I hope I can explain myself clear enough:
We are doing a game where a cook cuts veggies that come to him on a conveyor belt in half, as shown in this mockup.

But, as the vegetable and the coopk are two separate Spine assets, the moment the cook cuts the veggie looks like this, one asset in front of the other:

What we would like it to look is like this: one half in front of the cook's arm, the other behind

Of course we thought of some ways, but all get us to create more assets and are a bit complex. So, we would like to know if there's a way to make two Spine assets interact as to make each image take the position we want.
Thanks for your help!
