CAN I SET THE NUMBER OF MATERIALS ON A GAME OBJECT? (mesh renderer)

[acriticalstrike]

well folks I've been talking with a programmer who is much more skilled and experienced than I and knows a heck of a lot about unity and he says that using multiple materials on a game object is bad for performance and will increase the draw calls so what I started here may be irrelevant and I may modify my meshes so that they use only one material and I use a shader that might behave in such a way that I achieve the desired visual effects I would like to see without using those extra materials

Hi

For this, you need to inject in your MeshRenderer component the list of materials or sharedMaterials.

 Are you ok with c# and action building? I checked the unity doc and I think it's doable.
