Hi unity community,
I am wonder if it is possible to create asset in illustrator cs 6 and import to unity?
The thing is, Unity3D can import bitmaps such as PNG, etc. that you then place on a flat game object. You can create the bitmap in any program you like, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc. But if you’d like to keep it as vectors and bezier curves, you can’t. What you can do, though, is to import Illustrator into a 3D rendering program such as Blender, LightWave or 3DS Max and that will reduce your vector graphic into a lot of small surfaces. A curve will then become a succession of straight lines. How many depends on your setting when importing to the 3D program. But if you want a fine definition of the curve, that will create a lot of polygons!
There is a new asset available in the store. It allows you to create entire scene in illustrator and import the file to unity.
Only if Illustrator allows you to save as a PSD or JPEG or PNG, or TIFF.
