Create or modify a bootstrap script

Create or modify a bootstrap script

To make your Python Asset Builder script available to the asset processing system, you must add a bootstrap.py file to the path or modify an existing bootstrap.py file. We recommend you use a location that is relative to where your Python Asset Builder scripts will be stored, such as one of the following:

  • lumberyard_version\dev\MyProject\Editor\Scripts\bootstrap.py
  • lumberyard_version\dev\Gems\MyGem\Editor\Scripts\bootstrap.py

To add your Python Asset Builder, import it in the bootstrap.py file.

import asset_builder_my_asset_type

The above example assumes that the Python Asset Builder is named asset_builder_my_asset_type.py, and that it’s in the same directory as the bootstrap.py file.
