What technique is recommended for separating a character into it's individual assets, such as arm, leg. Is it just a matter of using Photoshop to slice out the shapes or is there a better method?

The way I prefer to do it is using masks in photoshop and then using a script to export each layer to an individual file. Using masks is a better way of doing it since it's non-destructive compared to cutting out each section to a layer.

You can use this script http://esotericsoftware.com/spine/files ... erName.zip to ease the exporting, just bind it to an action, it will export a PNG for you with the name of the layer.
