Anatomy of a Plugin

The files and folder structure that make up an Asset Transformer Studio plugin
Read time 1 minuteLast updated a month ago
A plugin is made up of at least two files:
  • An XML file: Plugin user interface definition. Without this file, no plugin will be detected by Asset Transformer Studio.
  • A Python file: script to be executed.
And has to be organized as followed:
Plugin folder structure
The plugin folder must be placed at one of these locations (see Plugins):
  • ProgramData
    folder (
    %programdata%/PixyzStudio/plugins
    ): place a plugin folder here to make it available for all computer users (see Creating a Plugin) — recommended location
  • AppData
    folder (
    %appdata%/PixyzStudio/plugins
    ): place a plugin folder here to restrain plugin access to the concerned user (see Creating a Plugin)
Once loaded in Asset Transformer Studio, it is accessible directly from the Plugins menu:
