An extension to the BuildReport class that tracks how Assets contribute to the size of the build.

Definition

public sealed class PackedAssets : Object

Remarks

The build process generates a PackedAssets object for each Serialized File, resS and resource file generated by a build. Serialized Files contain serialized Unity Objects from scenes and assets.
The PackedAsset information can be used to analyze what content contributes to the size of each file in the build, for example to calculate the total size of all textures.
Note: For large builds the PackedAsset objects can grow very large, and consume a significant amount of memory. The ContentSummary is a compact representation that can be used as a more efficient alternative to the PackedAssets structure in many cases.
Example file names for Serialized Files in the output of a Player build are 
level0
, 
level1
, 
resources.assets
, 
sharedassets0.assets
and 
globalgamemanagers.assets
. Note: there is no PackedAsset object generated for the 
globalgamemanager
file.
AssetBundles that contain assets have a single serialized file, with a name like 
CAB-b8befc517982290c55526f35cbb7f03d
. AssetBundles that contain scenes have multiple serialized files.
The BuildReport created for ContentDirectory builds does not include PackedAssets.
The PackedAssets for a Serialized File records the size of the header and metadata section in the 
overhead
property, and then information about each object in the 
contents
property.
Files with the 
.resource
extension contain audio or video data that is referenced by an AudioClip or VideoClip object inside the associated Serialized File. For example 
level1.resource
contains audio and video data from objects inside the Serialized File 
level1
. The PackedAsset for a .resource file records information about the originating asset for each blob of audio or video data in the .resource file.
Similarly, the PackedAsset object for a .resS file records information about the size and origin of Texture and Mesh data inside the file.
