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. Some components stop their functionality when this field is disabled, but some don't.
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.
ProxyBoundsSource	SkinnedMeshRenderer
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.
