Re: Star Wars Outlaws: Character design was the least of this games problems.
It's not a transformation though, is it? She didn't really transform; she just got older and has a broken nose. Most of her facial features are the same as her younger model, just thinner because she's older. There are multiple good reasons for her not to take cosmetic damage in fights. * It means that's more models and… -
Re: Thickness for clothing in "Game Ready" models
Often these will simply get a shader setting to disable backface culling. But it really depends on the usage, some games use explicit hems with some inner triangles if they could be seen by the player. Depends on what other meshes there are to interfere with.
