Declaration

public static void BakeMesh(int meshID, bool convex);

Parameters

meshID The instance ID of the Mesh to bake collision data from.
convex A flag to indicate whether to bake convex geometry or not.

Description

Prepares the Mesh for use with a MeshCollider.

This function runs Mesh baking and saves the result in the Mesh itself. When a MeshCollider referencing this Mesh is instantiated, it reuses the baked data instead of re-baking the Mesh. This is useful when you want to move the expensive baking process from the Scene load time or instantiation time to a different moment in time. BakeMesh is thread-safe, and does computations on the thread it was called from, however it is not valid to call BakeMesh on the same mesh from multiple threads at the same time as that causes undefined behaviour. You can use BakeMesh with the C# job system. Here is an example:

using UnityEngine;

public class MinimalTest : MonoBehaviour { public Mesh mesh;

private MeshCollider collider;

private void OnEnable() { // Bake this Mesh to use later. Physics.BakeMesh(mesh.GetInstanceID(), false); }

public void FixedUpdate() { // If the collider wasn't yet created - create it now. if (collider == null) { // No mesh baking will happen here because the mesh was pre-baked, making instantiation faster. collider = new GameObject().AddComponent<MeshCollider>(); collider.sharedMesh = mesh; } } }

BakeMesh is thread-safe, and does computations on the thread it was called from. You can use BakeMesh with the C# job system. This example shows how to bake meshes across multiple threads so that MeshCollider instantiation takes less time on the main thread.

using Unity.Collections;
using Unity.Jobs;
using UnityEngine;

public struct BakeJob : IJobParallelFor { private NativeArray<int> meshIds;

public BakeJob(NativeArray<int> meshIds) { this.meshIds = meshIds; }

public void Execute(int index) { Physics.BakeMesh(meshIds[index], false); } }

public class JobifiedBaking : MonoBehaviour { public Mesh[] meshes; public int meshesPerJob = 10;

// Bake all the Meshes off of the main thread, and then instantiate on the main thread. private void OnEnable() { // You cannot access GameObjects and Components from other threads directly. // As such, you need to create a native array of instance IDs that BakeMesh will accept. NativeArray<int> meshIds = new NativeArray<int>(meshes.Length, Allocator.TempJob);

for (int i = 0; i < meshes.Length; ++i) { meshIds[i] = meshes[i].GetInstanceID(); }

// This spreads the expensive operation over all cores. var job = new BakeJob(meshIds); job.Schedule(meshIds.Length, meshesPerJob).Complete();

meshIds.Dispose();

// Now instantiate colliders on the main thread. for (int i = 0; i < meshes.Length; ++i) { new GameObject().AddComponent<MeshCollider>().sharedMesh = meshes[i]; } } }
