Script-Based Effect Asset Creation Avoiding Package Size Inflation

The patent creates a virtual machine that copies and executes user-defined resource type implementations rather than requiring native code for each resource type. Users can define resource types in a scripting language, and the virtual machine interprets and executes these definitions, eliminating the need to include native code for every possible resource type in the package.

The patent changes the implementation approach from static native code to dynamic scripting. By allowing resource types to be defined through parameters and configurations in a scripting language rather than fixed native implementations, the system achieves versatility without increasing package size, as the same virtual machine can execute different resource type definitions.

The patent segments the resource type definition from the core tool structure. The virtual machine handles the common execution framework, while users can independently define and customize resource types through scripting. This segmentation allows the base tool to remain simple while enabling extensive user creativity through separate, modifiable resource type definitions.

The patent enables users to self-service by allowing them to define their own resource types using a scripting language. Instead of relying on pre-defined resource types, users can create custom resource types that meet their specific needs, thereby enhancing creativity and productivity without significantly increasing the complexity of the base tool structure.
