The Bake Meshes node creates a new single mesh as a combination of all meshes under the Root input slot's hierarchy. Specific behaviour depends significantly on the input values, see Usage.
Usage
When an impulse is received at Bake, and with all default bool inputs, this node creates a new slot whose name is the name of the original Root input slot with " - Baked" appended. This slot contains MeshRenderer, Grabbable, and MeshCollider components. The MeshRenderer and MeshCollider components' Mesh field is filled with a reference to the newly baked mesh. This is a combination of all meshes previously referenced by enabled MeshRenderer/SkinnedMeshRenderer components under any active slots under the input Root slot's hierarchy. The MeshRenderer component contains references to the materials previously present on the individual meshes; if these are subsequently changed, the changes only affect the part of the baked mesh which was originally affected by the changed material.
If the IncludeInactive input is True (False by default) the baked mesh will also include any meshes on inactive slots under the input Root slot's hierarchy. Inactive meshes will be visible in the final baked mesh.
If the Undoable input is True (False by default), the baking event can be undone using the Undo button on the radial context menu.
If the DestroyOriginal input is False (True by default) the original Root input slot (and all of its children) is not destroyed after baking.
It is recommended to take care with the Undoable and DestroyOriginal options, by default this node will destroy the Root slot, along with its children, in an event which cannot be undone!. It is also important to consider the number of triangles which the eventual baked mesh will contain - MeshColliders for high-poly meshes can impose a significant performance cost.
