Sets the index buffer for the sub-mesh.
A sub-mesh represents a list of triangles (or indices with a different MeshTopology) that are rendered using a single Material. When the Mesh is used with a Renderer that has multiple materials, you should ensure that there is one sub-mesh per Material.
SetTriangles and triangles always set the Mesh to be composed of triangle
faces. Use SetIndices to create a Mesh composed of lines or points.
The baseVertex argument can be used to achieve meshes that are larger than 65535 vertices while using 16 bit index buffers,
as long as each sub-mesh fits within its own 65535 vertex area. For example, if the index buffer that is passed to SetIndices
contains indices 10,11,12 and baseVertex is set to 100000, then effectively vertices 100010, 100011 and 100012 will be
used for rendering.
Note that meshes use 16-bit indexFormat by default, i.e. maximum value supported in the index buffer is 65535 (even when using @int[]@ input data). In order to use larger index buffer values, you should first set the indexFormat to IndexFormat.UInt32.

Sets the index buffer of a sub-mesh, using a part of the input array.
This method behaves as if you called SetIndices with an array that is a slice of the whole array, starting at indicesStart index and being of a given indicesLength length. The resulting sub-mesh will have indicesLength amount of vertex indices.
