[@adventcrown214]

I want to thank you for your message at the end of the video. For quite a while now I've started to have a sort of artist's dilemma when it comes to making environments. As I've been feeling that using premade texture libraries and whatnot to make these environments would be kind of "cheating" or "fake" as an artist. But your take on it at the end really helped. Because in the end, I can have all these fancy textures but if I don't know how they should be layered, how the scene should be composed, or how to light it properly, then they don't really do me any good. And that's where my artistic skills would come in. So thanks again.

[@VickiVampiressYT]

I often feel the same way. Just have to constantly remind yourself that it's all tools! Megascans is no more of a tool than, say, Substance materials. The end result is what matters. Whatever "cheats" you may have used is irrelevant. Good tools make light work!

[@KaFFi3N]

Hi, Quixel Mixer is indeed 100% free during the Beta. The pop up window you may have seen is simply a Quixel account. The Megascans Logo might be confusing and we plan to change that in the future.

can you explain more what trim sheets are and how they're are used? I'm coming from a CAD background and I'm assuming I can just create an extra surface to apply the decal onto....? is that the gist of it?

[@olliveraira6122]

Quixel your tutorials are great but your assets are expensive af, with 40 points a month or what you now give users with your standard plan will barely give you a hand ful of objects to work with, let alone getting some textures for that as well I feel these guides would be more useful if the average person could actually afford them, perhaps you could create another plan for private users that's a little more expensive than your current standard, but that gives you access to all your assets, or perhaps a plan similar to your indie developer plan, but for individual creators? Snälla nån, era marknadsknep känns lite lika EA's lootbox strategi med dessa random textures och objekt man får varje månad, och ert poäng system är typ som ett online kasino, rent seriöst? Vad tror ni att ni har för kunder?

[@reboa.i563]

True. The assets are a bit expensive in my opinion too... I already have to pay for licenses ( AutoCAD and Maya ) and I know a lot of hard work goes into making assets and such, but damn; I would appreciate an alternate plan for private users too.

[@DatFvcker]

exactly that. for an individual artists it is not really an option since you have subscriptions for pretty much all other software, it becomes too costy and not worth it, no matter how great this is.

[@AlexandrosDemetriades67]

Can you be so kind as to share the polygon or vertex count of the wall, floor or any other large surface that uses vertex painting....Thnks

[@keithprice7119]

Why start in Maya and then continue in Unreal? What's the advantage of this instead of working solely in UE4? I'm asking as I'm a beginner and learning the engine at the moment.

[@korcanatalay]

It's just a choice of weapon. I use cinema 4d because I have more control over how to model the basic scene.

[@classichorror8538]

Awesome, do you make simple models for people who don’t know how to make them?

[@seanjbates22]

How did you make the floor uneven?

[@Bosspruductions]

I was about to try this and half way through when I realized how complex it got, I decided to scrap it :/

[@DarkSoul-pb6dv]

are you using rtx because for some reason just the wall on it's own without textures looks high detail correct me if i'm wrong it just looks better detail

[@Amelia_PC]

Yay! Now I just need to buy a $8,000 PC to run this in 60 FPS or the players will have a bad experience (and expect all the players having hot rigs as well) XD But joking aside, I have to warn newcomers who actually are doing a game (if you're creating a portfolio as an artist, ignore this, please). To have a nice looking game, don't forget the performance and optimization, as it has a huge impact in the final visual quality (don't forget the "rest" of the things to add, like AI, enemies, limited dynamic lights, complex blueprint events, etc). Honestly, I wish someone told me it before I started the game. It's a huge difference between developing a game and just "knowing about this" without adding all the elements in the game. About Quixel, their textures are great! I've tested some free samples and they're good. A good option if you don't any of Substance "family" (Designer and Painter). I haven't tried their Mixer or Bridge because I'm working directly on Ue4 blueprint master materials to generate different instances. Hope this info helps.

[@mutiaraf7120]

are those assets free to use for real??

[@dr.edwardrichtofen8980]

I have two questions 1:Why my Materials looks flat like an image when I export them to UE4? anyone know why? 2: When I use plants I cannot see the wind animation,why they don’t move? Thanks☺️

[@whiteoutwolf6131]

1 the materials are most likely only diffuse for some reason.

[@quixeltools]

Hi, "flat" when using our Megascans asset? Make sure you have downloaded and imported the displacement map and also double check if you've enabled displacement. Any object would need tessellation at geometry level (on the model). As an alternative option you have bump offset and parallax occlusion mapping, depending on the end result you are after. ^Jin

For eg - if i export the wall you exported in this video, that wall wouldn't show up in my blender but the texture of the wall will, and then i can give its texture to any mesh.

@@theadnart1 thanks for the explanation , doesn't substance alchemist help and substance source ?

[@theadnart1]

@@slickdude2 I may be biased, but Source's quality is not at the same level of that of Megascans at all. Feel free to download from both and compare, of course. Megascans is also not just about surfaces. There are 3d plants, 3d assets, decals, etc... which is what makes it unique from source and the likes, because they only focus on one thing while we're trying to cover everything you need to create your worlds. This environment is of course a good testimony of that :) Alchemist and Mixer I'd say is what you can argue to be direct competitor, and Mixer's deep integration into Megascans (you can send an asset from Mixer to Bridge to unreal or any other software, all within less than a minute) makes it much more useful if you plan to use Megascans. You can leverage Painter and Designer for instance to texture your hand-made assets or run some batch operations on your Megascans textures and so on.
