Adding to your Puppet tool Mesh
I have an illustrator file with a character with its head disconnected from his body (which is the style I’m looking for) and when I create a mesh using the puppet tool in after effect, it only makes a mesh of the body and the head separate based on the alpha channel. How can I add the head and the body to be one mesh? Also I don’t want to disturb the alpha channel. Here is a picture of what my character looks like.

Pre-compose them in a separate comp, then drop them into a new comp. Add the Puppet pins to the nested pre-comp.
In other words – right now, AE sees them as 2 layers. If you take the comp they are in, and drop it into a new comp, then you get the 2 layers combined into one (the nested comp).
Then whey you apply the puppet tool, the effect sees the pre-comp as only one layer – not two.
