Do you have the same material in the hands?

merry mauve
#

Can you apply the body material to the hands to test that

#

Or apply the hand material to the body

#

Just to see if the problem followed the material or the slot

#

You got subsurface profile maybe that's causing issue?

merry mauve
#

In a realistic game yea

#

Subsurface is not required for a cartoony stylized game

#

I'm not sure you'd even notice

#

Regardless you shouldn't dismiss this just because you want sss

#

Because that would tell you that's the issue

#

How are you going to debug if it you won't verify that's the issue?

#

There are 3 subsurface methods used in unreal, maybe one works and one doesn't?

#

Give it a shot

merry mauve
#

So you're saying it's the materials which is bugging and not the model itself?

#

And the model and normals look fine otherwise?

merry mauve
#

I'm not really able to look at it I'm just saying you need to narrow down what's causing it

merry mauve
#

You never told me if you turn off subsurface profile

#

does it work?

merry mauve
#

why is your character mesh two sided BTW?

merry mauve
#

ah

merry mauve
#

I mean even if you buy an asset you should try to understand the material and what everything is doing
