Assign Assets to AssetBundles

Motive and Storyflow can deploy Assets to your Unity Scene via Unity AssetBundles. You can assign a Unity Asset to an AssetBundle in the inspector window for the Asset.

Note #1: make sure you have selected the Asset in the project and not in the scene. The AssetBundle chooser only shows up for the Asset.

Note #2: if you are editing an Asset Prefab in a Scene, make sure to save any changes to the Prefab so that they get built into the AssetBundle.

You should see this view a the bottom of the inspector window:
