Tired of messy Unity project folders?
Every Unity project starts tidy and drifts. A few sprints in, the Assets/ folder is full of badly named Prefabs, Materials, Textures and Scenes, duplicate imports, and files nobody is sure are still used. Unity Studio Hub is a browser-based way to scan your project tree and see naming issues, orphaned assets, dependency problems and approval status in one dashboard - so you catch them before they become production problems. Point it at your Assets/ folder and stop hunting by hand.
Unity naming conventions, validated automatically
Unity's own advice is simple: document your naming conventions and folder structure, stay consistent, avoid spaces in file and folder names, and automate bulk changes. The hard part is enforcing it across a whole team. The Unity naming convention checker validates every asset against your rules and flags the ones that break them - spaces, wrong case, missing type prefixes, inconsistent separators. It understands Unity texture conventions too, so the material and texture naming validator checks suffixes like _BaseColor, _Normal, _MaskMap, _Metallic and _AO that URP and HDRP materials expect.
Example naming rules it checks
- No spaces or special characters in asset or folder names
- Consistent case (PascalCase is the common Unity default)
- Type prefixes or suffixes:
T_ textures, M_ materials, SM_ meshes, PF_ prefabs (adapt to your studio)
- Texture channel suffixes:
_BaseColor, _Normal, _MaskMap, _Metallic, _Roughness, _AO, _Emission
- Scenes, ScriptableObjects and Animator Controllers named to a predictable pattern
Every Unity asset type and special folder
The scanner speaks Unity. It reads the Assets/ folder - the main folder that holds everything a Unity project uses - and recognises the asset types real projects are built from: Prefabs (and prefab variants), Materials, Textures, Models (FBX), Scenes, ScriptableObjects, Animator Controllers, Shader Graph and VFX Graph assets. It also knows Unity's reserved and special folders - Editor, Resources, StreamingAssets, Plugins, Gizmos - and render-pipeline realities like URP, HDRP and Addressables, so its checks match how Unity actually treats your files. See the Assets folder scanner for how a scan works.
Find orphaned assets and clean up your project
Unity references assets by GUID through their .meta files, which makes it hard to eyeball what is still used. The orphaned-assets checker surfaces assets that nothing in your scenes or prefabs references, so you can review and remove dead weight with confidence instead of guessing. Combined with the project cleanup workflow, it turns a bloated Assets/ folder back into something a new team member can navigate.
Prefabs, approvals and reports
Beyond naming, Unity Studio Hub tracks the production side. The prefab manager gives you a clear view of prefabs and their dependencies; the approval workflow moves each asset through WIP → Review → Approved → In Use so everyone knows what is final; and the report export produces a CSV or PDF audit you can hand to a lead or attach to a milestone. It is the full Unity asset management tool in one browser tab.
How Unity Studio Hub is different
Unity Studio Hub is a lightweight, browser-based production-hygiene tool, not a replacement for the software you already run. It does not replace the Unity Editor, Plastic SCM, Git, Jira or Trello. Instead it gives teams a fast way to scan the Assets/ folder, check naming conventions, review asset status, find orphaned content and export reports - without installing a custom Unity package or adding another heavy editor extension.
