If you use Skinned Mesh Renderers you could probably combine them for extra rendering efficiency. Give your GPU a break by optimizing its workload!
Roughly speaking for each mesh and each material Unity has to send 1 draw call to the GPU to be rendered. With SkinnedMesh Combiner, you could turn a model with 16 meshes, 1 material each (16 * 16 = 256 Draw calls!) down into a single mesh and a single material, resulting in only 2 draw calls!
This optimization gives you the performance freedom to fit more characters, obects, and fun into your games!
Notes
- ALL meshes and textures involved in combining MUST have Read/Write enabled
- ALL textures for each mesh must share the same uniform dimensions or they will be ignored
- Only a single blendshape (shape key) frame (0-1) is supported
- This tool is intended to be used to combine SMRs or SMRs with MRs. Unity provides a built-in method for combining regular meshes (no skinning, boneweights or blendshapes) which is Mesh.CombineMeshes(), so if that's what you need I recommend using that instead.
