I've an Icosphere GameObject:

enter image description here

I want to iterate over each of the faces and change the material based on their distance from the center, however I don't seem to be able to retrieve the list of vertices for the object:

void Start()
{
    // Works
    _planetRenderer = GetComponent<Renderer>();
    _planetRenderer.sharedMaterial = Materials.First(m => m.name == "Sand");

    // Can't retrieve vertices
    MeshFilter gameObjMeshFilter = GetComponent<MeshFilter>();

    Debug.Log($"Center: {transform.position}");
    Debug.Log($"Mesh Count: {gameObjMeshFilter.mesh.vertices.Length}");
}

The vertexCount is returned as 43530, but vertices is an empty array:

    \$\begingroup\$ Is the mesh marked as CPU readable in its import settings? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Nov 23, 2022 at 0:26

    \$\begingroup\$ I'm a bit tied up just now. Can you post your own answer? You've got screenshots of the relevant setting/results more handy than I do. 😉 \$\endgroup\$ Commented Nov 23, 2022 at 12:51

Using OnBecameVisible seems to retrieve the values, I'm not sure if that's what I want in this case though?

void OnBecameVisible()
{
    MeshFilter gameObjMeshFilter = GetComponent<MeshFilter>();

    Debug.Log($"Center: {transform.position}");
    Debug.Log($"Mesh Count: {gameObjMeshFilter.mesh.vertices.Length}");
}
