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.

Re: Star Wars Outlaws: Character design was the least of this games problems.
pricing aside (because I don't believe it's all that important)Udjani said:A lot of people speculating on Concords faliure being about how the game looks, but maybe there's just too many games. At the same time Concord came out Spectre Divided and Deadlock open beta started (both free). These multiplayer games are also starting to look a lot similar gameplaywise, maybe paid reskined Overwatchs and Counter Strike is not what gamers are looking for
Valorant and Apex are proof that you can enter late and thrive in a segment that's dominated by something else.
However..
You do need to know your audience and if you're going up against Overwatch the correct approach is not pastels and nondescript silhouettes

Re: [Substance Designer][Unreal] SBAR parameters won't carry over [SOLVED]
I got it. I was able to use the parameters by clicking on the INST asset listed in my screenshot. That wasn't how they did it on YouTube and it's probably not what you're supposed to be doing but I'm calling this one solved.
