Documentation

📦Features📦

The full feature list can be found here.

Here is a summary,

✅ Mesh Preview:

Get an interactive preview of the mesh directly in the inspector.

Check wireframe, UV Checker, UV Layouts, Vertex Color, Normals, and Tangents.

✅ More insights about the mesh at a glance:

Get vertex, triangles, edge, tangent, and face count now in the inspector.

Also, get the total memory usage of a mesh at runtime, including all associated resources. It is useful for profiling and optimization, as it gives the actual runtime memory footprint, which might differ from the raw size of the data.

✅ Debug Gizmos:

Use gizmos to visualize normals, tangents, and UV Seams to easily debug problems with the mesh.

Use a checkboard texture to easily reveal any distortion, stretching, overlapping, or seams in your UV layout with a single click.

✅ Real-World Size:

See the actual base mesh size from the inspector in the selected unit.

Easily add/remove a unit of your choice from project settings.

✅ Quick Actions:

A few quick action buttons to play around the mesh, like flipping normals and exporting the mesh.

✅ Modern and minimalistic inspector:

The asset provides a more user-friendly and intuitive representation of properties in the inspector.

If you ever feel like too much information is cluttering everything, easily hide what you don't need. Everything is customizable and possible to toggle on/off.

✅ Built with UI Toolkit:

The inspector has been built with UI Toolkit for the best performance.

✅ Full source code is provided with the asset.

Release Notes

v2.3.0a (Only for Unity 6.3 URP)

• Updated Skinned Mesh Renderer Editor.

v2.3.0

• Added a menu item to check all existing editors for Mesh Filters and Skinned Mesh Renderers in the project.
• Unity added an override to the Skinned Mesh Renderer Editor for URP in Unity 6.3, and it caused the Better Skinned Mesh Renderer Editor to stop working. Added a way to override that and kept the updated editor for URP so that no new feature by Unity gets missed by mistake. Reminder that by default, the SkinnedPreview Mesh Renderer draws the Preview at the top, then the default Editor by Unity, unchanged, and then the custom foldouts.

[Thank you again, Florin, aka floky, for your help.]

• Fixed a bug with the mesh memory usage's string value returning wrong information for a certain type of mesh.
