How It Works - ImLevath/UnityBlendshapeBaker GitHub Wiki

• The tool leverages Unity's SkinnedMeshRenderer.BakeMesh() API.
• When you run the baker:
  1. The script finds the selected GameObject and checks for a SkinnedMeshRenderer.
  2. It reads the current blendshape weights (and bone positions if applicable).
  3. It bakes the mesh, capturing the visible deformation.
  4. The baked mesh is saved as a new asset, and a new GameObject is created.
• The resulting mesh is static:
  • No blendshapes remain—the deformation is "frozen".
  • The new mesh is suitable for prefabs, export, or static use.

Note: The original GameObject and mesh are unaffected.
