About this asset

Mesh Polisher helps you inspect and standardize normal and tangent import settings for model assets.

Inconsistent import settings can cause visible shading differences between models. Checking each model by hand can also take time and can lead to mistakes. Mesh Polisher gives you one clear workflow for small fixes and reviewed batch operations.

Use Quick Fix to process selected models or a model folder. Use Batch Audit to scan multiple models before you make changes. The audit shows the current settings, planned profile, model statistics, warnings, and exact proposed changes.

Built-in shading profiles give you useful starting points for low-poly, hard-surface, organic, and character models. You can also create custom profile assets for your project.

Manual assignment rules can assign profiles by asset path or filename. Rules do not process assets automatically. You apply them to the current batch plan and review the results before you continue.

Mesh Polisher saves the previous importer settings before a successful change. Restore History lets you return affected models to those saved settings.

This tool is useful for artists, technical artists, developers, and teams that manage many model assets. It is suitable for projects of all genres because it works with model import settings and does not depend on a render pipeline.

Mesh Polisher focuses on import settings. It does not edit mesh geometry, topology, UVs, materials, skin weights, or blend shapes.

Diagnostics

Batch Audit can report:

  • Missing normal data
  • Normal count and vertex count differences
  • Zero-length or invalid readable normals
  • Imported normals that a calculated-normal profile will replace
  • Normal and tangent setting combinations that need review
  • Model assets that contain no mesh sub-assets

Settings managed

Mesh Polisher can change these ModelImporter fields:

  • Normal import mode
  • Normal calculation mode
  • Smoothing angle
  • Tangent import or calculation mode

The calculation mode and smoothing angle apply when Unity calculates the normals.

Setup

  1. Import the package.
  2. Select model assets or folders in the Project window.
  3. Open Tools > DOT Tools > Mesh Polisher.
  4. Choose Quick Fix or Batch Audit.
  5. Review and confirm the operation.

You can also right-click a model asset that contains a mesh and select DOT Tools > Mesh Polisher Settings.

Dependencies

  • Unity 2022.3 or newer
  • No external package dependencies
  • No render-pipeline dependency
  • No runtime components

Safety

  • The tool does not modify the source FBX or other source model file.
  • The tool does not use an automatic asset postprocessor.
  • Every operation requires a user action and confirmation.
  • Restore History records managed importer settings before successful changes.
  • The audit warns you before a profile replaces imported custom normals.

Limitations

  • Works with assets imported through Unity's ModelImporter.
  • Does not edit vertices, faces, normals, topology, UVs, or materials directly.
  • Does not repair flipped faces, non-manifold geometry, broken UVs, or poor topology.
  • Detailed normal validation needs readable mesh data.
  • Applying importer changes causes Unity to reimport the affected models.

Compatibility

Unity version Built-in URP HDRP Custom
6000.3.21f1

Editor-only and render-pipeline independent. It works with the Built-in Render Pipeline, URP, and HDRP because it changes ModelImporter settings only. It has no runtime components and adds no player-build dependency. Unity 2022.3 or newer is required.
