Quick workflow fit
Carry supported scene layout between Unity and your DCC tools
Move selected scene objects into Unity for assembly or send Unity objects back to a connected DCC for refinement without recreating transforms and hierarchy manually.
Best for: Level designers, technical artists and small teams iterating between Unity, Blender, Maya or other supported SyncTools connectors.
What transfers / what you get: Supported static meshes, basic PBR materials, lights, cameras, transform hierarchy and baked keyframe animation.
Before you buy: Unity and the source DCC connector are required. This is a file/cache-based copy/paste workflow—not continuous live sync. Shaders, scripts, physics and engine-specific components may require manual rebuilding.
