- Description:
- Ica Skinned Mesh is a compute shader-based skinner that focuses on skinning high-quality digital humans. It's a replacement for the built-in 'Skinned Mesh Renderer' component, enabling state-of-the-art skinning techniques used by many AAA games.
When to use:
- Realistic characters for games or cinematic projects
- Character models with a lot of blendshapes (10-500+)
Key features:
- Dual Quaternion Skinning (DQS) with Scale: solves volume loss issue on skinned meshes
- Optimized Blend Shape Processing: improves performance by up to 4x compared to Unity's built-in Skinned Mesh Renderer
- Accurate Normal & Tangent Recompute: fixes inaccurate lighting caused by multiple blend shapes affecting the same vertex
- Runs Editor time: all components work on edit time, with fast play mode options supported
- Attachment Skinner: an alternative way of skinning for meshes that follow a base mesh, reducing computation, VRAM, and disk consumption
Why choose this asset?
- Built for performance: prioritizes use of compute shaders and DOTS on CPU side
- Ongoing support: continuously used and supported by the author
- Non-disruptive integration: does not interfere with other plugins that work on IK, Animation, Shader, etc.
Package includes:
- Ica Skinner System: processes all other Ica Renderers in the scene on every frame
- Ica Skinner: main component and replacement for built-in SMR
- Ica Attachment Skinner: deforms meshes to follow a base Ica Skinner
Requirements:
- Unity 2022 LTS or higher (motion vectors require minimum v6)
- Compute Shader Support
Current caveats:
