Skinned Mesh Renderer 'BakeMesh' not working correctly.

I want to create a collider for a character.
So I use the bake mesh feature that the skinned mesh renderer has.

Working 100% so far.

Still good.

Silly forum restrictions does not allow me to post necessary visual aids.

And this is where I get confused.

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SkinnedMeshRenderer.BakeMesh.html

I thought a snapshot meant that it would bake a mesh in its current animated state.
But it only bakes it as if it was permanently in the idle animation from the animators blend tree.


Current configuration of the human:


Using 2018.2.0f2


Is this a bug, or is bakemesh intended for something else?

 

    public SkinnedMeshRenderer skinnedMeshRenderer;

    public Mesh bakedMesh;

    public Vector3 colliderRotation = new Vector3(-90, 0, 0); //To combat blender.



    private MeshCollider meshCollider;

    private GameObject colliderContainer;



    private void Start() {

        bakedMesh = new Mesh();

        colliderContainer = new GameObject("Collider Container");

        colliderContainer.transform.SetParent(transform);

        colliderContainer.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(colliderRotation);

        meshCollider = colliderContainer.AddComponent<MeshCollider>();

        meshCollider.sharedMesh = bakedMesh;

    }



    private void FixedUpdate() {

        skinnedMeshRenderer.BakeMesh(bakedMesh);

    }

And the Animator is driven by a state machine behavior. Could this be a problem? I will test with a "normal" script later when I get the time.
edit: I did try a non-SMB script, but it changed nothing.

Dont worry about performance, I plan to use it in smart places later.

 

That worked. I would never have thought of doing that. Thank you.

 

I tried your solution and it worked great in the editor. However in build it throws "[Physics.PhysX] TriangleMesh::loadFromDesc: desc.isValid() failed!" and does nothing.

 

You need to enable the "Read/Write" property of the mesh!
Thank you for pointing out, that it does not work in the build.
