Parameters

sourceAsset
Type: ExternalReference<TInput>
Reference to the source asset.
processorName
Type: System.String
Optional processor for this content.

Return Value

Type: ExternalReference<TOutput>
Reference to the final compiled content. The build work is not required to complete before returning. Therefore, this file may not be up to date when BuildAsset returns but it will be available for loading by the game at runtime.
Remarks
An example of usage for BuildAsset is being called by a mesh processor to request that any related textures used are also built, replacing the original TGA file references with new references to the converted texture files.
