Resource files

Resource file items are project items that represent the files in the resource file directories of the project directory. Kanzi Studio synchronizes files listed in the Resource Files with those found in the project resource directory.

See Managing resource files.

Resource files are usually not part of the Kanzi application until you instantiate them.

In Library > Resource Files files are divided into the following directories:

  • 3D Assets. Kanzi Studio places the 3D assets you import to your project to <KanziWorkspace>/Projects/<ProjectName>/3D Assets. You need to import 3D asset files from the resource files into project objects. See 3D assets.

  • Images. Use image files to bring bitmap assets to Kanzi Studio. See Images.

    Kanzi Studio places image files you import to your project to <KanziWorkspace>/<ProjectName>/Images.

  • Generic. This directory contains resources that Kanzi Studio does not process, but exports to the kzb file. You can use generic resources to, for example, include data files for custom applications in the exported kzb file.

    Kanzi Studio places generic files you import to your project to <KanziWorkspace>/Projects/<ProjectName>/Generic.

  • Fonts. Kanzi Studio places font files you import to your project to <KanziWorkspace>/Projects/<ProjectName>/Fonts. See Importing fonts.

  • Shaders. Kanzi Studio places shader files you create or import to your project to <KanziWorkspace>/Projects/<ProjectName>/Shaders. See Shaders.

  • Binary. This is the default location for exported kzb files. You can configure the location for the exported kzb files in the project settings. Kanzi Studio by default exports the kzb files to <KanziWorkspace>/Projects/<ProjectName>/Binary. See Using kzb files.
