SkinnedMeshRenderer component as seen in the Scene Inspector

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	list of Material	A list of materials to be applied to the mesh
MaterialPropertyBlocks	list of MaterialPropertyBlock
ShadowCastMode	ShadowCastMode	How this object will cast shadows onto the world, or if it only draws a shadow.
MotionVectorMode	MotionVectorMode
SortingOrder	Int
BoundsComputeMethod	SkinnedBounds	How the bounds of this mesh will be calculated. Should be left as Static if possible, for performance reasons.
ProxyBoundsSource	SkinnedMeshRenderer
ExplicitLocalBounds	BoundingBox
Bones	list of Slot	Automatically Assigned — List of bones present in this mesh
BlendShapeWeights	direct SyncFieldList`1<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

Triggers

MergeByMaterial()	null	Will merge all submeshes that use the same material
SeparateOutBlendshapes()	null	Any part of the mesh that isn't animated by a Blendshape will be separated into a submesh
StripEmptyBlendshapes()	null	Blendshapes that don't animate any vertices will be removed from the mesh
StripEmptyBones()	null	Bones that aren't weighted to any vertices will be removed from the mesh
VisualizeBoneBounds()	null	Shows the bounding boxes for all of the bones in this mesh
VisualizeApproximateBoneBounds()	null
ClearBoundsVisuals()	null	Hides the bounding boxes for the bones in this mesh.
