Importing a product from Pixyz to Unity Forma
The Pixyz for Unity plugin lets you import various file formats that you save in Pixyz to the Unity Editor.
If you use the Unity Forma Sample Project or Template Project to create your configurator, the Pixyz for Unity plugin is installed automatically when you import the project.
If you want to import a product from Pixyz into a different project, you must add the plugin to the project manually from the Package Manager.
When installed, a Pixyz menu appears on the menu bar of the Editor. The menu lets you connect to the Pixyz License Manager to add your Pixyz license.
