Preview Customizer + Icon Generator

Wahoo! Thank you so much @StylishCoding ! It means a lot to me

Good call on the file exception, I'll run unity as an admin, that might help

 

Can the custom thumbnails be transferred to other users of this asset, like in a team? The folder and file structure of the team's projects will be nearly identical.

 

The config is saved in scriptableobject file and use asset GUID, so you copy the scriptableobject file to another project, the asset with same GUID (meta file) will use the same config.

 

Thanks for the information. I can confirm that this works.

 

Is there a way to increase the intensity of ambient light? The object on the icon is too dark. I tried to change the angle and intensity of the light source.

 

Current UI not allow to change the intensity of ambient light and the intensity of the light source is limited to 0 - 2, but you can select ThumbnailData.asset and find the asset data and change any value in light scale. Then reimport the asset to rebuild the thumbnail cache.

 

Thanks, it works. But there was a new problem: I have many items, and the intensity can be changed only one by one Any ideas?

P.S. Can you share the open source of dll so that I change the intensity limits for my needs?

 

I will update a new version that remove the limits.

 

Updated to 1.2.3

• Remove upper limit of light source intensity.

 

Hi

With this tool can I create thumbnails of assets within a folder and store the png or jpg somewhere so I can use them in game? I have around 600 prefabs I'd like to create game icons for.

Thanks

 

yes, you can create icons from selected prefabs.

here is a sample generated from Multistory Dungeons asset:

 

If I want to change the light intensity of a number of prefabs can I select them and make the change to all of them at once, or do I have to edit each one individually?

 

All changes is applied to all selected prefabs in customize window.

 

Hi, like the idea to customize the ambient light of the previews. It's just not working:
NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

What you have done before the error? And what version of Unity you are using?

 

Ver.: 2018.2
Steps to reproduce: I actually downloaded, installed and just tried it on all the Multistory Dungeon prefabs in one go. Maybe that was too much?

 

I think it is because the resource is not enough to handle all prefabs in one go

 

Quick question:

Does this require that it creates a custom thumbnail image which is saved somewhere in the Assets folder?

For example:

When you "Change View Angle" of a model, will it simply remember the view angle and render the preview from that angle?

Or does it create a thumbnail image using the view angle, and then show the image instead of the default render?

___

I am concerned because I do not want it to create a bunch of Thumbnail image files inside my project folders or somewhere else, because I don't want to add thumbnails to source control for everyone working on my project.

 

No custom thumbnail image.

 

Just to confirm what you mean, do you mean :
1. "No, it must always create a custom thumbnail image"
or did you mean
2. "There is not a custom thumbnail image needed if you just do rotations"

aka does this Always require a custom thumbnail image be created?

 

2. "There is not a custom thumbnail image needed if you just do rotations"

 

Very useful. Thanks!
Works great for me, but does not seem to work for anyone else on my team. We added it to our repository, and no one can see the changes I made to the thumbnails, and they also can not modify the thumbnails locally. We are using 2019.1.1f1.

 

You need to install the addon to view the custom thumbnail.

 

Just bought it. Seems to work okay in unity version 2018.1 other than one error.
When I select about 10 prefabs at the same time, select 'customize thumbnail', rotate angle, and press apply nothing happens.The icons are not updated in the project view. If I cancel and select only a few of them again and select customize thumbnail' again I the icons in the thumbnail are new, so if I press apply they will update in the project view as well.

Edit. Tried it again I find out that some of the icons where not updated after I selected 'customize thumbnail' for the 2nd time.

 

Great plugin. However, I'm working with isometric sprites assembled together in-game, and I need to have complete control of the camera, and dragging isn't precise enough.

Could we get options to set the camera to isometric and also input camera angle and such?

 

Is this working in 2018.4 ?

 

It has been working fine for me, in different projects that use 2018.4.3 and 2018.4.11 and 2019.2.11

 

Getting error on hit apply
Prefab asset is not persistent

Is there any way to save settings and apply for other assets later?

 

Does not work and no source code to fix.
Please provide source, fix or refund.

Do not recommend to buy in current state.

 

I see its deprecated, I guess unity changes too much in 2019.3

I would love to see it come back someday for the latest unity as its a nice tool

 

So sad to hear about depreciation, I love this tool!

 

Any plans on updating this? We have been using it for a while and upgraded Unity to the point where this no longer works. Unsure which version it was last working with but we definitely miss it.
