Is there any documentation on creating races (I mean creation of the mesh, not in the CS)? Let's say I've got a mesh. For our purposes I'll say it's a box. How would I go about creating a race from it? I know I'll need to split the mesh into the correct format/number of shapes, but I've seen no tutorials/documentation/discussion whatsoever over it. I assume I'll need to do at least 3 things:

1) Split the mesh into the proper shapes, i.e. groin, chest
2) Create/apply the skeleton to it (This is the part I'm most fuzzy about)
3) Apply correct bone weights to the bones.

I'm somewhat aghast at the absolute lack of info on this.
