Creating Factory Assets for Your Plug-in

Factory Assets are a nice way to offer pre-composed named presets with a plug-in. The Manifest.xml, located in the FactoryAssets folder at the root of the project, points to a Wwise Work Unit file (.wwu) where the application will find all the plug-in presets. It's the responsibility of the plug-in maker to create this Work Unit file. Here is a simple routine to do so when the development of the plug-in is finished.

1 - Create a new Wwise project.

2 - In the Designer Layout, open the ShareSets tab and expand the Effects folder.

3 - Right-click the Effects folder, select New Child > Work Unit and give it the name of your plug-in.

4 - Right-click on your newly created Work Unit and select New Child > <your plug-in> (in a section at the end of the list).

5 - Give it a name (which will be the name of a preset), double-click on it to open the Effect Editor and adjust the parameters to your liking.

6 - Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each preset you want to create, then save the project.

7 - Copy the file created in the Effects folder of your Wwise project (i.e. YourPluginName.wwu) and save it in the plug-in project in FactoryAssets/Effects folder. Create the Effects folder if needed.

8 - In the Manifest.xml file, make sure the name of your Work Unit file matches the Manifest Name field (without extension) and the name of your plug-in matches the Plugin PluginName field.

That's it! Your Factory Assets will now be packaged with your plug-in and installed in Wwise/Authoring/Data/Factory Assets/YourPluginName.
