# Crumpled Meshes & Vertex Soup

## Basic Information

If your generated mesh has unusual noise in the vertex positions, this can be caused by a change in vertex layout in the baked data versus Unity's runtime data. This is mostly caused by Unity adding features to the Mesh Importer in newer versions, or changing their optimization routines which can change vertex layouts.

## Fixing the Issue

This issue can be easily resolved. Simply locate the associated clothing item (the asset often will have the word "Clothing" or "SClothing" in its name). It may be located in a subfolder.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Tip:** You can easily search all clothing by typing`t:clothing`into the search box in your project window.
{% endhint %}

Select the asset, and click the **Import Data from Model** button. This will take about 5-10 seconds to run, then regenerate your character.

After rebuilding your character, it should now show as expected.
