this is HUGE for devs, can't believe Quixel is free and integrated now. Indie games are about to look AAA!

[@0lionheart]

..that's not how it works. Megascans is a quality resource, but the library is limited and generic, it's best used as a foundation. Any indie with a brain still won't commit to trying to match AAA/AAAA visual fidelity because you still have to tweak scans to fit your style/setting, and create all of the unique hero assets that you won't find in Quixel's library. one single AAA/AAAA quality hero asset (like a statue, unique building or rock formation) can take weeks so.. no, indies are not going to commit to that. what you'll actually see is a lot more same-y looking games from amateur/hobbyist developers who try to use Quixel as a replacement for environment artists and art direction, before the excitement/hype wears off and they realise you can't replace an entire AAA art department with free photogrammetry scans.
