Changing color of specific gameObject

[oosnuyh86]

Hi, I am a newbie to Unity so please consider my unskilled script. I tried to change color of specific part of gameObject, which is only a part of bone structure. There is a seperate skinned Mesh Renderer, which located under the bone structure, RightUpLeg, and I tried to call the renderer by scripting to change to color of it. I mapped rightLeg variable via inspector, but it still changing the color of whole character. Here is the code and pic:

var mySkinnedMeshRenderer: SkinnedMeshRenderer;
var rightLeg:Transform;
function Start () {

}

function Update () {
rightLeg.renderer.material.color=Color.red;	
//mySkinnedMeshRenderer.renderer.material.color=Color.red;
}

Accessing the Renderer.material to change the color should have resulted in it cloning the material and updating the cloned instance. Not sure what is happening, but that’s what I do in my customization scripts, and it works well. You don’t have an errant script somewhere else setting colors do you?
