Introducing SNAPS by the Asset Store
Creating 3D games is quick and easy with Snaps
Art creation is one of the most time-consuming tasks in game development and can take up more than 50% of production resources. Teams of all sizes and experience levels frequently source art, yet it can be challenging to find quality collections of assets that are visually consistent and compatible with your specifications.
Snaps asset packs solve that problem by providing themed collections of assets that will help you streamline your workflow from prototype to production.
From greyboxing to production, fast
Snaps Prototype
Start blocking out your project. Themed collections of ProBuilder-made modular prefabs, built to real-world scale, help you quickly design 3D levels. They’re untextured and have a clear geometry, so they’re light and easy to use. You can add fidelity later either through textures or geometry.
Snaps Art
Save time moving from prototype to production. Snaps Art packs are modular game-ready assets, including environments, props and more. If you used Snaps Prototype assets, you can save more time by replacing them with Snaps Art assets.
Snaps Art HD
Bring your project to life with high-fidelity detail. Use Snaps Art HD assets and get the most out of Unity’s High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) for photorealistic quality with high-resolution textures and extras. If you used Snaps Prototype assets, you can replace the assets easily.

Build levels easily with Snaps in Unity
Modular and compatible
Built to real-world scale, Snaps assets make level building easy and efficient. They are made with ProBuilder, snap together easily with ProGrids, and are customizable with ProBuilderize and various digital content creation tools. All Snaps assets are modular so creators can use them with other Snaps packs and in their own projects.

Game-ready
Snaps assets include physically based rendering (PBR) materials, so you can use them to enrich your prototype assets. With high-fidelity textures and materials, they are customizable to be able to target any platform. Snaps Art packs are for anyone who wants to speed up game production.

Snaps Art HD assets follow the Snaps Prototype modularity guidelines
High-fidelity 3D art
Created by teams of veteran artists, the AAA-quality 3D assets, materials, textures and more in Snaps asset packs leverage Unity’s Scriptable Render Pipeline technology. Creators can gain valuable insight into how high-quality assets are made and learn to customize assets to take their project to the next level.
Resources for Snaps creators
ProBuilder
Design, prototype and play-test levels inside the Unity Editor with ProBuilder. Add Snaps Prototype assets to your environment and modify them with ProBuilder – it’s a powerful combination for fast prototyping.
ProGrid
Snap your assets into a 3D visual and functional grid. Snaps Prototype assets follow ProGrids placement and rotation guides, so users can quickly and precisely design levels.
Prefabs
Unity 2018.3 introduced Prefab workflow improvements, including nested Prefabs, Prefab Variants and Prefab Mode.

Swap Tool
Snaps Asset Swap Tool provides a quick, easy method for switching all prefabs in a scene instantly.
Snaps are 3D models inside prefab objects. Snaps assets are designed to respect a real-world scale grid. The grid measurements starts at 1 m (equal to a Unity grid unit) and are halved (i.e., 0.5, 0.25, 0.125 and so on) for smaller objects and multiplied (i.e., 2, 3, 4 and so on) for bigger objects. The rotation for the objects is optimal in increments of 11.25 degrees (i.e., 11.25, 22.5, 33.75, 45, 56.25 and so on).
Snaps assets are designed to “snap” together using ProGrids.
ProBuilder extends the functionality of Snaps Prototype and Snaps Art* assets by enabling users to change the appearance or add fidelity to assets within the Unity Editor using its Probuilderize option.
ProGrids and ProBuilder are available for download in the Package Manager.
*Note: Significant changes to geometry will require re-adjusting the UV map.
You can find all the available packs on the Asset Store. We’re growing the ultimate prototyping and creation library and we’ll be adding different genres to the Snaps categories. Follow Unity on social media and subscribe to the Asset Store to be notified about new Snaps asset packs.
You can understand the main differences in terms of the following elements:
- Geometry: Snaps Prototype assets use low-poly light 3D models, designed for easy prototyping; the models are made in ProBuilder and respect the Snaps modularity standard. Snaps Art assets have approximately 3 times the definition of the prototyping assets; they can be edited with ProBuilder, but the UV mapping may need adjusting. Snaps Art HD assets have high-definition geometry suitable for High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) projects.
- Textures and materials: All Snaps assets use standard Unity materials. Snaps Prototype assets include basic colored materials with the UV-map ready if you wanted to add texture to them. Snaps Art assets use 2048 x 2048 textures. Snaps Art HD assets use 4096 x 4096 textures. Both Snaps Art and Snaps Art HD use PBR materials, sometimes with Albedo, normal map, mask map, or subsurface mask.
- Shaders: Snaps Art and Snaps Art HD use built-in Unity shaders. Assets that required custom shaders used ShaderGraph, so you can modify them easily.
- Scene: All Snaps packs come with a scene so you can readily visualize the look you can achieve. The Snaps Art or Snaps Art HD scenes may include a lighting setup as an example of how you can use the assets.
- Additional bonus content: All Snaps pack content is described on the product page. Any information about additional content, such as animations or music tracks, is included here. Bonus content varies from pack to pack.
For example, Snaps Art HD | Buried Memories: Serekh includes a high-fidelity character model with easy-to-customize body parts, armor and a weapon, and more than 100 animations.
Snaps packs are ideal for anyone interested in creating prototypes in less time. By observing the workflows and iteration processes of many game studios, we realized that we can provide an efficient and streamlined solution for prototyping games. Snaps assets work with projects of all sizes and can be customized to meet a variety of needs. Additionally, the assets can be used as starting assets or final assets in projects.
Snaps assets are also great for anyone wanting to learn about how games are made and what goes into the creation of AAA assets. Snaps Prototype assets can help you kick off your dream project and learn the ropes using ProBuilder.
Snaps Art and Snaps Art HD assets are made by our team of artists with experience making AAA games, so you can learn best practices from industry veterans.
We plan to standardize the process for publishers interested in creating Snaps asset packs. If you want to be notified about potential opportunities, you can reach us via the Publisher portal.
We want to help you bring your projects to life and make it as easy as possible for you to find the right assets. If a Snaps asset doesn’t work for your project, let us know. We’ll either help you to get the asset to work or refund your money (within 30 days of purchase).
We aim to provide detailed descriptions, videos, and images for all assets so you know what you’re getting. Snaps assets are no risk. We’ve got your back.
Submit refund requests through the Customer Service Form. Requests will be processed in 3–5 days.
All Snaps asset packs use standard Unity materials and are compatible with Unity 2018.4. (Earlier versions of Unity will not support the required Nested Prefabs functionality.).
- Snaps Prototype asset packs require ProBuilder 4.0.5 or later and ProGrids 3.0.3 or later. They are compatible with Unity’s default renderer and the Lightweight Render Pipeline (LWRP).
- Snaps Art assets packs can be compatible with LWRP and HDRP.
- Due to changes in HDRP, Snaps Art HD asset packs are currently not supported in 2019.1. We will be updating it in the coming months to add 2019.x compatibility.
The Snaps ecosystem includes all asset packs formerly labeled Asset Store Originals and Unity Icon Collective. Snaps Prototype asset packs typically have a corresponding Snaps Art or Snaps Art HD asset pack.
