Create(string, int, int, PreviewRequest)

public static Task<Texture2D> Create(string prefabPath, int size = 128, int frameCount = 1, PreviewRequest previewRequest = null)

No description is available for this member.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
prefabPath	System.String
size	System.Int32
frameCount	System.Int32
previewRequest	AssetInventory.PreviewRequest

Returns

System.Threading.Tasks.Task{UnityEngine.Texture2D} — No return description is available.

Create(GameObject, int, int, string, PreviewRequest)

public static Task<Texture2D> Create(GameObject prefab, int size = 128, int frameCount = 1, string prefabPath = null, PreviewRequest previewRequest = null)

No description is available for this member.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
prefab	UnityEngine.GameObject
size	System.Int32
frameCount	System.Int32
prefabPath	System.String
previewRequest	AssetInventory.PreviewRequest

Returns

System.Threading.Tasks.Task{UnityEngine.Texture2D} — No return description is available.

CreateFBX(string, int, int, int, PreviewRequest)

public static Task<Texture2D> CreateFBX(string fbxPath, int size = 128, int frameCount = 1, int animationCount = 0, PreviewRequest previewRequest = null)

No description is available for this member.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
fbxPath	System.String
size	System.Int32
frameCount	System.Int32
animationCount	System.Int32
previewRequest	AssetInventory.PreviewRequest

Returns

System.Threading.Tasks.Task{UnityEngine.Texture2D} — No return description is available.

CreateAnim(string, int, int, PreviewRequest, List)

public static Task<Texture2D> CreateAnim(string animPath, int size = 128, int frameCount = 1, PreviewRequest previewRequest = null, List<AssetFile> dependencies = null)

Creates a preview for a standalone .anim (AnimationClip) file. Unlike FBX, .anim files contain only animation data and require a model to preview on.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
animPath	System.String	Path to the .anim file
size	System.Int32	Preview size in pixels
frameCount	System.Int32	Number of frames (1 for static, more for animated)
previewRequest	AssetInventory.PreviewRequest	Optional preview request for metadata storage
dependencies	System.Collections.Generic.List{AssetInventory.AssetFile}	List of dependencies that may contain FBX models

Returns

System.Threading.Tasks.Task{UnityEngine.Texture2D} — No return description is available.

HandleParticleSystems(GameObject)

public static void HandleParticleSystems(GameObject go)

No description is available for this member.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
go	UnityEngine.GameObject

HandleVFXSystems(GameObject)

public static void HandleVFXSystems(GameObject go)

No description is available for this member.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
go	UnityEngine.GameObject

GetVFXDuration(GameObject)

public static float GetVFXDuration(GameObject go)

No description is available for this member.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
go	UnityEngine.GameObject

Returns

System.Single — No return description is available.

CalculateOptimalParticleTime(GameObject)

public static float CalculateOptimalParticleTime(GameObject go)

No description is available for this member.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
go	UnityEngine.GameObject

Returns

System.Single — No return description is available.

GetParticleSystemDuration(GameObject)

public static float GetParticleSystemDuration(GameObject go)

No description is available for this member.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
go	UnityEngine.GameObject

Returns

System.Single — No return description is available.

GetVisuallyActiveDuration(GameObject)

public static float GetVisuallyActiveDuration(GameObject go)

Returns a shorter duration focused on the visually active period of the effect. For non-looping systems this is the emission phase plus a brief aftermath (25% of max particle lifetime, capped at 0.5s). For looping systems the full duration is used. This prevents animated previews from wasting frames on the dying/fading tail.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
go	UnityEngine.GameObject

Returns

System.Single — No return description is available.

GetVisuallyActiveDuration(GameObject, out bool)

public static float GetVisuallyActiveDuration(GameObject go, out bool isBurstDominated)

Returns a shorter duration focused on the visually active period of the effect. Detects burst-only systems (no continuous rateOverTime/rateOverDistance) and uses lastBurstTime + particleLifetime instead of the system duration which may be much longer.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
go	UnityEngine.GameObject	The particle system root GameObject
isBurstDominated	System.Boolean	Output: true when majority of systems are burst-only, useful for callers that want to front-load frame distribution.

Returns

System.Single — No return description is available.

CalculateEffectiveCenterAndScale(Bounds, Vector3, out Vector3, out float)

public static void CalculateEffectiveCenterAndScale(Bounds bounds, Vector3 prefabRoot, out Vector3 effectiveCenter, out float distanceScale)

Calculate the effective look-at center and distance scale factor for particle effects where the bounds center is significantly offset from the prefab root. This consolidates the repeated effectiveCenter correction logic into a single method.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
bounds	UnityEngine.Bounds	The particle bounds
prefabRoot	UnityEngine.Vector3	The prefab’s root world position
effectiveCenter	UnityEngine.Vector3	Output: the corrected look-at center
distanceScale	System.Single	Output: multiplier for camera distance (0.5–1.0)

PositionParticleCamera(Bounds, Camera, Vector3)

public static bool PositionParticleCamera(Bounds bounds, Camera camera, Vector3 prefabRoot)

Position the camera for a particle effect using the standard particle camera angles and the effectiveCenter correction. This consolidates the repeated inline camera positioning code used in pre-passes and post-emit repositioning.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
bounds	UnityEngine.Bounds	The particle bounds to frame
camera	UnityEngine.Camera	The preview camera
prefabRoot	UnityEngine.Vector3	The prefab’s root world position

Returns

System.Boolean — True if camera was successfully repositioned, false if bounds were invalid

PositionCameraForPrefab(GameObject, Camera, PrefabType, float)

public static void PositionCameraForPrefab(GameObject prefab, Camera camera, CustomPrefabPreviewGenerator.PrefabType prefabType, float animationDuration = 0)

No description is available for this member.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
prefab	UnityEngine.GameObject
camera	UnityEngine.Camera
prefabType	AssetInventory.CustomPrefabPreviewGenerator.PrefabType
animationDuration	System.Single
