I am able to create an animation sequence and export 8 frames for walking as a sprite sheet.

I want to export the player model without a weapon (which I have done)

I want to export the weapons separately to keep the file size small.

When the weapon is facing the camera I need the players hand to be cut out through it otherwise it would look strange floating next to the hand.

Using Unreal Engine 5.4 and Movie Render Queue for export

I tried setting the player model to black, but that hasn’t helped, making the player model transparent didn’t work, looking for any help.

I tried creating 2 instances of the player object, one holding the weapon with the player model invisible,
The other had the weapon invisible and the texture turned to black.

I have also tried to remove the black player model with photoshop, but leaves too many artifacts.
