This may not get as much recognition as a building in the matrix demo, but it’s so much more impressive. Thank you so much this is what we’ve needed

[@ErikWerlin]

Now we know why it took so long. They didnt just make tree models they went far above and beyond! Amazing job to the Quixel team!

[@OnMars3D]

Wow, I was just watching old streams about Quixel Megascans and the topic of trees came up. You guys kept smiling saying it's in the work and now they are finally here. Can't wait to get my hands on these!

[@yasaipicles6295]

I was going to be asking them about it again on discord.. heh... guess this answers it.

[@marcfree2855]

I used Quixel too

[@manvendrasingh299]

Are they game optimized?

[@IPpainting]

@@manvendrasingh299 look at the other just released video

[@Allahuma.sali.ala.muhammad.]

@@manvendrasingh299 they are.

[@CinecomCrew]

Wauw! It's truely amazing what you guys have been bringing to the library. Thank you so much!!

[@jakesmith3638]

The fact that there are so many easier ways to model a tree that won't be as realistic, but it is incredible that y'all went the extra mile to provide one of the most important assets in-game. Keep up the great work!

[@jorgenmagnusson6217]

Wow megascans were already crazy now it's something else..

[@BlackIndigenousPosse]

Having been gaming since the early-90s, it used to be difficult to imagine what gaming was going to look like in 1 year, 5 years, 10 years... Now we're being shown the future of the artform all the time, between these insanely detailed assets and things like AI research in computer graphics-procedural character animations and the like. A decade from now it's going to be standard to see near-photo realistic scenes with countless entities and dynamic animations that weren't scripted. Amazing stuff. Work like this is incredible.

[@UnrealSensei]

Amazing! Been looking forward for a while can't wait to see what other trees are released, hopefully tropical and pine trees

[@God0fTime]

Looking forward to seeing you inspect these blueprints

[@themraydesigns]

this is honestly incredible. I was wondering why its taking so long to scan a tree, but they took it to another level

[@KaranParikh91]

The foliage gods have heard our prayers! Thank you, Quixel!

[@RwanLink]

Thank you Quixel for your hard work!

[@CinematicCaptures]

And now we have it all

[@Jay-qs1ef]

Wow, those customization settings are amazing 3:20

[@IMMERSYVstudios]

wow .. guys you honestly reformed the cg industry into a joyful world .. i love you EpiQuiX

[@PhilipZeplinDK]

Just.... wow. One of the few videos in the whole year that made me say that out loud. Just wow wow wow.

[@1man2manynotes]

It would be really helpful to have disclaimers on screen when it’s in-game footage. It’s getting hard to tell real from virtual

[@Dori11111]

so true. reminds of this meditative trees m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIaZoHWMa858gc0 hard to tell the realness? what do you think 🌻

[@ProvVFX]

The first and second clips, I'm not sure if it's real or Unreal (no pun intended lol!). Third aerial clip starting at 13:00 it's got to be Unreal - by the way the grass, or maybe the textures, on the mountains in the distance look. Shot at 17:00 , looks like it's from Unreal by looking at the perfect motion blur, the way the trees cast shadows in the background, the mountains and the tonality of the sky. There's something fake to the eye there, but the foreground looks 95% photo-realistic, to me at least. But if the first and second shots are indeed from UE, this is incredible! It looks like a subtle color graded shot from a drone, and if that's Unreal, then that animation is amazing.

[@sixfo684]

@@ProvVFX these time stamps are off fyi

[@Quazi-moto]

2 things have always been my go-to for telling me just how good the artistry is in video games: Water and trees. Many aspects of water have pretty well been mastered. Now it appears trees have as well. I can't even begin to imagine all the places we'll see the fruits of all this hard work. I just know I very much look forward to enjoying it.

[@ChiakaChima3D]

Holy Shit!, that is Sick. You guys have just given me my first Chirstmas gift. Thanks guys keep it up

[@Gojira_Wins]

The amount of work put into making these trees look like trees is beyond impressive. Thank you for sharing this with the Unreal Community!

[@lasaraz5826]

I was witing for that for along long time 😍 love ittt

[@liquaard2824]

A BIG SHOUTOUT TO QUIXEL TEAM !! THANK YOU - keep it coming

[@Jay-qs1ef]

Yesss, thank you Quixel. The Quixel asset library is getting very diverse, almost anything I search for comes up now.

[@hercules5843]

It's a coincidence that I am collecting free tree assets from internet to make a forest scene. And now I see this! From QUIXEL!! now I don't have to worry about high quality tree assets. Man you guys are just WOW! Love you❤️ QUIXEL + EPIC GAMES

[@michaelvollrath3192]

I've been looking forward to this since it was first announced. I built my own seasonal foliage shader, global wind system and so forth, but tabled it when I heard you all were working on this and I'm so glad I did, this is exactly what I was hoping for! Can't wait to implement into my projects, thank you all for your hard work!

[@JonathanWinbush]

I've requested this for so many years I'm glad to see it's finally here! 🤙🏿💯

[@mattloulou123123]

This is so exciting!!!!! Ive been waiting for this for years! I remember a quixel developer telling me about how they planned on releasing this with ue5. Great work!

[@archichampin]

This is the best Xmas present you could ask for

[@paulcolose9844]

This is spectacular. So glad you incorporated so much in addition to structure. It's such a long-awaited addition. Thank you for your work!

[@sheraptsheringlepchasada]

Wow super beautiful, always had tough time looking for trees to match in many of my projects, this pack of trees looks so pretty and we'll done. It will be of great use in future projects. Thanks to the team behind it for all the hard work and generosity they give to the community.

[@gebackenebananee5743]

I'm so happy I discovered the possibilitys you can have with Unreal Engine!

[@WillFaustCuber]

Super exciting! It's amazing that you guys took a procedural and scientific approach and considered all the steps that lead to a tree looking the way it does, rather than just trying to make it "look right" by taking shortcuts. Great job as always Quixel team!

[@kellanmythen478]

Christmas came early! in all seriousness, I've been waiting years for this moment

[@brianmolele7264]

The intense amount of hours put in this project is mind blowing...Thank you Quixel !

[@benjones5799]

incredible. You guys continue to blow my mind with your assets. Thank you so much.

[@VainSoftGames]

Wow!!! Been wanting Megascan Trees for some time and y'all delivered and took it to the next level +5!

[@VentelHD]

I was waiting for this. Well done guys! It's gonna be such a time saver for everybody.

[@williamfalck4882]

Hands down amazing work, without a doubt one of the most useful assets out there for pretty much all manner of scenes.

[@oArleo]

OUTSTANDING!!! i ve been waiting for this for a LONG time!!!

[@DonEsteban3D]

This have been my DREAM :D!!! Try to optimise this beauty as much as you can pls!! Waiting for norway spruce.

[@midnightpuppy1584]

This is a total game changer Quixel biggest thanks. I'm going to blog about this I think.

[@22kmhigh]

[@garrettbc4234]

So excited for this. Trees have been missing from my project until now :)

[@Verdadesfatosedicas]

thank you, they are really doing a lot of work for our future projects with more realism and quality, my thanks and the whole team

[@chadyonfire7878]

this is blowing my mind finally an actual great solution for trees , gotta thank everyone who's working at Quixel and unreal , and special thx to the scan artists looking forward to use these

[@Kineticartist]

[@user-ik8vy1rg8f]

Wow! This was really needed for the industry. Great demo you guys!

[@houstonhelicoptertours1006]

Yes! Can't wait to see the same 20 assets absolutely everywhere over and over again! **golfclap**

[@fut0n]

It finally happened! Amazing work!

[@K0msur]

Wow. Honestly this is incredible stuff, been waiting for trees for years! I remember when Quixel was this dinky little Photoshop plugin that crashed all the time, you guys have come a long way!

[@reginaldarmah2381]

Crashed all the time took me out 🤣🤣

[@stownsend201]

This is some incredible work, you should all be very proud.

[@RyanshawMe]

Thank You! I have been waiting for this for a long time!

[@ange501048123]

Damn, been waiting for ever , thank you quixel!

[@marshal487]

[@ambient.sanctum]

Amazing! I have been waiting for Megascans to bring out trees. Thank you to the team thate made this possible!

[@bestplanetever6048]

Quixel team are pioneers!

[@owentuson7180]

I’ve been waiting for this! I knew you guys would do this one day, always deliver

[@fusionbim]

This is just brilliant, thanks @Quixel

[@gocurt]

Just amazing, thank you very much for all

[@GankablePlayer]

I love the work you guys are doing. This is how all aspects of game development should be handled. All the way to human behavior and emotion. It takes passionate people like those at Quixel who really care about the details to change the industry and raise the standards. Thank you Quixel!

[@Charles2k]

nice work quixel

[@felipebaul1119]

Awesome, specially the weather and season aspect of it.

[@opti12]

Mate you guys have done it again, what mindblowing work!

[@lz4090]

Speedtree is shaking :D Hope you would also have a standalone app to generate procedural trees. Please go to the Philippines, scan tropical trees (banana, coconut, etc) hehe

[@mrfeathers3938]

Speed tree is a horrible company. They charge $2,000 for trees I could make myself. They look like trash.

[@aizen_3d]

Polyhaven is currently scanning vegetation in the Caribbean if you're interested. Please support their Indiegogo project!

[@danielelebash3781]

Thanks for the awesome Christmas present!!!

[@clfeuillet]

This is amazing!

[@chidi21]

Oh my god! Sick! Incredible work guys!

[@SergentXII]

Awesome, I've been waiting for so long for a in-house/quixel/epic solution for trees ! The 'octahedral impostors' are a great and solid addition, and I wish there was a in-engine solution for any mesh in the future. (As a side option other than Nanite, options are always good). Anyway, great job guys !

[@PedroOliveira-sl6nw]

This is amazing work! Congrats.

[@zorniki]

Absolutely mind blowing! The attention to detail, down to the actual DNA of a tree, is staggering. ❤🔥

[@erfrostami8496]

Wowww! Fantastic! Exactly what I was waiting for, thank you guys for all of your efforts 👌 🤍

[@estate0007]

Finally! The season and the health shaders are awesome! Publishing the black alder as a first asset pack is a wise decision, as you can use it in many different scenarios. My wishlist for the next trees: Scots Pine tree, Birch tree, Oak tree.

[@drinnerd8532]

God bless these guys... Photogrammetry has got to be some of the most tedious work in the 3D field. Thanks for all your incredible efforts, you guys!

[@MMoer]

I imagine however that everything only needs to be done once right? I mean once the vegetation part is finished it's literally finished right? A palm tree will forever be a palm tree. Same for rocks and what not.

[@arashi8876]

UE5, QUIXEL Assets, Mind blowing up up up up.

[@LoganPinney]

ahhhh im freaking out!!! This is amazing!!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@gauravmishra5998]

You guys have finally done it… can’t believe it! Wow !

[@lovely1234561]

Finally.... Thank you Quixel

[@deanbassan]

Dude I needed this! Wow this is amazing

[@zachbaldwin2925]

love this parametric system, can't wait for quixel to do more of it

[@gabrielmoro3d]

WHAT. This looks incredible.

[@Lythunder]

Incredible work and results!

[@philippschmidt2750]

It's looking beautiful, great job!

[@trzarector]

Definitely been waiting for this and its 'free' to use! Insane.

[@mattloulou123123]

Wow. This is literally a dream come true. This is so exciting!

[@theKid87]

Nice work and THANK YOU!

[@romanbruni]

brilliant ! lots of learning... cheers from Rio

[@vinaydangui366]

we wont be able to describe what is real and virtual in coming years and you are making it happen for us.

[@mendalosindiedevrpg8084]

very interesting! looking good
