    Hello. I have 3D model with animations and skinned mesh renderer. This model has no hierarhy with bones, so I can't place any sword as child for hand bone. Is any way to attach objects to hand in this or simillar cases?

    There should be an option to expose the bones; did you turned on the Optimize Game Object? If so, you can select which bone to expose, or just turn it off to expose all the bones. (See Model Settings > Rig Tab)

    Ok, Thank you. That's a good idea, now I see bones. But what if the object which I want to bind has Mesh Skin Renderer instead Mesh Renderer and set perent for it haven't result. How I can change transform position and rotation relative to parent bone for this?

    Every bone is a GameObject/Transform, and is updated every frame with played Animation, so if you set your sword as a child of the hand bone's transform, it will start follow the movement of the model's hand.
