How to Install Templates

Steps

Step:

1. Download com.unity.template.anime.*.tgz archive files, each for each supported render pipeline, from the Releases page.
2. Open \Editor\Data\Resources\PackageManager\ProjectTemplates folder inside Unity Editor installation folder.
   Example: C:\Program_Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2020.3.27f1\Editor\Data\Resources\PackageManager\ProjectTemplates
3. Copy downloaded archive files to the above folder.

Templates like Anime(HDRP) will now be selectable from the Unity Hub template list.

Note: When creating a project in the Unity Hub on Windows platform, project creation will fail if the project path is over 75 bytes.
As an example, creating a project named “1234567890abcdefghijkl” under D:\Storage\Unity_Projects\AnimeToolboxTemplate\202106\ will fail.
This issue happens as a side effect of the required manual template installation process, and therefore please be aware of the project name and path when creating a project using Unity Hub templates.

Installing the Anime Toolbox template for the first time on a Windows PC

The Package Manager used for installing packages for Anime Toolbox templates may require Git to be installed in the environment. If you are using a Windows PC and do not have Git for Windows, please download and install it from the link below.

Git for Windows

You can verify whether Git is already installed or not in Windows by typing the following in the command prompt:

git --version

If Git is not installed, no version will be displayed.
