The new Asset Import Pipeline v2, which we introduced last year, is now the new default and comes with support for serialized files larger than 2 GB and a status bar. We added several importer improvements so custom properties for objects originating from SketchUp can now be imported along with new axis conversion settings, letting you fix axis import issues without having to reopen meshes in a digital content creation (DCC) program. With Unity 2020.1 you can now visualize the scene context or parent Prefab while editing your Prefab asset.

New improvements to the toolsets make you more productive, provide more ways to customize your workflows to your specific needs, and reduce interruptions so you can stay in the flow. For more information on how we label our packages, see the user manual.

However, for projects in production or live, we always recommend that you use the latest LTS version and packages that have been verified. Labeled as “Preview,” these features are intended for developers to try out for their use case and provide feedback that may still impact the feature set. We often share features in their early stages. With more features now available as packages and in different stages of development, it’s challenging to identify the right tools to use for your project – what to use just for testing and what to use for actual productions about to ship. One of the key factors in prioritizing features and determining our roadmap is the feedback from our community.Īccording to recent feedback, our community is clearly concerned about Unity’s becoming more modular. If your project is beyond the prototyping phase and you’re about to lock in your production on a specific version of Unity for maximum stability, we recommend you use the latest Long-Term Support (LTS) version of Unity, Unity 2019 LTS.īefore we dig into what’s new, we want to thank you for all the feedback you provide – from ongoing customer meetings to forum discussions and beta testing. In this blog post, we will highlight some of the new improvements, whether you plan to take advantage of them now or wait until Unity 2020 LTS next year. You can read more about it in this blog post.įor Unity 2020.1 our guiding principle has been to make Unity an even more reliable and highly performant platform, to help you realize your creative and business goals. Unity 2020.1 includes a wide range of features and improvements that make Unity workflows even more intuitive and make you more productive, while Unity 2019 LTS remains the recommended version for projects in production.Īlso, if you hadn’t heard our latest news, Unity has acquired the Bolt visual scripting asset from Developer Ludiq, and Bolt is now included in all Unity plans at no additional cost. Our first TECH stream release of the year is available as of today.
