# Unity Mesh Transfer Tool

**A Unity Editor utility that can transfer skinned mesh renderers from one armature to another.  

This does not automatically weight anything, it just lets you use a mesh on a specified armature instead of only the one it was imported with.**

***Some uses for this tool include:***

- Adding meshes to an existing configured model

- Replacing meshes to update instead of reimporting

- Refreshing every mesh on the model while maintinging original armature

*(And more)*

*(In this case, the Shoes and Skirt are being remapped to match the armature the body is attached to)*

**4. Press the "Remap Bones" Button and that's it! You can delete the old empty armatures from the scene now.** ***Only bones with the SAME NAME will be remapped. Any new bones will added.***

# **Issues/Improvements to Be Done**

- Take default humanoid bone names into account (So even if one is named Shoulder_L and other is LeftShoulder, it will still map)

- Maybe add missing bones to target armature?? (Maybe Possible)
