## Description

UABE is a specialized toolset for extracting, modifying, and converting assets stored within Unity engine bundle files. It functions as an asset bundle extractor and a game modding utility designed to alter 3D meshes, textures, and audio within Unity games.

The project includes an asset format converter that transforms internal Unity data into common file formats for external editing. It also features a mod installer generator to create standalone installation packages from modified asset bundle files.

The software provides capabilities for game resource extraction and asset conversion, allowing users to retrieve embedded files and transform proprietary internal assets into standard media types.
