Intoduction
The SkinnedMeshRenderer component is used for rendering animated/dynamic 3D meshes in the world, and applying materials to that mesh.
Usage
| Fields | ||
|---|---|---|
| Name | Type | Description |
persistent
|
Bool | Determines whether or not this item will be saved to the server. |
UpdateOrder
|
Int | Controls the order in which this component is updated |
Enabled
|
Bool | Controls whether or not this component is enabled |
Mesh
|
Mesh | The mesh to be rendered. Can be a StaticMesh or a Procedural Mesh |
Materials
|
Material | A list of materials to be applied to the mesh |
MaterialPropertyBlocks
|
MaterialPropertyBlock | |
ShadowCastMode
|
ShadowCastMode | How this object will cast shadows onto the world, or if it only draws a shadow. |
SortingOrder
|
Int | |
BoundsComputeMethod
|
SkinnedBounds | How the bounds of this mesh will be calculated. Should be left as Static if possible, for performance reasons. |

Bones
|
Slot | Automatically Assigned — List of bones present in this mesh |
BlendShapeWeights
|
Float | Automatically Assigned — List of blendshapes present in this mesh, and their respective weights. |
Behavior
While it can be used for rendering static meshes, it is not recommended as there is a slight performance penalty for using SkinnedMeshRenderer, even if the animation features aren't used — Please try to use MeshRenderer where possible.
Special Functions
| Custom UI Elements | |
|---|---|
| Name | Description |
| Split into separate meshes by material | Will split this mesh into additional submeshes, each having only one material |
| Merge submeshes with same material | Will merge all submeshes that use the same material |
| Separate parts of mesh unaffected by blendshapes | Any part of the mesh that isn't animated by a Blendshape will be separated into a submesh |
| Strip empty blendshapes | Blendshapes that don't animate any vertices will be removed from the mesh |
| Strip empty bones | Bones that aren't weighted to any vertices will be removed from the mesh |
| Visualize bone bounding boxes | Shows the bounding boxes for all of the bones in this mesh |
| Visualize approximate merged bone sphere bounds | |
| Remove bone bounding box visuals | Hides the bounding boxes for the bones in this mesh. |
