There's an awesome app for Steam that automates moving folders from one drive to another for the aforementioned SSD/RAID scenario. SteamMover also allows you to run the commands manually.
Unity City Assets Free
I myself have limited space on my OS harddrive. Rather than buck the system, what you can do is actually change where your APPDATA is stored.The best workflow for including packages is by creating a new project and checking off the things you want (listing everything you've downloaded from the asset store). But once your project is created and you want to bring in something else that you've already downloaded, there doesn't seem to be a nice way to do it without manually pointing to this hidden directory. If there is, please let me know as that is what drove me here. I find it annoying that the packages are not downloaded in a selectable destination.after all I don't get the point of encrypting, since you can just save the whole project, zip it and give it away. I do it like this.
All Assets from Unity are all updated and seen on another drive and C drive is free, you just have a link in c that points towards the new location.Move Asset Store, not copy but move to your desired drive.Example C:UsersChrisAppDataRoamingUnityAsset StoretoD:Asset Store is now directly under drive D:Now open the command line as shown below.Press Windows start buttom or click start and type cmd and press return.Then type cd and press return again.Now link Asset Store with this command. Using your User name.G: is where I moved Asset Store to.C: is where it was.mklink /j 'C:UsersChrisAppDataRoamingUnityAsset Store' 'G:Asset Store'Press returnFINISHED. I do it like this.

Click to expand.Thanks for the hint, but keep in mind that many, me included, works on both Mac and Win, which means that if you want a shared dir, it is quite a mess.On Mac I just made a symlink, and I am working like that, downloading things one at time, renaming them accordingly, and moving them in specific folders (like for the tutorials, where you have also the pdf files and not only the package).Altho once you move them, the store has no clue if you download it already or not, which makes a bit messy the process of updating packages, when a new version is out. That's why I would rather prefer a native solution: you set in the editor where the stuff goes, and the store knows what did you download, where it is and organize/update it accordingly. The reason why assets are stored in C:UsersAccountNameAppDataRoaming respectively in the User Application Library on Mac is: because it belongs there. It is data related to an application, and to that one application only, so it belongs into the application data storage. Bs en 12504-1. The 'store data wherever you want'-policy of older Windows system actually creates a huge mess and now Microsoft struggles hard to get people away from it. Other OS have been more restrictive for a good reason.
So actually, Unity is doing it right.If you want to have a clean system install on an SSD, for example, than you should not move single files or folders around, messing up the system logic, you should move the whole users folder to another drive.
By 'putting colors on blender models' you probably mean texturing them. You need to learn how to unwrap your 3d models and paint textures for them. Blender can do the unwrapping part, but you'll need to use a paint program like Photoshop to actually create the textures. Since you mention free, you'll probably want to look at Paint.NET, GIMP, or another free paint program instead of Photoshop.In any case, there are plenty of tutorials online for how to model, unwrap, texture, and import models using all of the software mentioned above.
