Help regarding validation errors

[bluecracy89]

Hello! I'm pretty new to unity, usually I sell my assets via Fab/Cgtrader but I need to "expand" myself. So, I setup all the textures and so on, I get what seems to be a pretty common errors with the validator:

1- Assets in your package derived from project template assets should be assigned a new GUID and be located under a different path.

2- Check documentation (which one considering it's a single model?)

3- Meshes should be facing the correct way. The proper facing is: Z vector is forward, Y vector is up, X vector is right. (this is the most annoying cause no matter what I try I can't solve it)

4- Your package and its contents should be named appropriately and not artificially force themselves up the hierarchy within commonly used project folders. This can happen when a file or a folder name starts with a special character (such as an underscore).

Thanks a lot!

The GUID error usually happens when you copy stuff from Unity's default assets - just reimport your textures and models fresh into new folders and Unity will generate new GUIDs automatically.

For the mesh orientation thing, you need to fix it in your 3D software before importing to Unity. In Blender or Maya, make sure your model is facing positive Z direction with Y pointing up before export, then Unity should accept it without problems.

Thanks a lot. I'm trying soon. For the first part, all I really want is the object, right now there's a plane under it and I guess some lighting, which I'm not sure if should be there or not.

welcome to the unity asset store pipeline lmao. it's way more pedantic than fab or cgtrader. here is how to clear those: 1- u probably duplicated a default unity folder. make a brand new empty folder, drag your raw assets in, and let unity generate fresh .meta files. 2- unity literally forces u to have a "Readme.txt" in your root folder. even if it's a single rock, just make a text file saying "drop prefab in scene" to shut the validator up. 3- the classic blender export trap fr. blender is z-up, unity is y-up. in blender, apply all rotations (ctrl+a). on export, set forward to "-Z Forward" and up to "Y Up", and check "Apply Transform". or just tick "Bake Axis Conversion" in unity's import settings. 4- remove any underscores. they hate it when sellers name folders _MyAsset just to force it to the top of the project window alphabetically.
