Description

Model importer lets you modify model import settings from editor scripts.

Settings of this class match the ones exposed in Mesh Import Settings.

Variables

addColliderAdd mesh colliders to imported meshes.
animationCompressionAnimation compression setting.
animationPositionErrorAllowed error of animation position compression.
animationRotationErrorAllowed error of animation rotation compression.
animationScaleErrorAllowed error of animation scale compression.
animationTypeAnimator generation mode.
animationWrapModeThe default wrap mode for the generated animation clips.
bakeIKBake Inverse Kinematics (IK) when importing.
clipAnimationsAnimation clips to split animation into.
defaultClipAnimationsGenerate a list of all default animation clip based on TakeInfo.
extraExposedTransformPathsAnimation optimization setting.
fileScaleFile scale factor (if available) or default one. (Read-only).
generateAnimationsAnimation generation options.
generateSecondaryUVGenerate secondary UV set for lightmapping.
globalScaleGlobal scale factor for importing.
humanDescriptionThe human description that is used to generate an Avatar during the import process.
humanoidOversamplingControls how much oversampling is used when importing humanoid animations for retargeting.
importAnimationImport animation from file.
importBlendShapesControls import of BlendShapes.
importedTakeInfosGenerates the list of all imported take.
importMaterialsImport materials from file.
importNormalsUse normals vectors from file.
importTangentsUse tangent vectors from file.
isBakeIKSupportedIs Bake Inverse Kinematics (IK) supported by this importer.
isFileScaleUsedIs FileScale was used when importing.
isReadableAre mesh vertices and indices accessible from script?
isTangentImportSupportedIs import of tangents supported by this importer.
isUseFileUnitsSupportedIs useFileUnits supported for this asset.
materialNameMaterial naming setting.
materialSearchExisting material search setting.
meshCompressionMesh compression setting.
motionNodeNameThe path of the transform used to generation the motion of the animation.
normalSmoothingAngleSmoothing angle (in degrees) for calculating normals.
optimizeGameObjectsAnimation optimization setting.
optimizeMeshVertex optimization setting.
referencedClipsGenerates the list of all imported Animations.
resampleCurvesIf set to false, the importer will not resample curves when possible. Read more about animation curve resampling.Notes:- Some unsupported FBX features (such as PreRotation or PostRotation on transforms) will override this setting. In these situations, animation curves will still be resampled even if the setting is disabled. For best results, avoid using PreRotation, PostRotation and GetRotationPivot.- This option was introduced in Version 5.3. Prior to this version, Unity's import behaviour was as if this option was always enabled. Therefore enabling the option gives the same behaviour as pre-5.3 animation import.
secondaryUVAngleDistortionThreshold for angle distortion (in degrees) when generating secondary UV.
secondaryUVAreaDistortionThreshold for area distortion when generating secondary UV.
secondaryUVHardAngleHard angle (in degrees) for generating secondary UV.
secondaryUVPackMarginMargin to be left between charts when packing secondary UV.
sourceAvatarImports the HumanDescription from the given Avatar.
swapUVChannelsSwap primary and secondary UV channels when importing.
transformPathsGenerates the list of all imported Transforms.
useFileUnitsDetect file units and import as 1FileUnit=1UnityUnit, otherwise it will import as 1cm=1UnityUnit.
