| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * It is not recommended to place a lot of meshes in regions with a lot of movement, like armpits, tighs and so on as glitching (surfaces being visible where they should not) is more common to happen.
| + | |
| − | * Keep disconnected meshes at a minimum, as it will increase the effort to rig the mesh.
| + | |
| − | * Cover body parts that have different proportions (Argonian head, Khajit head, human head) to cut work for unique variants.
| + | |
| − | * Prefer booleans to insert meshes to avoid complex clipping.
| + | |
| − | * The quality assurance of your work must happen with the animations loaded. Expect that you have to go back and iterate on the movement a few times.

| − | * The left thigh of humans moves more than the right.
