Asset Pipeline Customizations
summary
Shows a working Unity 2.1 pipeline that automates FBX and texture handling for a Funcom MMO: uses Visual Studio + UnityEngine.dll and UnityEditor.dll via a symbolic-link workflow, and implements asset postprocessor hooks like postprocessModel and OnAssignMaterialModel to rename clips, strip unwanted generated objects, and attach an AnimationFBXCleaner wrapper with distance metadata. Also a lightmap finder sets renderer lightmap indices and writes a LightmapSetup component; one FBX per animation scales to ~50–200 animations per character and the system noticeably reduces manual material and lightmap labor.
