[Fixed] Animated models with more than one rig get skewed in OpenGL-Core mode (in certain cases)

Unity Engine

If any of the rigs or animated meshes in the same file are disabled (or deleted) in Unity (when a file contains more than one), the model distorts in unintended ways.

In my case, it seems to distort towards my character, and seems to mimic the animation (if I walk, the model starts moving, it stops when I stop, etc.). (One of the animated objects is a character, and uses the same bone structure as my character, however I don’t know if this is relevant. This object is not animated yet, and the rig does not affect the other object.)

This occurs when:

  • I disable or delete any object(s), if these objects are rigged

  • I disable or delete any rig(s), if they affect any objects

When I use the -force-opengl argument to launch the game, this does not happen.

Can you provide a demo project for this?

I will try to create one by the end of this week, but I currently have other priorities. I’ll try not to keep you waiting for too long.

The model magically stopped bugging out after I renamed the file, but I’ll try to make it happen again in a new project in the next few days.

I can’t seem to reproduce it in a new project, and I can’t make it happen again in my main project either. I don’t know what caused this, but it seems to be working fine now. I’ll post here if I find out more about this.

Interesting… Apparently setting the “Quality” of the skinned mesh renderer component to “2 Bones” makes the model render normally (both in the editor and in build). Setting it to “Auto”, “1 Bone” or “4 Bones” instantly causes it to distort again.
