The Asset Manager for Blender allows you to create cloud assets directly from Blender.
This integration is available through the [Asset Manager for Blender](https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/unity-cloud-asset-manager-for-blender) open-source repository, so that you can get inspired by it - or build on top of it - to create your own custom Asset Manager integration flows with the [Unity Cloud Python SDK](/asset-manager/python-sdk.md), be it for Blender or any other software.
