so what do I need to watch out for when combining meshes? take pic related as example
In this case everything in the Costume collection I'd like to combine (except Outer which I want toggleable), it's just clothes and 2 accessories.
the body and face is what usually gives me trouble in deciding. Body is the face, Body2 is the rest of the body. I've been warned about combining the face with the rest of the body as I could fuck up some visemes if editing the body, which I was planning to do. I'd leave the ears separated to make them controllable too.
what about the hair and the tail?
figuring out which materials are safe to atlas and which aren't is kinda frustrating as well. For example, Hair, Ears and Tail all share one same texture (and material settings), so not sure what actually happens when combining materials
