AssetPostprocessor lets you hook into the import pipeline and run scripts prior or after importing assets.
During model import the functions are called in the the following order: OnPreprocessModel is called at the very beginning and you can override ModelImporter settings that are used for the whole model import process. After Meshes and Materials are imported, the GameObjects hierarchy is created from the imported nodes. Use OnPostprocessMeshHierarchy to change the hierarchy. Every GameObject that represents an imported node is given a corresponding MeshFilter, MeshRenderer, and MeshCollider component. Before assigning a Material to the MeshRenderer, the OnAssignMaterialModel function is invoked. After GameObject has initialized MeshRenderers and "userdata" exists OnPostprocessGameObjectWithUserProperties is called. That happens before children GameObjects are generated. If animation generation was not disabled at previous stages (see ModelImporter.generateAnimations), then SkinnedMesh and Animations are generated. If possible Avatar is also created and GameObjecs hierarchy is optimized. After that OnPostprocessModel is called for the root GameObject. OnPreprocessSpeedTree and OnPostprocessSpeedTree are called on SpeedTree assets (.spm file) the same way as OnPreprocessModel and OnPostprocessModel, except that the assetImporter type is SpeedTreeImporter.
| assetImporter | Reference to the asset importer. |
| assetPath | The path name of the asset being imported. |
| context | The import context. |
| GetPostprocessOrder | Override the order in which importers are processed. |
| GetVersion | Returns the version of the asset postprocessor. |
| OnAssignMaterialModel | Feeds a source material. |
| OnPostprocessAllAssets | This is called after importing of any number of assets is complete (when the Assets progress bar has reached the end). |
| OnPostprocessAnimation | This function is called when an AnimationClip has finished importing. |
| OnPostprocessAssetbundleNameChanged | Handler called when asset is assigned to a different asset bundle. |
| OnPostprocessAudio | Add this function to a subclass to get a notification when an audio clip has completed importing. |
| OnPostprocessCubemap | Add this function to a subclass to get a notification just before a cubemap texture has completed importing. |
| OnPostprocessGameObjectWithAnimatedUserProperties | This function is called when the animation curves for a custom property are finished importing. |
| OnPostprocessGameObjectWithUserProperties | Gets called for each GameObject that had at least one user property attached to it in the imported file. |
| OnPostprocessMaterial | Add this function to a subclass to get a notification when a new Material is created during an import of a ModelImporter. |
