📦 Asset Bundles

Creating Asset Bundles

Asset bundles are used by Unity to load assets at runtime.
To manually create an asset bundle, you can place the following code in a script and run it in the editor:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
using System.IO;

public class CreateAssetBundles
{
    [MenuItem("Assets/Build AssetBundles")]
    static void BuildAllAssetBundles()
    {
        string assetBundleDirectory = "Assets/AssetBundles";
        if (!Directory.Exists(Application.streamingAssetsPath))
        {
            Directory.CreateDirectory(assetBundleDirectory);
        }
        BuildPipeline.BuildAssetBundles(assetBundleDirectory, BuildAssetBundleOptions.None, EditorUserBuildSettings.activeBuildTarget);
    }
}

Place this script inside the Assets/Editor folder.
Then, you have to assign the asset bundle name to each asset you want to include in the bundle by selecting the asset and changing the asset bundle name in the inspector (under the Asset Labels section). Finally, you can build the asset bundle(s) by selecting Assets/Build AssetBundles in the menu bar.
The asset bundles will be placed in the Assets/AssetBundles folder.

You can use the following templates to create asset bundles:
