public int vertexAttributeCount;

Description

Returns the number of vertex attributes that the mesh has. (Read Only)

This property returns the number of active vertex attributes (see VertexAttributeDescriptor). Together with GetVertexAttribute it can be used to query information about vertex attributes that are present in the mesh, without needing any managed allocations.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering;

public class ExampleScript : MonoBehaviour { void Start() { // Create a Mesh with custom vertex data layout var mesh = new Mesh(); mesh.SetVertexBufferParams(10, new VertexAttributeDescriptor(VertexAttribute.Position, VertexAttributeFormat.Float32, 3), new VertexAttributeDescriptor(VertexAttribute.Normal, VertexAttributeFormat.Float32, 3), new VertexAttributeDescriptor(VertexAttribute.Color, VertexAttributeFormat.UNorm8, 4));

// Prints 3 (three attributes) Debug.Log($"Vertex stream count: {mesh.vertexAttributeCount}");

// Cleanup Object.DestroyImmediate(mesh); } }
