Scripting With the Python API

Using the Python scripting API in Asset Transformer Studio
Read time 1 minute
Last updated a day ago
Scripting
Asset Transformer Studio comes with a scripting API and a Python Scripting Editor, allowing advanced users to create powerful scripts and plugins to automate repetitive or complex data preparation tasks.

Interactive and scriptable

Asset Transformer Studio's User Interface reflects the API based philosophy of the application: almost all functions available through the interface can also be called in scripting.
The Python interface offers even more functions, to allow the user to create limitless data preparation recipes.

Getting started with Python Scripting

Import/Export and scripting

The Python interface cannot be used for batch/automation data preparation scripts: Asset Transformer SDK is the solution for this, and the supporting tool for developing scripts is the Asset Transformer SDK UI.

Asset Transformer Studio plugins

With Asset Transformer Studio, it is possible to build and share powerful plugins with the integrated Python scripting interface.
Find more info about plugins in the Plugins page.
