Details
When importing mesh assets, Unity automatically creates a Skinned Mesh Renderer if the mesh is skinned, or a Mesh Filter along with a Mesh Renderer, if it is not.
To see the Mesh in your sceneA Scene contains the environments and menus of your game. Think of each unique Scene file as a unique level. In each Scene, you place your environments, obstacles, and decorations, essentially designing and building your game in pieces. More info
See in Glossary, add a Mesh Renderer to the GameObjectThe fundamental object in Unity scenes, which can represent characters, props, scenery, cameras, waypoints, and more. A GameObject’s functionality is defined by the Components attached to it. More info
See in Glossary. It should be added automatically, but you will have to manually re-add it if you remove it from your object. If the Mesh Renderer is not present, the Mesh will still exist in your scene (and computer memory) but it will not be drawn.
