I've been going through them and they are all awesome, plenty of formats and even 3 levels of detail. I am still learning to make things, but one thing I know for sure I suck at is making 3D models for assets. With these I can focus on making the game so thank you

[@mitchreaser1230]

Thanks for the heads up! Kinda weird that when you claim them, if you search in your library they dont come up, its only if you search from the quixel profile. It is early so maybe they just need to sort out some kinks, but cant say that doesn't make me a bit paranoid that Epic might turn around and do a huge middle finger that 'if you didnt download them, you dont own them' kind of thing. Although if they did that I'm sure there'd be a huge uproar. EDIT: And looking back at the video now, its weird that on the catalogue page it says the trees that were in quixel before are 'owned' but none of the other ones you just claimed are owned, only until you click on it. Again, could be just sorting out the kinks of a whole new online marketplace eco system, but still 😬 Real curious to see how fab develops, but also a bit nervous how this will turn out at the end of the year 😬😬😬😬

I've claimed the items, and it shows 'Megascans claimed,' but when I click on an item, it still says 'Download' or 'Add to Library.'

I'm staring at the "Medieval Banquet" pack in disbelief as to how much worse importing a pack into UE5 is now... It only offers a zip of .FBX for packs with more than one thing and it's just bare files. No materials set up anymore. No texture packing. Just like a hundred food items that are all white... This really sucks. Note that single object packs let you download as .GLTF or .GLB that do still import with materials and texture packing.

If you read the licence i think it's free only until the end of the year after you will have to pay for them.

[@OkerlundTV]

Thank you! I really hope when the plugin comes it will make it easier for us Linux users to download assets we have purchased. Always thought it was silly that they support Linux with Unreal Engine, but not the launcher. But the plugin could solve that problem, hopefully.

[@SmartPoly]

I think the plugin will be built into the engine, so it should just work out of the box

[@Короткоіясно-ь8р]

Launcher works pretty well in wine.

[@OkerlundTV]

@@Короткоіясно-ь8р I did get the Launcher working with Wine, but were you able to install Unreal Engine through it? I kept getting errors and found no workarounds. And I couldn't connect it to any projects to add assets.

[@SergentXII]

So just to be sure, do I have just to 'Claim' right now and I own them forever (can go back and still get access to that 'owned' library), or do I really need to download each of them just in case because something might change later on (even if I claimed them before the changes) ? I'm asking because I'm running out of space currently, wondering if I rush out to buy a SSD (or maybe a 8TB HDD to be safe) 😂

[@SmartPoly]

Just claim them right now with one click. No need to download because you'll own them forever.

Officially unable to download any material/ asset from Quixel bridge. Has the plugin become useless then?

[@RadIguanas]

Exactly. There were Quixel Bridge Megascans and then there was Megascans on the Unreal Marketplace. NOT ALL were the same! For example, trees were only accessible on the Marketplace. I don't see many collections from the Unreal Marketplace

[@Alkali82]

Thank you for this awesome information.

[@InsomniaCloud]

I'm a bit confused, I claimed it and if i go to one of the assets it still has the "add to my libary" and the "Download" Buttons. Does that mean it didn't work? I still see the "You own this Item" on top.

[@IRDazza]

You NEED to go to the asset you want and add to your library, one by one. Its free access to assets till end of year and items you have "purchased" or added to your library remain yours, but after EOY then the unclaimed or linked items may not be free!? There was a script out to add all items from old site but that no longer seems to work.

[@jarosawwroblewski4051]

Then what does it mean to “claim assets”? If I don't receive them and can't use them later. I can claim what?

[@ahabib545]

can i use them in freelance projects?

[@luigii1456]

But with this method: do I still own them when 2025 starts? Because I claimed the quixel megascans but If I go to Quixel my collection is still empty. Did I do anything wrong?

[@DivisionCorner]

After you click on "Claim Megascans" they are still not marked as "owned" - the ones I manually add to the library have a green "owned" below them (same in your video). Does that still mean that it works and ALL of the megascans are owned - even though it's not written there? I am a little confused ..

[@MangekyouZen]

Its in quixel profile not fab library, they are working on so that they can bring quixel lib to fab

[@pavlekatnic3456]

If i claim all assets from Quixel available now would they still be free to use in 2025 even if I dont download them? Or only downloaded assets will be available for further usage? thanks

[@tuazulyrojoeljean]

Thanks a lot, man, you rock!

[@SmartPoly]

I'm glad you found the video helpful!

[@MKD-fe5vf]

I too did the scripted but from fab it didn't work. Maybe because I previously claimed them all. I only have the kits show up no individual assets that I claimed. And when I tried to download it unreal engine wasn't an option, only, fbx, png type files. I suspect it's an operator not knowing what he's doing. However I was still able to open Quixel bridge and download to my current project from there.

Also, if you click on stuff you've added to your Vault, you get the option to "Add to My Library" even though they are already present. I'm not sure what this actually entails...could it be a bug?

[@SmartPoly]

yep, it’s still early and they have yet to add a FAB plugin to unreal engine

[@lespaul1507]

Im finding this whole thing confusing... If we claim all assets from fab, does that mean all the textures and assets that were free on quixel we have free on fab. Or do we have to add them all to library, or maybe download. I used the script to get all items from quixel and dont want to lose them. And so if we claim all assets we will have everything on quixel even after this year ends? *Edit Reading through the comments looks like we just claim all for free and have them ready to download forever, but I have a bad feeling about this. I really dont want to lose all those textures.
