Chopped Up Bodyparts
I attempted to make this model with the thought of using it for animation practice in mind. The tutorial I was following modelled their character in a step by step, part by part and easy to follow way where each part (head, arms, torso, legs) was modelled as a separatet mesh so that's what I also did.
At the end of the video, the character that was modelled is fully connected, rigged and animated as like a showcase of the finished character. They never showed how to connect the separate body parts together before rigging or if they even did. My question now is, should I connect the different body parts together? or is it possible to rig the model while its parts are still of separate meshes? and if so, How? I've only recently gotten back to trying to figure this out as trying to figure it all out through googling did not bring any answers. Any help is much appreciated.
