Asset Instances

[KamalTD]

Thank you so much for your great work on Gazu! I truly appreciate your efforts — it’s incredibly helpful ,
I was wondering if you could kindly provide a full example or some documentation on how to properly use asset instances, specifically:

new_asset_asset_instance

new_asset_instance_output_file

And also how to work with entity outputs effectively. I'm trying to understand the intended workflow and best practices around these features, but couldn’t find detailed examples in the current documentation.

Any guidance, snippet, or explanation would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again for your great work

Asset instances are used by particular productions where assets are modified only for a single shot. In that case, an instance is created (or multiple ones like if you have 10 soldiers in a shot and a single soldier asset). This instance is also versioned.

Output files related to these instances are tracked separately.

Thanks a lot @frankrousseau for your reply, it was beneficial! 🙏
I realize now that I misunderstood the purpose of asset instances. The explanation you gave about using them makes perfect sense.
The confusion came from some errors I was getting during testing. I couldn’t figure out the issue at first, but later I discovered that the instance_asset key was missing in my project file tree, which is what triggered the error in the first place.
Appreciate your help !

Ok thank you for reporting this issue. We don't maintain much this part but it may change in the upcoming years.
