So, I have a question: When making 3d models for sale (game/3d

let the market decide. Le invisible hand

I caught a fellow student using stock models in a project he was supposed to have modeled. Upon inspection of suspect models, I discovered the mesh simply used combine. Using seperate poly mesh and display said model in front of student and class, please explain all these unecessary details that is inside these 3 car models hmmmmmmmmmmmm?

No, game objects can be made of many objects

For example think about characters in a game. The character will have a body mesh and objects representing clothing, armour, helmets gloves, weapons etc. These are all seperate meshes in one object

Yeah, but in this case it's obvious that for example armor will be a different object that will be changable. I'm talking about making a one object out of many parts. Like said clock with main body and back lid separately.

For gaming objects should be joined so they share the same UV map area, but you don't have to connect verts. Every single game engine worth using these days can handle floating and interesecting geometry just fine.
