity easier and more efficient

Built-in Postprocessors

Better Import comes with these postprocessors now:

• Animations: Automatically creates animator controllers for models that have animations
• Materials: Automatically generates Metallic-Smoothness and Albedo-Alpha maps for imported materials

Built-in Hints

Better Import comes with these built-in hints:

• GameObject (hints in objects' names)

  • -prefab: Replaces the object with a prefab
  • -inactive: Deactivates the object
  • -static: Sets the object to static
  • -lightprobe: Replaces the object with a light probe
  • -reflectionprobe: Replaces the object with a reflection probe
  • -reverbzone: Replace the object with a reverb zone
  • -trigger: Replaces the object with a trigger
  • -volume: Replaces the object with an SRP postprocessing volume
  • -boxcollider: Adds a box collider to the object
  • -nocollider: Disables the mesh collider
  • -norender: Disables the mesh renderer
  • -rigidbody: Adds a rigidbody to the object
  • -bakedlight: Sets the light mode to baked
  • -mixedlight: Sets the light mode to mixed

• Model (hints in models' filenames)

  • -collider: Generates mesh colliders for the model

• Animation (hints in actions' names)

  • -loop: Sets the animation to loop

• Material (hints in materials' names)

  • -rough: Sets the material Smoothness to 0
  • -smooth: Sets the material Smoothness to 1

Custom Hints

You can create your own hints by subclassing GameObjectHint, ModelHint, AnimationHint and MaterialHint

Example:

using UnityEngine;
using FirstPersonController;

public class PlayerStateVolumeHint : BetterImport.GameObjectHint
{
    public override string Text => "-playerstatevolume";
    public override string ContainerName { get; } = "Player State Volumes";

    // On create is called when the object is created for the first time
    public override void OnCreateDerivedObject(GameObject sourceObject, GameObject derivedObject)
    {
        var collider = derivedObject.AddComponent<BoxCollider>();
        collider.isTrigger = true;
        derivedObject.AddComponent<PlayerStateVolume>();
    }

    // On update is called when the object has changed on import
    public override void OnUpdateDerivedObject(GameObject sourceObject, GameObject derivedObject)
    {
        var bounds = sourceObject.GetComponent<MeshFilter>().sharedMesh.bounds;
        var collider = derivedObject.GetComponent<BoxCollider>();
        collider.size = bounds.size;
    }
}
