If you don't projection bake sculpts and mats you obv have to paint in all the shading yourself. If you go for legacy artstyles basically you trade having to learn to sculpt well for having to learn how to paint well as your barrier to entry for replicating the look of the era.

You basically wanna drop shadows and highlights into your texture so it look like a GI bake, basic shadows and highlights as if lit from above (since most light tend to be overhead, sun lamps, streetlights etc). A shading similar to how people paint minature warhammer figurines so you can watch some tutorials on that to get the idea of what to do.

I did do bake from a high poly mesh but i guess i did a piss poor job at it. Should i just make the folds more visible?

anon, when the character walks, the folding on the clothes will change every frame. Have you taken that into consideration?

Of course it fucking will, how am i supposed to simulate that while also having decent performance??! Even newest AAA games dont do this. Stop messing me about

Yeah look at reference material and rework your fold geometry, denim have very geometric crinkles and folds, those are more like a pair of silk slacks that hang softly on his pants.

>>861285
That doesn't matter much, it'll look plenty believable as long as the folds are in the right place.

thanks bro, i dont think i will change this model again but will definitely apply this to my future models.

simulate offline then change the texture each frame. This is your hero character.

Not Op but do anyone know exactly how those systems work? I understand how it mixes textures but how is it set up to fade over to only the limb that currently bends?

Like the horses in Red Dead 2 and their musclemaps for example, how do you trigger normalmap crossfaces for only one musclegroup at the time? Do they have lot's and lot's of maskmaps tied to the articulation of each set of bones?

I don't know for sure, but think about it: a bone is skinned to the mesh and the information is stored on the vertex - so if you could extract the data from the vertex directly you don't need extra maps. You could just program some logic into it and say if this bone rotates more than this angle blend into this normal map and use the bone influence as mask. You could easily create more complex conditions and use bone chains and their influence.

Use photoscanned face texture to make it realistic
>>861279
If you want to add wrinkle then I suggest to make diffuse wrinkle using grunge texture. Don't forget to add ambient occlusion to base color and lighting texture to make it more believeable

Overall this is a pretty good result. You seriously need to rework the head though; right now it looks like a smooth oval with a nose. Anatomy for sculptors is a fantastic resource. Another thing is you should probably reduce the thickness on the shirt, those straps are way too fat.

Unless you're somehow a AAA developer with a dedicated 3D rigging department, just forget about all of that, bake your highpoly cloth detail to a normal map and call it a day.

Game development is all about being practical. If the people playing your game are starting to zoom in on your character's trousers to check if the fabric is deforming realistically, then something went horribly, horribly wrong with your game.

Its 2022 - nobody wants graphics from the 80s anymore. People have 4k, 144hz displays now, whether you want to accept it or not. Your hero character takes up a lot of screen real estate and if he or she moves and the clothing doesn't keep up it looks terrible. No excuses not to learn how to shade properly.

paint wrinkles, more specific grime (tailored to whatever place your horror game is in), really just crack out in substance painter.
redo the paints, actually add some anatomical detail to the body.
if you want face texture literally just take a pic of someone and project it onto the model (could mutilate character creator face scan)
