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.
In order for non-skinned Meshes to be rendered, both the Mesh Filter and Mesh Renderer components must be present for legacy reasons.
