In this Unity tutorial, you'll learn how to create a flexible character customization system by swapping meshes and materials on Skinned Mesh Renderers. This approach makes it easy to build customizable player characters as well as generate hundreds or even thousands of unique NPCs with random appearances.
We'll create a simple but powerful system that lets you dynamically replace character body parts such as heads, bodies, arms, legs, hats, and capes at runtime using only a small amount of code. You'll also learn how to organize your character assets with Scriptable Objects, making the system easy to extend with new clothing, accessories, and character parts.
This tutorial is suitable for both beginners and experienced Unity developers. By the end, you'll have a solid foundation for creating RPGs, survival games, multiplayer games, city builders, or any project that requires customizable or procedurally generated characters.
