PSA: Don't add 8mil triangles conchs to your scenes guys.

Beta is free. Full version will be paid. Save you the time

I know it's all the rage to hate on AI, but the idea of an integrated tool that can get right ot the heart of null reference exceptions alone is exciting as fook, or who knows how many other tedious scene adjustments or mass renamings or tag adjustments... the sheer volume of mundane, tedious things this could streamline is pretty exciting and the integration of the generator tools is actually amazing. Way more impressed with this than I thought I would be.

Seems they also created an AI generated narrator to narrate all their videos as well.

[jacekszydlowski]

Commenting every single line of code was what people needed the most obviously.

[ELECRO]

I wasn't expecting this to as good as it looks here. There should definitely be a free tier for the full version, even if limited.

[DireSwift]

People love to hate on the AI tools but for fast iteration prototyping I am all for it.

[lyh]

Only useful if it run with local LLM like ollama

[cellegen]

Remember, AI companies usually collect data from you, one way or another. This is no exception here.
And I don't just talk about hardware specifics or analytics of this AI agent's usage. No.

Your own project data.

[BLUET]

its like the ai is there with you in the engine developing with you as a partner

[hekitkofiicup]

Will there be a way to opt out of this?
(I'm sorry, I don't know how to say this without sounding like a troll; this is a genuine question)

Amazing video! I know this version is still In beta but I can’t resist, I’m gonna use it for my main project

[tonymax]

Surprisingly this is kind of usefull for every day unity workers like me. When free chat bots appeared, I've realized that I waste time for googling a lot less than without AI. The one problem for the major part of community is that it isn't free, and projects / teams that can afford this feature are already have organized project, so I guess they would have less need in that. As oppose when u start new project every month (like hipper casual devs) you probably can find this AI assistant very very useful. Also I think this is just the best thing for level designers. Good job unity, even if it is paid.

And I say that being one of the hardest unity hater - lover (because I work on it every day)

[jakeblakeley]

The genAI code tools built directly in, and designed for Unity is great. Asset generation feels like a weird move; open source models exist and game devs generally have pretty capable machines to run them for free. Unless y'all can get very good and specific base models for things like foliage, terrain textures, etc then I can't see it getting much adoption.

[JINIRPA]

the good thing is its can generate audio and animation and material(and yes its not generated tis just connected to the web)
but for scripting cursor ide Trae ide windsurf can do this

[danieldilly]

Cool but how about letting us use the built-in assistant with our own local models like those we have installed with Ollama?

[iangraham]

This looks amazing! Shame it won't be free to use once out of beta..

[gameclips]

i just want a free version that can do those repetitive tasks like mass replacing/renaming objects

[DocuFlow]

Excellent intro. More like these please, especially introductions that show how to create everything from scratch. Thanks!

[strategystuff]

pretty hype tbh, but it say its only worth it if it can solve complex issues.
