Mesh.SetBoneWeights

Parameters

Description

Sets the bone weights for the Mesh.

Supports a variable number of bones per vertex. The bone weights for each vertex must be sorted with the most significant weights first. Zero weights will be ignored.

The weights may be stored with less precision than the floating point values passed in, so do not expect to get the exact same values back using Mesh.GetAllBoneWeights. The minimum precision used is currently 16-bit normalized integers.
