SkinnedMeshRenderer

The SkinnedMeshRenderer component is mainly used for rendering skinned model meshes.

After Import Model Assets, the SkinnedMeshRenderer component will be automatically added to the model nodes when the model is used if the model mesh has skinning information.

Properties

Properties	Description
Materials	Mesh assets allow multiple materials, all of which are in the materials array. If the mesh asset has more than one sub-mesh, then the Mesh Renderer will get the corresponding material from the materials array to render this sub-mesh.
LightmapSettings	For baking Lightmap, please refer to Lightmap for details
ShadowCastingMode	Specify whether the current model will cast shadows, you need to Enable Shadow Effect in the scene first
ReceiveShadow	Specify whether the current model will receive and display shadow effects generated by other objects, you need to Enable Shadow Effect in the scene first. This property only takes effect when the shadow type is ShadowMap.
Mesh	Specify the mesh asset used for rendering, Mesh Assets in the mesh renderer component section.
Skeleton	The skeletal data of the current model, usually directly from the imported glTF or FBX model file
SkinningRoot	Reference to the skeleton root node, corresponding to the node that controls the animation component of the model

Please refer to SkinnedMeshRenderer API for API reference.

The difference between SkinnedMeshRenderer component and MeshRenderer component are as follows:

• The MeshRenderer component renders a static model, consisting of 3D model data
• The SkinnedMeshRenderer component renders not only the model but also the bones, so in addition to the 3D model data, it also includes data such as bone data and vertex weights.
  However, if there is no skeleton data mounted on the SkinnedMeshRenderer, it is no different from a normal MeshRenderer component.
