    Hey Guys,

    I'm currently working on a LowPoly RPG and want to create a Character Creator.
    My Goal is to have a Base Character Model (where you can select a Face, Hairstyle, Eartype etc) that is also able to equip a lot of different Armor-Stuff.

    What's the best approach to do that?
    I'd like to get this to work without having all equipment-parts, faces, hairstyles etc in one big FBX where I have to enable/disable the parts.

    My Models are rigged and the equipment is using the same Armature (but are split into different files. Like every armor type, hairstyle etc is has its own fbx).
    How can I "combine" these together into one Character in Unity?

    Sebastian league has an entire playlist on YouTube that will cover what you want to do. Fairly detailed as well.
