Is a secondary mesh for just the arms required for UFPS?

[FoleyX90]

I bought a character from the asset store: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/characters/humanoids/pbr-customized-soldier-111945
but it doesn't come with the arms as a separate mesh (only the head and various bags/packs)
Is it not possible to use this character?

The arms need to be separated to prevent them from clipping with geometry in front of the character. You can use a tool such as FPS Mesh Tool to split out the mesh: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/modeling/fps-mesh-tool-28006

Ah, thanks a bunch for the (very quick) reply! I'll check out this tool, I thought it was just for hitboxing, had no idea it was also for doing this.

One more question if you don't mind, I just used the FPS Mesh tool, it still keeps the whole skeleton instead of just the arm bones. Would I use UFPSDemo anim controller?

That's correct.
