Re: What the hell is going on with my roughness texture???
photoshop is probably messing with the colors and assigning a profile that marmoset is picking up.
they keep changing where the options are in photoshop and i've not even opened it for a couple of years so you'll have to refer to the documentation but you need to set it up so that it's not applying stupid color profiles to your images if you're going to work on textures

Re: Maya to Unreal - Vertex Animated Textures Baker Script
@ArthurYoshi If that still isn't working, I'm not sure what might be causing Unreal to not recognise the files. Apologies, I can't be of more help.

Re: Maya to Unreal - Vertex Animated Textures Baker Script
I used Unreal 5.3, but that shouldn't really matter. The issue your facing is most likely that you didn't put the .uasset files in the right place.ArthurYoshi said:Thank you very much for sharing!I'm learning how to use it but the Unreal .uaset files are not being recognized, which version of Unreal were you using 5.3?
Make sure that the downloaded VAT folder is directly in the content folder of your UE project.
https://github.com/hqo998/Maya-Vertex_Animation_Texture-Baker/tree/main - ReadMe
So, the file structure should look like content/VAT/... - Add the VAT folder inside of the content folder in your Unreal Project
If you attempt to move .uasset files into a different file structure instead of moving them in-engine, the references break and annoyingly enough Unreal won't recognise the file in the content browser.

Re: Feeling lost and hopeless out of education as a games artist
Yeah, your characters looks simply ugly and deformed to be brutally honest. That's why you don't get a job. You wouldn't want to play a game with these characters neither, would you?
You picked the hardest part first. That's why you are stuck. Character design is nothing that you start with. You may arrive at it at one point, at the top of the mountain. When you really want to do character design, and not just model from a concept, then eagerly learn anatomy. And learn to draw. That's the mountain that you need to climb first. This is not done in days or months. And it requires lots of time and talent. Which you both may or may not have. Definitely throw out the human concepts. They drag your portfolio down.
When you want to improve in the technical part, then start with hard ops stuff. Make small props, and make them looking good. A car gives you more than enough trouble already, that's too big. Pick easy things. Simple things. Things that can be done in a few hours, to learn the basics, and to improve quickly. A tea pot with proper shading and rendering, a pencil, a ballpoint pen, a glass. And always finish it. And once you can do this stuff to a degree then you can start with organic things.
And learn to work from references and concepts. It's a big misconception that a 3d artist also has to be the one who makes the concepts. Most of the time he does not. Your concepts sucks, since you still struggle with anatomy. And so the result sucks too. Use great references, and you will produce better results.
