I think you should ask for help some big 3D FPS (first person shooter) game maker company (you can find them on the net..). They can help you to give solutions (e.g. 3D game software motor responsible for building complete body to stick figure and chop it for parts as well, or giving a deeper knowledge to do this).
May I refer to Quake III Arena? If you know this game you observed what did I talking about. You have to see it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quake_III_Arena
I think your mean is something like 3D stick figure?!! I know how to do that in a 3D space, I did that for my master degree. However, I will contact to the FPS game maker company. I am so grateful for your help.
