Prefabs are one of the absolute core concepts in Unity but prefab variants are often an underutilised tool. In this video we show the different ways you can use prefabs, prefab variants, and nested prefabs to speed up your workflow.

A comprehensive walkthrough of Unity's prefab system covering prefabs, prefab variants, and nested prefabs. Explains the difference between game objects and prefabs, how prefab variants inherit from a base while allowing overrides, and how nested prefabs enable modular object composition. Practical workflows are demonstrated using a tanks demo project, including creating prefab variants from imported meshes, organizing prefabs in folders, gray-boxing level design with primitives, applying overrides, and editing prefabs in scene context. Best practices for naming conventions and folder structure are also covered to support team collaboration.
