[@visualpoetry3d]

Yes, please! Especially how you can bring Mixer materials into Unreal Engine and set up the material there. This has not been covered much on KZbin. There are tons of tutorials on how to bring Megascans from Bridge to UE but not how to export custom assets from Mixer directly

[@MR3DDev]

@@visualpoetry3d That's a good idea, thanks

[@GaryParkin]

*Raises Hand* Yes, please! Yes, please! I just got the program and I'm amazed on what it can do. Thanks for adding to Ben's tutorial that I'm following.

[@dylanwainwright8644]

Yes please! I've been working On a Blender to Mixer to Unreal workflow and Mixer is a point of weakness for me. Any tips would help. Great tutorials btw.

[@nguyenphucnam7175]

Landscape gaea + quixel mixer please 😢

[@meilin_]

wow thank you for your sharing! I LOVE how you guys provide different solutions and it's kinda like helping each other to make tutorials better! As a begginner I can't imagine how difficult it would be for me to learn without these helpful videos, save my life!!!

[@zaidsayyed5927]

I was following ben Cloward until I ran into this tiling Problem. I don't know much about substance painter so i decided to find some other way of doing . searched for 'how to tile texture in mixer and your video showed up and it turs out you were following him as well. Thank You For Helping Me. You're a Gem

[@rosswilliams18]

funny enough I was looking at that today :P thanks for the quick to the point and easily instructed tutorial :)

[@MR3DDev]

I am glad it helped, thanks for watching :)

[@laihinchun]

I seriously think you tutorials are better than the Learn Squared one, a lot less rambling and get straight to the point. Keep it up buddy!

[@MR3DDev]

Thanks

[@emmanuelrenquin2567]

Quick tip, for those not familiar with Quixel and landed here from Ben Cloward tutorial: you can process the other textures by right-clicking the layers and select "Replace maps". Just remember to save the mix to another name before hand.

[@lee_lee5307]

Brand new to Quixel Mixer and tried this method to process other textures. It seems when I replace maps it is saving the albedo color info. For example, going from a grassy texture to a stone texture the color sample dot next to albedo options (on the right hand side) remains green and influences that green color on the stone texture. Any recommendations?

[@emmanuelrenquin2567]

@@lee_lee5307 I noticed that later on and had to rework all the textures :/. So what I did is load the texture in a new layer, copy the albedo hex code from there and paste it in the "untiling" layer. Then you can delete the layer you loaded as it is only meant to get the correct color code.

Thank you! Great video

its great method, thank you.

Good stuff

Good job mate.

[@Unknowable_Void]

Hey awesome vid man! does this Mixer tilling fix also carry over if we use several materials in a Megascans landscape layer blend?

[@MR3DDev]

It depends on how the blending is done, if you follow Ben Cloward's method you should be fine

[@Unknowable_Void]

@@MR3DDev thanks dude, his stuff is excellent. In the end I opted to use a static mesh as landscape object and painted it using vertex blend Material

[@samuelkilik8233]

NICEEEE

[@ethanwasme4307]

I think blend type should be opacity masked, if not you start to loose too much depth. not sure how to blend the mask based on height around the 0.1-0.9 values. Adding a nose near the top of the stack and using 4x4 or 2x2m surfaces helps a lot too

[@ethanwasme4307]

and download the source files from mixer rather than bridge... because of .exr download support:P

[@lmbits1047]

Thanks for sharing this method. I wonder if you dig into having that cavity map in the equation as it seems downloading the material from Quixel doesn't add it and I have no clue how to add it manually.

[@MR3DDev]

It can be added various different ways but thanks for the suggestion, I'll see if I can include that in a future tutorial

[@grigorescustelian6012]

You just have to multiply it over the albedo. Make a custom material.

[@user-hh6uc3gg9t]

thx a lot!

[@MR3DDev]

thanks for watching

[@funkenspieller]

Спасибо!

[@RCsFinest]

How do you apply those parameters to the other textures?

[@Teddy_yb]

What's up, new to Unreal and Quixel Bridge. Is there a way to tile a material in Unreal Engine 4 without having to do so in bridge? Trying to blend two materials together and it's just one repetition of the texture which is super zoomed in.

[@grigorescustelian6012]

So we basically make a soup, lose all the details, and get a bigger pattern.

[@LikeaBossk627]

How do I export with the CR and NOH maps? There's no option to export the cavity map. Is there a workaround?

[@m.sevcik]

I just duplicated the AO layer and played with Curves, to create a similar effect as if Cavity was there. Not sure if it's okay to do like that but worked for me so far :)

[@hammertl2673]

Hi, how to deal with cavity map in mixer? I can't find it.

[@wahnlos6758]

hello, you write about the cavity map "It can be added various different ways but thanks for the suggestion, I'll see if I can include that in a future tutorial " could you please say how to do that exactly? the forum says you can't save a cavity map when exporting. it's supposed to come as a feature but it's been in a threat in the forum for 2 years.

[@m.sevcik]

I just took the AO and played with curves so that when multiplying it has a similar effect if you were to use cavity. Hope the proper way will come out soon :)

[@wahnlos6758]

@@m.sevcik i am now using substance designer. at the moment this video is relatively useless. anyway thank you for the suggestion!

[@siddharthnair4414]

Is there any way to save this settings as a preset so you don't have to do this whole process for every other material ?

[@MR3DDev]

You could make it a master material, that way you can reuse it and migrate it to other projects

[@amigoface]

cool

[@MR3DDev]

thanks

comment to feed algo

[@jurandfantom]

but for all seriousness, I recently try make tileable material from photogrammetry. I try Painter, Mixer and Alchemist. I wasn't able to do anything in mixer - my surface had height change at 3mm level. For rocks, looks perfect, but for such flat surfaces I had weird problem that even slider wasn't able to fix. IF would be possible, I can send you pbr material pack (colormap, normal and height) to check it and made video if you consider that as good material. Like said, alchemist works great yet I would like to use Mixer as free tool - we love free tools :)

[@MR3DDev]

@@jurandfantom Hey thanks a lot. Regarding your question I think there is a video out there that touch on what you are saying. Here you, let me know if it helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/raSufHajmt-pq6s

[@jurandfantom]

@@MR3DDev yes, that is exactly video that look as help. Sadly like I said, their flow is fine for structures with nice height difference, no for something like pumpkin peal. Let me show you.i.imgur.com/cylzGVZ.jpeg of course by turning off height map its not a problem, but H map is essential here. By change material layer threshold its slightly possible, yet after a certain point, obviously both layers interact each other. Thanks for suggestion and time to answer :)

You did not show the tilled result

What do you mean? I tiled the texture 8 times

you can press t in mixer to get a 3*3 tiled preview

Hey all, just a plug in: Now we can get rid of all of these tiling issues by simply using a material function. See: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqC9qJ2NqNd8ipY
