Description
AssetBundles let you stream additional assets via the WWW class and instantiate them at runtime. AssetBundles are created via BuildPipeline.BuildAssetBundles.
Note that bundles are not compatible between platforms. A bundle built for any of the standalone
platforms (including webplayer) can only be loaded on that platform but not others.
Furthermore, a bundle built for iOS is not compatible with Android and vice versa. This is because they have fundamentally different formats for certain asset types between the devices - such as shaders and texture formats.
See Also: WWW.assetBundle, Loading Resources at Runtime, BuildPipeline.BuildAssetBundles.
function Start () {
var www = WWW ("http://myserver/myBundle.unity3d");
yield www;
// Get the designated main asset and instantiate it.
Instantiate(www.assetBundle.mainAsset);
}
IEnumerator Start ()
{
WWW www = new WWW("http://myserver/myBundle.unity3d");
yield return www;
// Get the designated main asset and instantiate it.
Instantiate(www.assetBundle.mainAsset);
}
