Unity 3.1 Asset Store

Just saw this yesterday. Seems like a pretty cool way for hobbyist/indie game developers to make some extra cash, or get a hold of some assets without needing a bunch of artists to make content.

What do you guys think? I may consider throwing up stuff I work on. I just hope its easier to tell what you are buying than turbosquid is.

This is exactly what I've been looking for, so I don't see how you're suppose to shop the asset store yet (unless that's waiting for content). Hopefully they create some sort of request system too (or have a request section in their forums).

70/30 people should like that a little better than 50/50 over at TurboSquid.

Same feelings as notman,
not quite sure what the development state is.
All I can do is send a content proposal ?
Sounds cool and someone enjoyed the valve store success, I guess

Hope this thread here gets updates as soon as there's some assets to share/get

keens shader editor is already there to buy, guess this will be my first purchase

This is a pretty neat idea. Will definitely try to upload some stuff and see how it goes.

So is that the only link with info on it? No actual store set up yet?

I just may try to get in on this.

I think you can only access the store through the editor.

this is pretty awesome... i can imagine people making tileable floor/wall assets etc. and selling them for $20 each... small price to charge in a way, but when 20 people buy it (let's face it, not at all unlikely a figure) you've made $280.

Does it need to be content already exported (or already setup for export) into Unity? Or can it be the raw files (.max and PS?)

low odor

Yeah this has some great potential

You can access the asset store from Unity itself.

I updated my Unity version to 3.1 this morning. I don't know if it was there in the previous version.

It's under Window -> Asset Store

There is a good chunk of stuff in the store already.

While this is great for the unity user himself to have it integrated, wouldn't it attract even more people to the project/engine if there'd be some preview of the available assets on the main homepage.
At least, that's my feelings. I often browse such things for the sake of it
And if I had the desire and money to develop something unity related I'd greatly appreciate some sort of preview.
Anyways....
