Stylized Environment Texturing in Mixer

[@AdrianDrott]

I want a separate tutorial for the foliage haha. That grass and the cute little shimmery wind shader is just so prett.

[@StrayVertex]

Second that! edit: trees look like simple cards tho?

[@MaSsD3str0yer]

@@StrayVertex I'm pretty certain they are- since they're not moving at all xD

[@AlexiosLair]

That's not going to be Quixel tutorial though, but UE4. And there are tons of tutorials on grass on it.

[@callum6224]

Collateraldebris that’s called ‘billboarding’ if I understand you correctly

[@chadyonfire7878]

make it happen

[@jabourq]

To anyone else who almost had a stroke trying to figure out how to 'append' a layer... it's not called 'appending' it's called layer clipping. .-. Why it wasn't refered to such in the video, we'll never know. Alt + Click on a layer.

Guys, this is awesome. Thanks so much for sharing this.

i was about to start a Stylized Environment with megascans ... lucky day

[@asianhavoc1872]

Can I make Megascans with the photos from my Samsung M30 16mp Camera??

[@JonathanWinbush]

Thank you been waiting on this one for a minute since you guys teased it a few months ago

[@mahdihasankhan4419]

finally something about stylized design!

[@philosophyfrog2653]

That landscape is absolutely gorgeous!. I would pay a good penny to see the entire process.

[@pnvgordinho]

What impresses me is that you can save as a smart material and apply it to other assets and it works.

[@hallu7477]

Man the environment at the end, freaking beautiful

[@NovaNocturneArt]

I've been using Substance painter.... but this... it's so sleek, so clean, so organized!! my gosh I need this.

[@DeviMon1]

The final enviornment looks so much better than all the hyper-realistic ones. God I love stylized styles

[@Anthro]

I dont even make games or anything but damn this was interesting as hell.

[@tomeryud]

same lol

If only i had this half a year ago.. Great stuff as always!

[@CrossyThePengi]

Thank you for the tutorial! I have now created a rock.. It may not look good, but it is a rock.

[@logvandyn_spore]

Very helpful tutorial! This was my first time using Mixer, and I only had to look up how to "append" things. (Hold alt and click!)

[@GiPa98]

wooo really awesome. I'm just getting started with mixer and I've been experimenting a bit with rocks, tiles and bumpy materials in general combining them. Didn't really know what solid layers could be useful for, well, now I do! Thanks for everything, and keep going!

[@MishkaSky]

Sweeeett! Exactly what I needed, right for my birthday haha. Thanks a lot Quixel.

[@gdavis3d]

Happy Birthday!!

[@MishkaSky]

@@gdavis3d Thanks man =). Great tutorial btw.

[@pzah33]

What an great tutorial. I'd love to see more Mixer tutorials, and Mixer + Blender setups. Texturing custom assets, both organic and hard surface would be interesting to see. What did the artist here use for baking and UV-ing, Zbrush? Also, do you need UVs for the procedural texturing, or only if you are painting on the asset?

[@thequicksketcher]

8:18 Imperfection Maps are sick!!!😱✨

[@thequicksketcher]

7:00 into the tutorial...so informative and straight to the point on sculpting and getting the stylize mesh ready in zbrush....So great so far...like starting at the base color in mixer now...background music is awesome!!! ✨

[@MadpolygonDEV]

I think would be awesome to have something like this built from scratch. Not every project is hyper realistic. Would have loved to see how the sky was approached, grass and many others. Would be cool if you guys could do it with this similar to the others you put out

[@josephlabs]

You guys are revolutionary

[@mrfukamachi1275]

I'm not sure but those references look a lot like studio ghibli stills. Lovely work as always😍

[@613shooter]

This the video I was WAITING for

[@Redfishpersonal]

Just what I was looking for

[@c0dexus]

Great tutorial. This may be less specifically about Mixer and Megascans but I would love to see a breakdown of how the whole scene was put together. Just sayin' :)

[@MR3DDev]

I wast just thinking “man I wish I could use the megascans for stylized scenes”

[@maciejklosowski6006]

I was hoping for such a video for a long time :). Is it possible to get an extended breakdown like 2 hours long? I would love to see how the foliage system works, especially trees. Amazing work neverthless.

[@SoraNashimi]

Would love to know about how you did the foliage too.

[@sentetsu]

Look up Woodbound Grass, the guy who made that game wrote many articles on how to achieve the wind highlight and that style of grass.

[@TheGreengree]

Super cool stuff about stylized materials. Looking forward to see more of that! :)

[@Udaykumar-xq8gb]

The environment look like the game “Children of the Sky”

[@_AndrewParker]

Sick vid! Thanks for taking the time to make it :D I'm sure it's helped a ton of folks!

Holy smokes, I had no idea I could use Quixel in this way!

[@FireFox-ji2rf]

TYSM for this tutorial! I've been thinking about getting into blender and this makes me want to try and learn it so much more.

[@Impaczus43]

So Awesome! Hoping to see a tutorial on how the foliage is done!

[@kalubandali2241]

a step by step on how to make this would introduce so many new people to the art

[@maxleveladventures]

I want to learn Unreal Engine and Quixel Mixer so badly, but it just seems so daunting. I'd love to see a series that starts with nothing and ends with a fully finished scene. I don't care if it's 40 hours long. I'll watch it and follow the whole damned thing. With that said, I did learn from this video and the scene looks amazing...

[@cosmotect]

Prepare for years of that. The faster you accept how difficult this stuff is to master, the quicker you can stop thinking about the daunting task ahead, and just start creating. There are no shortcuts, all of us go through years of work before you build up all of the specific knowledge needed to make beautiful scenes. There are no tutorials in the world that can convey the gut feeling of an experienced artist.

[@jashanbhullar3384]

I want more of this!

[@gdavis3d]

Coming right up!!

[@jackesdavid]

The best workflow ever!! Bravo Bravo!!

[@strangeapprentice]

Still wishing have it's own texture baker. Epic should buy Marmoset already

[@leandrohhble]

It was exactly this style of texture that I wanted a tutorial and still in Mixer, I have been looking for a long time. It seems to read my mind, thank you very much, but if you can make a more elongated tutorial, style those of 1 hour, ty.

[@philip9611]

"While you can paint in Quixel Mixer I actually want to..." Oh Galen, you know why you don't wanna show us that. Much respect to Quixel. I worship this crew's advancement, but nothing's perfect. =D

[@jamesjason8471]

Just because you have it, doesn't mean the industry is gonna get rid of expert modelers and just put unnecessarily large sculpt files for texturing. I'm not fucking UV unwrapping a high poly sculpt with bad topology.

[@matthewtheobald1231]

so beautiful! great job

[@Eternalblack]

Really awesome showcase!❤️ I do know that Quixel is highly focussed towards their MegaScans for explaining Mixer stuff. So I'm wondering if there will be any tutorials about using Mixer for custom character-creation? Like for example on how to properly texture a horse with fur (is there a procedural approach for this even?)? Or getting a face of a human textured properly? I'd really love to see a full tutorial on something like that :3 ❤️

[@hiiambarney4489]

I think it's awesome that most of what we see as Stylized games now (For example Breath of the Wild) probably came from inspiration of Studio Ghibli's stuff.

[@ralphjean2163]

I think it best to call the ''Mask Stack" Modifiers, That's would really help us familiarise with this term . Most of us nowadays are using Blender and I think is better to make the terms in Mixer to march that of blender. That would lower a lot the entry barrier for Mixer.

[@mzprox]

Hey, I used S. painter anf now that mixer is free and well integrated with ue4 I wonder if I should jump to it. Can you tell me which are the main features I'd miss from painter or what are the extras mixer has? I know I can't bake high poly to low poly in mixer. What about: having triplane projection, paint in uv space, paint by geometry/uv island, having good mask generators? A feature i liked in SP is that I can make height/normal details with painting/stamps and use that details directly in generators without rebaking the normals? does it work here? Anything else? Thx.

[@TheLittleJotunn]

You need to make a video on how you export things from Zbrush to work in Quixel Mixer because I am hella lost. There's no option for me to add occlusion, for example. Like, the option in the Quixel Mixel app is not there.
