Thought this was a new baking feature introduced in mixer :(

when you said "Thought this was a new baking feature introduced in mixer :(", i felt that.

Mee too

kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqOQlHqgi7Cpfdk try this. It only talks about baking normal map. But you can bake other maps too. You'll see.

[@iesdise]

Very, very simply explained without being annoying, good job! Most of the tutorials which explain on a beginner level feel really annoying, I feel like I'm being talked down, but you guys nail those every time. Amazing job, keep them coming!

[@tyler_puryear]

:D

[@timsonss]

Yeah mate, and even the parts that are super obvious are explained quick enough unlike how others do

[@Spectral-actual]

baking like a virtual chef

[@jackmorton7406]

Thanks for this Tyler, some people may not have been aware of texturing based on Material ID, this is a great introduction to that.

[@tyler_puryear]

It's super handy for sure!

[@douka3993]

We can never get enough of baking videos 😋

[@tyler_puryear]

I love baking and cooking videos too!

[@jlodrawing8769]

He was giggling over random words every 20 second. Love the tutorial btw.

[@Agent4054]

I don't think it's intentional giggling. It's likely a tic in his speech patterns. Ever hear John Carmack talk?

[@johnlogostini4600]

love to see Baking in Mixer in the future

[@DanMcLaughlin]

Great timing, thanks for the video.

[@drewwellington2496]

for the love of god, PLEASE add Mixer functionality to allow Decals to be dragged into place!!!!!! manually adjusting X/Y offset is absolutely infuriating when rotation is involved! other than that, thank you for the best software out there

[@Frank2_]

Thanks! More working with models please!

[@IGarrettI]

Yes we all have Marmoset , this is great /s

[@cedric7751]

they are adding features every month. give them some time and they will have their own baking solution in quixel

[@jackmorton7406]

@@cedric7751 Wouldn't that be incredible? If I could just create a high poly mesh and just import and do all my texture maps in Mixer, that would be extremely powerful. I guess you would still have to retopo outside of Mixer though...

[@THEAETIK]

Thanks for the tutorial. The random giggling was extremely unsettling btw.

[@rynovait]

You can add a layer group for each part of the mesh and apply material ID only once on the layer group.

[@regenbogenfuchs1520]

this is amazing:)

[@Jen-R]

Why not implement baking in the Mixer program itself? The mixer is a great program, but it has very few features.

[@phantomapprentice6749]

@BlackNiboLion Is substance baking really that bad?

[@antareth1058]

@@phantomapprentice6749 Painter's baking results are some of the best along with Marmoset. It's also very intuitive to use.

[@kenziemac130]

2 things: (Toolbag price and correct tangent setup) Yes Toolbag is paid software, but is the best baking software on the market. Everything from normal maps, IDs, to GI lightmaps. Easily worth the one time payment investment! Would be nice to have simple baking in Mixer though. Make sure to use the right tangent space. Most software uses MikkTSpace. I set this as the default in Toolbag in the preferences.

[@JohnSmith-rn3vl]

1) Is there a good resource anywhere for the Quixel shortcut keys? 2) I would love to see a short example tutorial of the best ways to add assets to the bridge library using an external 3d software (blender for me) + quixel bridge + mixer that can then be easily exported to Unreal. I have a working pipeline set up but I wonder if there is not a faster method or some tricks and tips I might be missing out on. Pretty please with sugar on top.

[@playonce4186]

I think quixel will buy marmorsetstudio toolbag cause it has one of the best baking features you can have!

[@theparabox]

Come on, you can't suggest a paid software as part of a texturing workflow for a free software. Mixer needs a baker!

[@MaciejPloch-s4v]

why quixel mixer doesn't have a texture baking function

[@the_Jollyface]

Do you plan to scan human skin? Human texturing is basically the last thing I feel is missing

[@jackmorton7406]

That would be awesome, I've been hoping for this too.

[@spaceman-pe5je]

texturing human skin is much different from being able to just have an ordinary smart material, though

[@jackmorton7406]

@@spaceman-pe5je for sure, it's super complicated. You can't deny it would be really cool though.

[@snehilmallick4680]

i used decals in my project but it just goes transparent behind shadows what should i do to fix that my version in UE 4.25

[@Devamac]

Wow

[@UnrealArtist]

Great tutorial :) I baked the stool, now how to eat it? o.O

[@iceamerica7977]

This is perfect at 1.5x speed

[@Yousef_Alshammari]

Okay after doing the material and you are finished your custom mesh, how can i exported to bridge? when i'm done i go to file then export to library, but the problem is the export to library button is dull color and i can't click it !!!, Anyone knows the problem PLESE help me.

[@divinlydiable3523]

Is maya better or mixer

[@muralivijay1101]

why mixer doesn't have baking option?

[@talhazulqarnain4427]

Hey, I have asked this earlier as well and now asking again since I never got a clear response. Is it possible to make pbr materials from images with stock bitmaps or images ?? In quixel mixer ??

[@simulify8726]

Can we get a tutorial on making complex landscape shaders in UE4 based on slope and height of the terrain?

[@niccolotemperanza1780]

Yes please! @Quixel look at this!!!

[@jackmorton7406]

There are lots of tutorials on this if you search for "UE4 landscape auto material".

[@dominiklackner6334]

check out the brushify landscape material by joe Garth. he also explains in one of the tutorials how to implement MS Textures. very easy.

[@NiculaeAntonio]

Please fix the displacement bug....

[@joey848]

Having a strange issue. If my high poly mesh has a sub-d applied, I get a very incomplete normal map, but all the other maps look fine. If I don't have a sub-d applied (in effect making both meshes low poly) I get a complete normal map, but it and the other 3 maps all have weird wavy artifacts throughout. Wish I could include an example. Any ideas what's going wrong? I'm brand new to this.

[@JoeMayk3D]

might sound like a stupid question but I'm working in c4d, Mixer & Marmoset. I cant seem to get the object to randomise the colour map upon importing as shown here, is there something I'm missing? I can create materials within marmoset and manually assign in the scene but this is pretty tedious and I'm sure im doing something wrong here, thanks!

[@AlesonTalis]

I can't paid for Marmoset. Please teach with Blender!

[@AlesonTalis]

@@jackmorton7406 yes I know, but and OC, Displacement?

[@jackmorton7406]

@@AlesonTalis What do you mean by OC? Do you mean ambient occlusion? Blender can do that by default, too. Try the displacement tutorial by Default Cube, that might have what you're looking for. It probably won't work very well for closed models, but that is not advised in games, and in animation you should be able to use a higher poly mesh anyway.

[@AlesonTalis]

@@jackmorton7406 I not speak english and some time I mess up with words. but yeah, ambient occlusion. I'll try it. thanks a lot

[@PixelThief69]

They use child labor for their tutorials.

[@RedNewQualityStandardscode]

Stop giggling!

[@deuswulf6193]

We shouldn't have to bake in Marmoset, just add this to Mixer along with the other features missing from NDO/DDO and we are all good to go.

[@planetarta]

Absolutely great tutorial but the unecessary laughing over every other sentence was really annoying.

Hi, you server is very low, i want dowload quixel mixer, but it tells me that the download time is 50 hours, wtf? actually velocity of dowload is 41kb T_T EDIT: now low a 37 e_e

[@emmanuelhenne]

A little too enthousiastic for such a boring subject, he talks like was telling about cave diving on the Fidjis.

[@eidolonish]

Typical Quixel garbage! Step 1 : Use a different software (Marmoset toolbag). Step 2 : Never go near any Quixel product ever again. Marmoset toolbag is everything the Quixel suite in not. It is useful, richly functional, great looking, easy to use and effective. Also, it is not a subscription trap. You but it you use it.
