Top notch! The texturing looks incredible and great execution on the clothing as well, love all the layers / details

Re: How to approach baking clothes
As kanga mentioned, worry only about the outside of the garments. The inside of a garment (if at all visible) can just be duplicated of the outer, delete what you don't need, and pushed inwards with a push modifier (stacking UVs as well).
The thickness of a garment could also be done post-bake. The edge highlight of the garment thickness could then just be handled with weighted normals rather than trying to come up with a highpoly of a garment with thickness + inners, and relying on baked tangent normals.

Morbid curiosity? It's a real shitshow if you can hear the dogwhistles and know who and where the rhetoric is coming from...Joopson said:I'm exhausted. And I'm not even involved in this thread. Why do I keep reading it?

Re: Star Wars Outlaws: Character design was the least of this games problems.
@Joopson Likewise, likewise 
There's definitely some entertainment value in there thanks to some of the absurdities being thrown around - and not necessarily from the OP ...
On character animations for gameplay sections : I do believe that animations can suffer from tech overload similarly to how current-gen face models can end up being very detailled and techically complex, but quite off-looking at the same time (like with advanced hair tech and fancy anisotropic shaders making every character look like they're wearing a cheap wig).
I've always found the Uncharted games to be a interesting example of character animation tech getting in the way just a bit too much. They have some very advanced systems to drive feet positionning, but the head of the character "teleports" forward instantly when throwing a punch to a point where it looks quite silly ; whereas games from the Metal Gear series manage to focus on tight responsive gameplay, perfectly suspending disbelief *while* allowing their characters to do physically impossible things (like changing stances nearly instantly, as opposed to going through a lengthy realistic transition). Cool stuff.

Re: Designer to UE5 different results
it's the color space
unreal will assume any 16bit per pixel images are stored in linear space and apply a gamma transform.
you can so a few things:
change the source format stuff on the texture asset in unreal,
output the images in linear space
output your color maps in 8bit
i generally do the first one - most people probably go with the third

Re: How The F*#% Do I Model This? - Reply for help with specific shapes - (Post attempt before asking)
ITZSABO said:How do I make the corners sharp without affecting the shading?Note: The shape is curved
You just need more divisions on your cylinder to establish the curvature better:

[CLOSED] Low Poly Santa Head and Hands
Low Poly Head and Hands only. No body.
Head Model: The head should have a rigged mouth with a bone that opens and closed the mouth. No other rigging is needed so please only rig the mouth.
The head needs 5 blend shapes for the eyes.
1. Look Left
2. Look Right
3. Look Up
4. Look Down
5. Blink
The head should use it's own texture.
Hand Models: Separate models for each hand. The hands do not need to be rigged but should be posed naturally. The hands should use the same texture.
Polygon Count: ~1,500 for the head; less than 600 per hand if possible.
Textures: Hand-painted or stylized textures to match the cartoon aesthetic.
Delivery: Provide models in FBX format with proper rigging (for the mouth), blend shapes for eyes and UV-mapped textures for Unity.

These 2 images show similar characters that I already use.
