Mixer 2021 Deep Dive: Multiple Texture Sets

[@nk361]

What I really love about Quixel is that instead of having a mess of documentation that isn't descriptive and has no examples, they like to make videos that are up to date and that show the process entirely right in front of you. I wish other companies did that too.

[@silver7788]

Even tho videos are a nice and quick way to get a foot in the door they are just that... foot in the door. When im looking for a specific function, key-shortcut, troubleshooting problem I do want text that I can just ctrl+f and find it in seconds. Personally, I remember the days where when I was looking for a solution I was digging through articles, blog posts or redit threads but now rarely when ppl posts those things anywhere but YT so I'm stucked watching four 15 min videos looking for a solution hoping that I'm not wasting my time. Both mediums have their strengths and they should be used accordingly. I dont want 200+ playlist of all modifiers and nodes in software I want documentation and one 30 min overview that will show me what's possible. That would be a golden standard but unfortunately it's costly so not that popular.

[@mikeluna2026]

Yeah, it's good, but I do kind of prefer text tutorials... I can read them as fast as I like, and not be forced to spend 20 minutes watching a video (since I could have read the same information under 1-5 minutes)...

[@nk361]

@@mikeluna2026 I used to prefer that, but the big problem I've had with that is that they forget to update something in it and so it no longer works without you knowing. A video at least shows a version and everything working and you can pick the newest by date, thankfully. Unreal Engine for example has a lot of documentation for things that no longer work and you have no idea how to make them work or what version they used to work in

[@garrytalaroc]

YES! I hate to admit that I hate reading documentaries. I hope other companies will do more youtube tutorials.

[@StylizedStation]

Can't wait to try this out! Amazing work getting this rolled out so quickly - I'm really excited to see where you guys are going to be in the next few years.

[@polymode]

@@SarovPlays Or like marmoset toolbag baker, it gives better control

[@MichalMilkowski]

Makes me wonder why UDIM/texture sets are ahead of baker, higher priority for Unreal team, or is it more difficult to make bakers?

[@nicholasbrown5013]

@@MichalMilkowski good question. I was wondering the same thing, since it’s one of the best reasons to stick with substance painter.

[@alekjwrgnwekfgn]

I definitely won’t upgrade SP next year. There really is no point. (Coz I got marmoset as well- but probably won’t be long before baking is included in Mixer- though Marmoset is seriously good at that)

@@alekjwrgnwekfgn you cant beat designer for trims, yet....

[@Paco3dArt]

First marmoset toolbag 4 has a texturing solution, and now this. Adobe Painter has some real competition now! If you guys add some crazy baking solutions that are comparable to Marmoset toolbag... I do not care if you actually charge a small price! Congrats.

When Quixel Mixer is better at copying Photoshop's UI than Adobe Substance Painter

[@jamesjason8471]

Painter's UI is perfect what are you complaining about? I would say that Mixers UI is a bit too oversimplified for a PC UI, looks more like an IPad UI with a lot of unnecessary pop-up windows.

For those of us that use Cinema4d, how do we export the material IDs? How do we get the baked maps to use in Mixer? Is the implementation of a 3D gizmo on the roadmap for things like applying a sticker for example? That for sure is essier than tweaking numbers or sliders until it is in the right position

[@mortasm1]

yes!!

[@marcapouli7805]

Nice, but the issue is to get correct curvature and AO textures to work with. It seems easy, fast and has good looking in the video, but it is not

[@Youshisu]

I don't know, I tried mixer and it just don't let me paint on some faces xD And its clunky, textures look nice sometimes, but if there is many uv island, it does not look ok everytime.

[@RichardMcWolff]

Hi Josh, not sure if you are still with Quixel but I wanted to ask a question. I'm trying to suss out a paint program that will best fit my needs and what my brain can understand. Quixel mixer was brought up in a video. So I downloaded it and got things set up for my paint project (Eliezer for L'Homme, a 3D figure used in Poser). The thing I can't seem to figure out is how do I tell Quixel that I want to zoom in closer? When I use the mouse scroll wheel the figure just disappears the closer it gets to me so that's not good. Thanks so much!

[@slothsarecool]

Looks awesome, I wish Bridge was more stable. I still get maybe 2 FPS on a 2080 super, and it keeps corrupting UE4 materials (missing master materials or something).

[@almuradyh]

It will be better if it was clone and flating mix so you will maintain a non-destructive workflow

[@deep_breathe]

can it bake normal maps, etc.?

[@julianas.3352]

Its real nice but Bridge and Mixer are really laggy even if I have quite a beefy system.
