How do I reuse assets between projects?
As you build your game, Unity stores a lot of metadata about your assets (import settings, links to other assets, etc.). If you want to take your assets into a different project, there is a specific way to do that. Here's how to easily move assets between projects and still preserve all this info.
- In the Project View, select all the asset files you want to export.
- Choose from the menubar.
- Name and save the package anywhere you like.
- Open the project you want to bring the assets into.
- Choose from the menubar.
- Select your package file saved in step 3.
Hints
- When exporting a package Unity can export all dependencies as well. So for example if you select a Scene and export a package with all dependencies, then all models, textures and other assets that appear in the scene will be exported as well. This can be a quick way of exporting a bunch of assets without manually locating them all.
- If you store your Exported Package in the Standard Packages folder next to your Unity application, they will appear in the Create New Project dialog.
