You can import the following formats into Unity Forma:

Unity Prefab – A reusable, fully prepared asset from a previous Unity project.
FBX – FBX files from 3D modeling applications like Blender and Autodesk Maya and 3ds Max, or exported from other software products.
Structured data – Unity Forma can be extended to automatically import structured datasets, including geometry, materials, and variant definitions. It ships with a CSV importer, which can be customized to automate the import process and condense it in a matter of seconds.

Because Unity Forma runs on top of the Unity Industrial Collection, which includes Pixyz Plugin, Unity Forma also supports all of the 35+ formats that Pixyz supports. Learn more about the import process in this blog post.

Question 12

Can I bring standardized data sets into Unity Forma?

Accepted Answer

Unity Forma customers with well-organized datasets can implement a completely automated import process that brings in all product data – geometry, materials, and variant definitions – instantly. Unity Forma’s CSV importer provides the foundation to create an adapter for standardized data sets that need to be imported. To get started with adapters, we recommend working with Unity’s Professional Services team so that you can exactly meet the needs of your standardized data format. Creating and managing your own adapter is also an option.
