- [Instructor] There are two sections you need to be
aware of when looking for packages and assets,
the Asset Store and the Package Manager.
So let's explore both.
So the Package Manager is the first place
that I always go to to see if there's anything
that I can use inside of my project.
And you can access the Package Manager by doing:
Window, Package Manager.
And this is where you're going to see all the items,
or packages, that you can install inside of Unity
that are part of the main program.
If you are looking for something specific,
so for example later on we're going to install ProBuilder.
If we're looking for ProBuilder,
it's right here, so you click on ProBuilder
and then you install.
If you're looking for something that is in preview
and that is not yet part of the main program
you can get those by clicking on Advanced,
and then also Show preview packages.
And then click Yes.
And now it's going to show you also the preview packages.
So these are things that are available,
but are still being tested and making sure that are working.
So, for example, if you want to export FBX files
from Unity, you can use the FBX Exporter.
But again, this is in preview,
so tread carefully.
One you have installed all the things you need in here
and still looking for assets, or specific functions
you'd like to add to your project,
the next step is the Asset Store.
So let's close this.
And at the top of your scene here
you have Scene, Game and then the Asset Store.
So if you click on Asset Store
you can search for a lot of stuff.
So if it's not part of Package Manager
the next thing you need is probably in the Asset Store.
So, for example if I'm looking for specific characters
you can search for characters
and you're going to have whole lot to choose from.
So you can filter by 3D, 2D.
You can also filter by pricing.
So, if you're looking for free assets you can also do this.
And if you're a plus or a pro member
you can filter by that as well.
And now you can install these packages inside of Unity.
And you're going to have access to it inside of your project.
So, for example if you wanted to have the gorilla character,
you can click on it, and then download,
and then it's going to tell you import.
And then you click on import and you're going to have a menu
that's going to show you the assets that you're importing.
So this is something that we're going to do
down the road in this course.
So, we're going to import standard assets later on
and we're also going to use a couple of packages
from the Package Manager.
So, whenever you're looking for something
look into Package Manager first
and then look into the Asset Store and you're going to find
most likely everything you need to create your next project.
