Unity - How to tell which objects in scene are creating the most triangles?

Question

I have been working on a game and every time a player prefab is instantiated, it creates 1M+ triangles. That is a nightmare considering the model itself is not even close to 1M. The only thing on the player prefab is the soldier model and some objects for holding the weapons. Nothing more then the model. How can I see which objects in the scene are utilizing the most triangle count? I need to get to the bottom of this.

Answer 1

Get every child game object in the scene, Do GetComponents for each, go over all the MeshFilters and count Mesh.triangles.

foreach( GameObject g in UnityEngine.SceneManagement.SceneManager.GetActiveScene().GetRootGameObjects())
{
    int triangleCount = 0;
    foreach(MeshFilter m in getComponentsInChildren(typeof(MeshFilter)))
    {
        triangleCount += m.mesh.triangles;
    }
    Debug.Log(g.name + " has " + triangleCount.ToString() + " triangles");
}
