Help for the abroad users

[dani_evers]

I just can’t succeed to understand what is “mesh” and what is “mesh renderer”. (Google translate to Dutch (my mothertongue) doesn’t make it clearer to me…) Ben is talking about it during the third minute of this lesson, and I can’t get it. Anyone could help…?

Hi Dani,

A mesh holds information relating to the 3D model, the vertices which together create its shape for example.
A mesh renderer is the Unity component which renders the mesh to the scene.

Hope this helps
