Do SpecialMeshes have a builtin RenderFidelity property like MeshParts have, and if so, what is it?

I’m working on a game, and it uses meshes pretty heavily. We know MeshParts have a RenderFidelity property, but do SpecialMeshes render like the Performance RenderFidelity too, or are thet Automatic/Precise?

For a game with a lot of meshes that don’t need collisions (and are Anchored), would it be better to have a bunch of:

  1. MeshParts (CanTouch/CanCollide off, Box CollisionFidelity and a RenderFidelity of Performance)
  2. Parts with a SpecialMesh Inside (CanTouch/CanCollide off)

Definitely use MeshParts. SpecialMeshes are not as performance-friendly and there’s very little benefit to using them except for very specific uses, such as incredibly large scaling.

MeshParts are more performant when adding tiny details to. Like small rocks, plants, props & things like that.

On the other hand, SpecialMeshes are more performant when using HUGE meshes, like an entire mountain, or a house which is just a mesh.

Answering this question:

They are set to Precise, & their CollisionFidelity is set to Box.
