Folks will tell you to keep a mirror structure outside of assets folder, which is the exact opposite.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DftZ2VgjLtE/UpB0sZM4rHI/AAAAAAAABsE/cU72rSdxjTA/s1600/33538-do-not-want-XqgM.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="253" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DftZ2VgjLtE/UpB0sZM4rHI/AAAAAAAABsE/cU72rSdxjTA/s320/33538-do-not-want-XqgM.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>So here's the trick: Unity doesn't import files and folders that are hidden or have the name starting with a dot. Naming files with a starting dot is better in my opinion. Git for example doesn't store the hidden attribute, and other VCSes probably don't as well.<br /><br />You can do something like this:<br /><br /><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">.monkey.max &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;- source file, not imported</span><br /><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">monkey.fbx &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;- imported normally</span><br /><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">.monkey_diffuse.psd &lt;- source file, not imported</span><br /><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">monkey_diffuse.png &nbsp;&lt;- imported normally</span><br /><br />or<br /><br /><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">monkey.fbx &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;- imported normally</span><br /><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">monkey_diffuse.png &lt;- imported normally</span><br /><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">.source &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&lt;- entire folder not imported</span><br /><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">.source/monkey.max</span><br /><span style="color: #999999; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">.source/monkey_diffuse.psd</span><br /><br />The second structure can be better with many files. Windows explorer won't let you name a directory this way though (THANK YOU MICROSOFT!).<br />Create or rename it and write ".source." (with final dot added), it will name it ".source" stripping the final dot. Tested on Windows 7, don't ask me why it's like this.<br /><div><br />Hopefully it will save you some headaches.</div>Maciej Kacper Jagiełłohttps://plus.google.com/104341140492573575799noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8500089255271808841.post-28637931874932736402013-11-07T21:11:00.001+01:002013-11-08T20:34:19.994+01:00I've seen people reverse engineer the transform editor or doing their own thing.<br />In Unity 4 you can render the original editor inside yours as long as you have the original editors type.<br />Here's an example for a transform editor wrapper, but you can wrap anything you want, like a MeshRenderer or a TextureImporter (haven't tried yet).<br />You may want to wrap other Editor methods besides OnInspectorGUI as well.<br /><br /><script src="https://gist.github.com/cician/7360936.js"></script>Maciej Kacper Jagiełłohttps://plus.google.com/104341140492573575799noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8500089255271808841.post-24015412690581373762012-02-16T23:04:00.001+01:002012-02-16T23:10:42.657+01:00Just playing around with <a href="https://github.com/notlion/streetview-stereographic">this thing</a> I found.
