Create AssetBundles from a different Unity Project

Hello there,

Is it possible to make a AssetBundle from a project and load it in a build of another project?

I'm thinking of ways I could create a type of plugin mechanic that would enable other people to create assets for a project. For example, adding a prefab with a new model.

I'm thinking of doing something like creating an interface(C#), that the developers would need to implement in order for their prefabs to work in the context their are adding it.

Is this possible? Or does it even make sense? There are better ways to achieve what I want?

Thank you

 

Yes, this is possible, but the bundles can not contain code (on AOT platforms) so this complicates things.

 

What about this?

That's possible depending on what platform you target. IOS for example uses ahead of time compilation which makes this impossible. Also, the scripts will have to be compiled to a DLL

 

Hmm I'll have to check if this is a possibility for my project. iOS is not a problem, I only need desktop. This might help, thanks for the help
