Merging Gender-Specific Custom Assets into a Single Asset

Unity
1

Hi there,

I’ve noticed a difference between assets created with the “Asset Designer” and custom uploaded assets:

  1. Assets from the “Asset Designer”:
  • Automatically categorized as “Neutral” gender
  • Can be used for both masculine and feminine avatars
  • Automatically adjust size and shape based on avatar gender
  1. Custom uploaded assets:
  • Require separate assets for each gender, each one creating with the corresponding masculine or feminine armatures
  • Result in two entries in the Asset Manager for the same asset

My question: Is it possible to merge two gender-specific custom assets into a single asset that works for both genders, similar to those created with the “Asset Designer”?

I understand this might involve including two different armatures and meshes within the same asset, but I think this approach would be benefitial to streamline asset management.

Thank you for your help!

Hi @Martin

Thank you for the feedback, I’ve forwarded it to our team. Currently merging is not possible and you need to create a male/female version for custom outfits.

Hi @Markus_RPM

I understand. Just out of curiosity, how is the gender merge handled in the case of assets created with Asset Designer?
