Draw Order Issue

Hexcake

Hello everbody,

I am facing an issue about draw order and maybe you can help me. From the ss, you can easily understand that the character "darius" is above the "RightHand" and "RightHand" above the "Axe". However the "Axe"'s handle must be above the "darius" cap. If I move the axe above the darius the right hand stays below the axe and it looks weird which makes no sense. If I drag "darius" and makes it as a lowest layer this time right hand looks weird when animating. So, what I want is axe's lower part (handle part) must stays on darius but axe must stays under right hand? How can I do it? Should I divide it to 2 pieces in ps? Thank you ^^

Yes, you can just cut the axe into two pieces but no need to be done in PS.
1.Convert the Axe to mesh

Clone the Axe to get an extra copy
Remove lower part of the mesh from Axe 1 which is suppose to be below the arm.
Remove upper part of the mesh from Axe 2 which is suppose to be above the body and change it's draw order accordingly.

Note that you may want to leave a little overlapping area for the two meshes to prevent 'crack' when transforming / scaling them.
