Yahaha Assets Importer

Yahaha Assets Importer is a powerful plug-in that seamlessly imports prefabs and scenes from Unity into YAHAHA and binds them to your YAHAHA account. This tool enables you to import prefabs comprising meshes, textures (up to 512x512 pixels), and PBD Shader based on the Unity Universal Render Pipeline (URP) pipeline. Moreover, prefabs with humanoid and legacy animations can be imported as well, catering to your every need.
