What the best practice for FPS camera?

Question

Hey, i'm just interesting what the best FPS camera style in godot?
Currently i'm using the way where camera in the "camera_mount":

But it looks weird because i can see my character's head (or body) from inside..
My full Scene tree here:

So my question is about how to make the body (or head) invisible to my camera?
Also what the best way to place arm with gun separately? (asking because what if i need to change my character skin, then i need to change my arm skin too..)

My current scene:

And the view i see when i look a bit down (you can see the character body parts):

upd. Ok just got how to hide character with camera's cull mask.

But how about making arm and gun separately, but that way so i can apply a new skin to them the same way as to the character?
If for example i want to see my weapon on my camera (actually separate object) and i want so other players see my weapon in my arms (the weapon that connected using bone of my character arm), is there will be 2 same weapons?

So i'm just finding the best way to do super basic FPS view.
Please tell me about your experience if you have some.

Answer 1

The arm seen from first person perspective and character seen by other player should be two separate setups.

Answer 2

I was hoping that somehow I could use only one. But anyway.
I have a related question, is that possible to rotate head / body / arms to the aim point?
So for example, if i look to the sky, my body with head will change their rotation value.
Even if i running at the moment, my character legs will play the animation but body and the head will look to the cursor.

Sure. Why wouldn't it be. You can rotate it anyway you wish.

Answer 4

Ok, great, but i would like to know about animations subtleties.
I need to make it as separate animation parts, like for legs, body, hands?
Or what is the best way to make it?
