Static & skeletal meshes

After mesh/LOD reimport, a correct component material does not prove every section uses it. See LOD section mapping and organic-normal repair for the missing-slot failure and a repair that preserves mesh positions and UVs.

Static meshes are rigid geometry rendered via UStaticMeshComponent. Skeletal meshes deform through a bone hierarchy driven by USkeletalMeshComponent. Choosing the right mesh/component type and the right collision, LOD, and instancing strategy drives both visual quality and runtime performance.
