Quixel Mixer for Dummies! Complete Beginner's Guide to Quixel Mixer

[@Puckerization]

Great tutorial! You have a good voice and clear diction and a good flow throughout the tutorial. There are not that many tutorials for Mixer out there and you could be one of the pioneers to continue this into a regular course, especially when they release the full-on 3D painting version. I expect that version will be feature-rich with content and techniques for future tutorials.

[@DanielKrafft]

PukkaFactor Thank you very much for your kind words. They mean so much to me as a growing creator! I will definitely continue to follow the development of Quixel Mixer. Future tutorials could definitely be happening on this topic down the line!

Hello. I have a problem with exporting to library button in mixer 2020. It's simply greyed out, and I cannot use it anyhow. I assigned some newly created folder on my hard drive as local library path in mixer and bridge. But it still doesn't seem to get that button working.. how to fix it?

Just curious, do you change any settings to make it high resolution in the viewport? It looks like a 500 or less pixel resolution in my viewport and the settings are at 2K

[@andrewjwhitus]

I'm a bit late to the party, but I'm currently making the transition from substance to mixer, so any future mixer videos for me would be great.

[@oozly9291]

Fool

[@SadTown99]

Substance is WACK and has an unnecessary price tag + cloud subscription… Blender / Mixer / UE5 is the master combo & works seamlessly together

[@oozly9291]

@@SadTown99 $150 is not unreasonable for what it gives you. Mixer is not product ready and lacks many many features to make it ready. Mixel tries to act like substance, designer and alchemist. While giving a lot of variety it doesn’t excel at any of those three.

Thank you! it helped me a lot!

Can I use Luma masks and colored ID maps like in Substance Painter?

[@DanielKrafft]

Hirk DeKnirk Hey, I don’t think that’s available right now. That being said, Quixel is updating Mixer pretty heavily this next year. Currently its main purpose is to supplement Quixel Megascans not replace Substance. They’re going to have to introduce those tools soon though. They’re getting lots of attention

[@MohamedNopy]

this was great .. thank u man

[@DanielKrafft]

Mohamed Nopy Thank you very much!

[@Curious_Skeptic]

Have you used Substance Painter? Is it worth buying over Quixel mixer? Which is easier? Which is more robust?

[@1na_muse]

If I have Epic game account and sing in Mixer then the texter I made can I use in Blender??

[@DanielKrafft]

I suppose you can, but they say you're only "supposed" to use it if the final product is in Unreal.

[@1na_muse]

@@DanielKrafft I did my research and it turns out that you can use it for Blender and they give you even a free addon in the Bridge file. You just need to have Epic account and install the addon enable the live link. 👍 And thanks for the video it was amazing

[@DanielKrafft]

Ke'o 17 Oh awesome! Thanks for watchin mate 👍

[@BambeH]

I suppose that this is a loophole where you're "supposed" to bring work from mixer into blender, to then export it to Unreal. However, you can probably just stop at the blender stage... The legality of this practice is still in question though

[@jayvincenttenedero5900]

Thanks!

[@gameplayarsenal425]

But...so...Mixer is only really really useful when you have the epic games subscription right? Cause aside from that you only have the 50 or so base materials and no decals

[@DanielKrafft]

Well the megascans subscription is free with Unreal fortunately, but yep I've only ever used it for that

Great tutorial but Mixer is not consistent yet, I used the same materials, the same numbers and the results are WAY too different from your results, my results are still nice looking but it feels random, and that's not good. Having said that, IT DOES looks like a very promising tool! A few mores updates will do it!

Free... Until Epic bought out Quixel and now, per their EULA, MegaScan assets are only for use with UE4

[@zwolfelfen]

Wait. I thought that mixer is free to use, as said in their website "forever" for any kind of use, not just UE. The thing that's changed since Epic bought Quixel was that megascans became free to use for UE4 users, but still can be used outside of UE as long as they create a premium account not affiliated with UE.
