I'm trying to animate a figure to jump and the animation runs fine when I play it in timeline but when I render image/animation, it also shows the initial T-pose figure that I started with: in render image what i found is that in the edit mode the shape of the figure is still in the initial t-pose and the armature seems disconnected from the object

in edit mode: in edit mode whereas in the object mode the armature and body are connected and not in t-pose

in object mode: in object mode

is it because I had not applied the armature modifier before making the animation?

    When you hop into Edit mode then the mesh is automatically put in rest position. That's the reason why it looks different in Object mode (pose position) and Edit mode (=rest position). You can switch the position in the Object Data Properties of the armature ("green running man" icon) – Blunder Apr 12 '21 at 14:10

It is because you have a duplicate of your object in you scene. The one named tpose_human_body. I see you have it hidden but blender still renders it. If you want it to not be rendered move it into a new collection and disable the collection from the view layer by unchecking the tickbox near it.

There was a simpler way to disable render for objects before but it has changed and I don't know how to do it in 2.8.

EDIT

In 2.7's Outliner, after each Object's name there was the Restriction Toggles button :

The right most button (the one that looks like a camera) is the one used for disabling/enabling an object for render.

In 2.8+, one might think that those buttons were gone but they are just hidden. In the Outliner's header, there is a Filter dropdown :

If you click on this you will see a section called Restriction Toggles :

enter image description here

You'll find the one that you're looking for there : enter image description here

If you enable it, you should see it in the Outliner now :

Clicking on it will toggle between visible and invisible in renders.

  • Your suspicion is correct there was an extra object in my collection that I had hidden which was standing in t-pose though it is not the tpose_human_body object which is another plane as image that I imported which also shows in the render if in the camera's area even when hidden. thanks! – Manik Apr 12 '21 at 17:58
