About this asset

Create 2.5D scenes with ease and without running action scripts. Author your scene in Photoshop, then inside Unity point LAYERED to the PSD file and import. Easy peasy. Adjust pivots, update the resolution of the vectors, and change the z distance between layers, all from inside Unity.

A typical workflow is: author PSD file in Photoshop -> import into Unity -> make update to PSD -> import into Unity. LAYERED makes iterations easy!

Nothing wrong with Layered, but Unity 2021.3.45 URP has a bug that doesn't draw objects that use an opaque shader. That means the Padding sample cubes don't show in the scene.
