Managing large collections of 3D assets across projects in an environment where industry standards and project requirements rapidly change can create serious challenges for asset managers responsible for keeping content authoritative and discoverable. Unity Asset Manager makes it easy to manage and discover assets in your Organization with tools for defining custom metadata fields.
