Import .unitypackage and other assets designed for Unity Engine as a Godot Addon

Unidot Importer

Unidot Importer is a Unity compatibility layer and .unitypackage importer for Godot 4.x.

Made for Godot Engine 4

Please use the any stable Godot 4.0, 4.1, or later ( master branch of https://github.com/godotengine/godot ) with FBX2glTF configured in Editor Settings to run this addon.

Features

• Translates Unity filetypes (such as .unity or .mat) to Godot native scene or resource types.
• Supports both binary and text YAML encoding
• Implementation of an asset database for unity assets by GUID
• .unitypackage importer and translation shim.
• preliminary animation and animation tree porting.
• We rely on automatic FBX to glTF translation during .unitypackage import using FBX2glTF. please download the FBX2glTF exe and configure FBX Import in Godot Editor Settings before using Unidot.

Note that scripts and shaders will need to be ported by hand. However, it will be possible to map from the unity scripts/shaders to Godot equivalents after porting.

Many import settings in Unity are not implemented in Godot Engine, such as recomputing tangents or specific texture compression settings.

Canvas / UI is not implemented.

Unsupported

• Shader porting: a system will be added to create mappings of equivalent Godot Engine shaders, but porting must be done by hand.
• C# Script porting

Installation notes:

1. This project should be imported at addons/unidot in the project, often as a git submodule.

2. Most unity assets use .fbx files. To support FBX requires additional setup before import:

To install FBX support, one must download FBX2glTF from https://github.com/godotengine/FBX2glTF/releases and set it in the FBX2glTF.exe path in the Import category of Editor Settings (not Project Settings)

3. To add TIFF / .tif support, install ImageMagick and copy convert.exe into this addon directory.

4. Finally, enable the Unidot Importer plugin in Project Settings -> Plugins tab -> Unidot

5. Access the importer through Project -> Tools -> Import Unity Package...

A final note:

This tool is designed to assist with importing or translating source assets made for Unity Engine. It assumes text serialization (such as within a .unitypackage archive) and typical asset conventions (for example, an assumption that most files contain only one asset).

Unidot solely translates existing usable source assets into equivalent Godot source assets. There are no plans to add functionality for decompiling asset bundles or ripping unity content. That is not the goal of this project.
