Question by ButtaGrits · Jul 20, 2012 at 05:04 PM · meshcharacterruntimedistorted

Character Mesh gets triangulated and Distorted at runtime

I have been working in Unity3D for about three years. In this time I have never had a problem with a character mesh until now. In about 10 to 20 seconds of run time my character model gets triangulated and distorted.

alt text I used the 3DsMax biped for animation purposes and I don't know if I grouped the hat and belt to the skinned mesh is causing this to happen in unity or what. I have attached a screen shot of what I am talking about. If anybody has ran into this problem before I would like to know some alternative solutions to this problem.

Thanks.

Every mesh, that consists of polygons, is triangulated. Always. Everywhere. No exceptions.

Not sure what distortion you talk about or what causes it, but groups are generally a bad idea, especially when animating. It would be better to attach the objects to the mesh, and/or skin them to the same biped.

Two things you should look for: double faces and defective vertex weights.

That's what I was thinking it might be. I appreciated the feedback. I do however have some more animations to complete with the referee so when I go back to max I will look for double faces and defective vertex weights as well as ungrouping the two accessories attached.

Thank you for the response.

I was kinda thinking of the same thing but wasn't sure. I do however have some animations left to do with the referee so when I go back I will look for double faces and defective vertex weights while doing so.

Thank you for your response in the matter.
