texturing the cloths for game engine, Unreal Engine 5

Question

I am a student MA Games Art and Design, I am working a project where I am trying to design a character, I started with clothes. I have doubt regarding the texturing process for a game ready character for engines like Unreal. Before taking it to substance painter should keep my clothes low poly mesh as single sided plane or should I add a thickness to all the cloth meshes, before unwrapping?

Hi @BridJagtap,

I'm no a character artist, so I could be wrong with this one, but I wouldn't add a thickness to the cloth.

It will be easier to animate or add physic on a single sided plan and you'll avoid overlapping geo issues. That being said, you could start without thickness and if you realize afterwards that you'll need it, your texturing won't be loss as long as the current UVs stay in place.
