MeshSync DCC Plugins
MeshSync DCC Plugins is package that contains plugin binaries of DCC tools for using MeshSync, which is another package for synchronizing meshes/models editing in DCC tools into Unity in real time. This allows devs to immediately see how things will look in-game while modelling.

Caveats
- Negative Scale: partially supported on some DCC Tools.
If all XYZ values have negative values, the mesh will sync properly, however if only one axis has a negative value, Unity will treat the mesh as though every axis has a negative value. Certain DCC tools may have Bake Transform option which can sync the mesh in this case, but it will lose any deformer information.
