Preview Field

When selecting a prefab, get a complete list of available prefabs with an interactive preview. Perfect for anyone looking for a more artist-friendly workflow.

Preview Field is a Unity3D editor extension, to allow for Prefab previews when selecting prefabs, models etc. When creating a public object (Prefab) field in a MonoBehaviour or ScriptableObject, by adding the [PreviewField] attribute (available in the CollisionBear.PreviewObjectPicker namespace) the property will look slightly different. To the far right is a new Prefab picker button, opening the preview object selector.

Getting started

First you need to get your hands on a copy of the editor. We support a few options.

It can be downloaded from the following sources.

Example

Decorate a public property with the attribute.

class TestClass: ScriptableObject {
	[PreviewField]
	public GameObject SomeTestPrefab;
}

	[CollisionBear.PreviewObjectPicker.PreviewField]
	public GameObject SomeTestPrefab;
}

This also works for any Component based scripts.

using using CollisionBear.PreviewObjectPicker;

public class TestClass: ScriptableObject {
	[PreviewField]
	public Collider ColliderPrefab;
}

or a custom MonoBehaviour

using using CollisionBear.PreviewObjectPicker;

public class TestComponent : MonoBehaviour { }

public class TestClass: ScriptableObject {
	[PreviewField]
	public TestComponent TestComponentPrefab;
}
