This repository contains two custom Unity Editor tools to help you generate previews of your assets / game:
-
Camera Preview Generator
Generates a PNG image of a selected prefab or GameObject using a custom camera. It allows you to configure the camera’s field of view, distance, rotation, resolution, background color, and layer-based rendering options. -
Icon Preview Generator
Generates a PNG preview (icon) for a selected prefab or GameObject. You can choose to use the asset’s folder path for saving the icon automatically or manually specify a save path.
-
Customizable Camera Settings:
Adjust the field of view, distance (or auto-calculate it), and rotation of the camera to capture the perfect angle. -
Resolution Options:
Set a fixed resolution or use proportional dimensions for the output image. -
Background and Layer Control:
Define the background color and clear flags, and optionally render only specific layers. -

Generate quick previews of assets directly from the Unity Editor.
