ResonitePackage is an upcoming package format allowing users to share and import pre-setup avatars and objects easily[1].

Goals

The goals of the ResonitePackage format are to:

  • Allow creators to share creations outside of Resonite
    • For example an avatar creator adding a ResonitePackage version of their avatar

Non-Goals

  • Compatibility with Unity/Unitypackage
    • Unitypackage is a proprietary format, that we cannot support/emulate
    • Therefore Unity will not support ResonitePackage.
  • Compatibility with other VR Platforms
    • ResonitePackage files will not be suppoted by other VR Platforms

Contents

ResonitePackages will include everything needed to re-create an object inside Resonite when re-imported. Including:

  • All Assets
    • Images
    • Sounds
    • Meshes
    • Videos
  • Slot Hierarchies
    • Including Bones
    • Including all components
    • ProtoFlux

All assets will be included explicitly, as a file within the package.

Variants

You can also optionally, export a ResonitePackage with all asset variants. This will result in a larger file size though.

Naming

The name was chosen as it was the most explicit (following in the steps of the Unity engine having the UnityPackage format), and as a way to advertise the platform[2][3].
