Need to set updateWhenOffscreen, but no SkinnedMeshRenderer is present

Questions & Answers

I’m having trouble with inappropriate culling of an animated object. Based on what I’ve heard elsewhere (http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/43916-Can-I-disable-culling and http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/Components/class-SkinnedMeshRenderer.html) the solution to my problem is to set the updateWhenOffscreen flag to true on my Skinned Mesh Renderer. The problem is that I don’t have a SkinnedMeshRenderer on my objects. I imported them skinned, animated, and textured from a Maya FBX, and they have a Mesh Filter and a Mesh Renderer, but no Skinned Mesh Renderers are in sight.

Any idea about how I can get a SkinnedMeshRenderer so I can set this flag?

The Skinned Mesh Renderer is automatically added to imported meshes when the imported mesh is skinned.

If it is not being added and the objects are skinned then it might be an import/export problem.

Check the documentation on how to import objects from maya.
