MeshOutput

Note

TesseraMeshOutput is only available in Tessera Pro

You can use TesseraMeshOutput to write directly to a mesh. Your tiles objects must have a MeshFilter and MeshRenderer, unless you check Instantiate Children Only, in which case the children must have a MeshFilter and Mesh Renderer.

Materials

Because Tessera is merging multiple tiles, the resulting mesh will often need multiple materials. There are different options for how to handle this.

• Single - Ignore the materials set on the tiles, and just use the specified material instead
• Unique - Use every material found on any tile.
• UniqueByName - Use every material found on any tile, deduplicating materials if they share the same name.

Colliders

Mesh output has 3 settings for handling colliders:

• None - No colliders are output
• ReuseRenderMesh - A mesh collider is set up, which uses the same mesh as the MeshFilter.
• Merge - The meshes of all the mesh colliders of the tiles are merged together.

Other components

Because mesh output does not create unity game objects for each tile, all other behaviours are lost. You can use the C# API to add them back if needed.

Chunking

By default, mesh output writes to a single MeshFilter on the generator itself. This can get awkward for large generations. By enabling chunking, the tiles will be split into small groups, and a separate MeshFilter/MeshRenderer created for each.
