Soooooo I was wondering how I would make a player character that is split up into different segments (E.G. feet, hands, body, head) and how to animate them?
Would also be useful to know how to smoothly transition between the different animations.

The original Rayman looks like an animation for the character as a whole and when you punch out it spawns the fist as its own object.
There is animation software that does that sort of thing like spine or spriter.
But the idea is simple enough. To animate you just move objects to different positions. You can get away with less key frames by using an ease to blend between frames. And that’s about it. The rest is just creativity.
