Thank you for your feedback!

With Unity, artists and designers can reduce their reliance on programmers and technical artists to implement their ideas, and keep more creative control. To help you get started, we’re highlighting our Unite Now sessions for artists in one place.

Unity has a growing number of features that are artist and designer friendly – that don’t require programming knowledge to make something beautiful or fun. We want to empower anybody working on a game, even within a large team, to execute their artistic vision faithfully and in real-time. Whether you’re an artist that has never used Unity before or you want to dive deep to get the most out of Unity’s features, we want you to have the tools you need to make great content as easily as possible.
