In some games, and mostly in MMOs you can switch armour parts of your character. I'm wondering how this is done. It's not that i'm creating a MMO or anything. As a designer i'm so curious how they do that. Do they make fully clothed model and when that's finished split the entire model up. So you'd have Head.mesh, Torso.mesh, Arms.mesh and Legs.mesh. So they create a few fully clothed models but with different looks and in game combine those meshes back together? I just don't see how that is done. I mean, you need a base skeleton with all the animation to put it back on, ingame. But wouldn't that create seems between the meshparts? Since they aren't welded together anymore?? Well, what i'm describing probably isn't the way. So i was hoping anyone here could tell me more about this subject. I'm really interested.
