AssetBundle example

Does anyone know where to find a simple tutorial on how to use AssetBundles (creating them, instantiating from them)? The example from the Unity main site simply does not work in with 3.4.2. Nothing loads when hitting a button, just various error messages.

Essentially I want to load a scene (with potentially new prefabs), that was not part of my original build, from disk (i don't care about from the web etc). I know there is an issue with adding new compiled scripts, but lets say all the scripts needed are already part of the original stand alone PC build.

 

Bump... yes, I am also having problems with the Asset Bundle example project. Running the Loader.unity scene and clicking on the first load button "Download Shared.unity" results in an error message which says it couldn't open the file at the <path>/AssetBundles/Shared.unity

Anyone able to get this to work? It's pretty tough to learn the system when Unity's own example scenes don't function.

 

Hey guys, you have to run the AutomatedExportResources.js Editor script first in order to generate the asset bundles, by right-clicking anywhere in the project window and clicking "Auto Build Resource Files".

From there on out the filles that are not found, resulting in an error will exist, and the rest of the example should work as expected.

You have to read through the code a little to figure that one out, its a shame there isn't a README.txt or better doccumentation in the example project.

Hopefully that helps.

 

A good example of Asset Bundles is the Character Customization sample
