| | During import of an asset, the asset importer is run, which produces some number of Unity serializable assets. |
| | |
| | The Library/Artifacts folder stores these post-import generated files for every asset, keyed by the hash of the generated asset.((Note that this is not keyed by the GUID of the asset, as it was in the last asset database.)) These generated assets are also called ''producedFiles'' in Unity internal. |
| | |
| | You can look up a disk Asset's post-import representation by ((Note: This only seems to work on 2020.2.1f1. On 2021.2.0a6.1011, the editor doesn't log the hash, or not always?)): |
| | - Opening the Unity ''Editor.log'' |
| | - Right-click on the asset, 'Reimport' |
| | - In the resulting import debug output, locate the phrase ''producedFiles[0].contentHash:'' |
| | - The key for that recently imported asset will be at the printed hash. |

| | ===== Artifact Paths ===== |
| |
| //Before AssetDatabase v2, this folder path was Library/metdata// | You can query the path of an artifact using ''AssetDatabaseExperimental''((2020.2)). An artifact may have an ArtifactPath that looks like: ''VirtualArtifacts/Primary/f1a775a1988b4d6418f6ccb2522b70a3'', rather than having a disk path. I can only assume that these "VirtualArtifacts" are stored somewhere in memory, for efficiency, rather than stored on disk. |
