Overview :
The Skinned Mesh Combiner is a tool that combines all of your character’s meshes into just one. This greatly reduces the batches generated, bringing great performance gains!
Highlights:
- Can be used in the editor and at runtime. You can also undo merges made in both.
- It has a completely non-destructive workflow.
- Fully compatible with HDRP, URP, and the built-in RP!
- It can generate combined meshes with 64,000 vertices or more.
- Tiled textures and negative UV values are supported.
- Blendshapes compatible; will continue to work after merge.
- It can reduce the batches of your scene by up to 97%.
- By merging the meshes, you can generate an Atlas texture for the best results.
- Can combine the character’s meshes even while he is being animated by the animator.
- It supports the legacy animation system as well.
- The animations and other things remain intact even after merging.
- All materials, shaders, UVs, and meshes are supported.
- Multi-material meshes (meshes that use more than one material) are supported.
- The files generated by the merge can be saved in your project.
- Prefabrication is encouraged.
- You can still add or modify things in your character’s bones (such as swords, weapons, and other objects) even after the merge.
- The material used by the mesh resulting from the merge is defined by you.
- Easily select which meshes you want to combine. You don’t need to modify your scene!
- Great documentation.
- You can manage meshes that have already been combined.
- It has a very complete and well-documented C# API for mesh merging in runtime.
- Merge your character’s accessories too! Convert non-skinned meshes to skinned meshes (Mesh Filter + Mesh Renderers), then combine everything! This is very useful for characters who use accessories made of static mesh (such as swords, hats, glasses, etc.).
- can convert combined mesh to static mesh. You can also undo this whenever you want. This can be very useful in some situations for optimization purposes.
