Question by Yashiz · Oct 24, 2017 at 11:59 AM · material editor-scripting playmode combinemeshes submesh

How to know which material is used by a submesh in script ?

Hi,

In Unity 2017.1.2f1, Unity combines static meshes into one big mesh in play mode. I would like to know how to know which material that each submesh uses?

Imagine I have two static mesh game objects, one material for each. In playmode, I can still see these two game objects in the hierarchy, if I use FindObjectsOfType(typeof(MeshRenderer)), I can still get two meshRenders and each of them have one material. However, meshRender.GetComponent().sharedMesh is the same combined mesh with subMehCount as 2. Therefore, it is not clear which subMesh uses which material.

Thanks,

Yashiz
