Only thing I dont understand is for those free assets standard licence means what? Licencing text is beyond my english understanding. All fab's licence types are so confusing.

@@PabloYaos Do they? As far as I saw on the website, all assets consistently offer four LOD levels (Raw, High, Medium, Low).

@@gamefromscratch What do you mean by "buy"? Do I have to just press Grab All after logging to the fab, or do I have to download the asset to "buy" asset and assign it to my account?
Thank you so much! I stumbled across your video as a suggestion to watch and this is a great resource to have! I was able to claim it and while I dont make games anymore I can use these models for some 3D prints that I have planned
The day has finally come, this is great! I noticed they mentioned plans to introduce Roblox and Minecraft formats. I mean, Quixel assets have been pirated on Roblox for years now, but I am curious how these Minecraft formats would work. What does a Minecraft format even mean?
Honestly, if you're a 3D artists it doesn't really make a huge amount of sense to make assets for games anymore, instead better to make assets for 3d Printing where you can charge 3X for the same product and you don't even need to provide a commercial license.
i massively disagree. most of these assets are made for a specific style and purpose and (no offence) tend to end up in asset flip type games. and not every game runs in unreal engine, sure photo realistic art is getting easier but Good and specialized art that matches a specific aesthetic and functionality is not something you can buy from some asset store. big studios know this so they make their assets from scratch even when stuff like this exists.

If you also have a similar problem, please share it. It is important for me to know if this problem is individual or widespread, and if there are ways to solve it. Thank you in advance!
once it says "Megascans claimed" do we have access to them even after the end of the year? or do we need to download and/or add to "my library" now to keep them? shame there is no "download all" option, this is GOLD!..
@@tPlayerioT this is going to revolutionise many many games and sims. I think this is the best thing ive ever seen on the internet in my time since 1995. From a man who has spent over £50k on assets, this still feels like I must be asleep. Top respect to those in charge. This literally is game changing across the entire globe for all. I take a bow to all of you. And a salute for good measure.
I use quixel megascans alot but my problem is thier size in bytes. Some of those assets, even low quality, are tens of mb in aize and your project will quickly become significantly bloated and huge in size. I find that I have to import most of their assets into blender and do significant rework that doesn't affect texture or geometry but cuts their size by 90% in some cases. Those assets are NOT optimized and many times, its faster just to make them from scratch in blender.
I agree to download the fbx only for unreal engine by mistake, is this is a problem if i download them and use in unity? There will be some different in quality? Because i agree by mistake that i will use only for unreal engine, this is what quixel ask me..and i presw by mistake
So do I have to only claim them or do I have to download them to my hard drive. Before fab launched I think they said you can use free assets that you downloaded to your drive. Did they went back on that and made it so that you just have to claim them to keep them ?
I would think they should work like any other assets, as long as you claimed them they should now be linked to your account forever. It actually wouldn't make much sense for Epic to require you to download them all because they would have tons of people overloading their servers trying to download hundreds of gigs of assets.
@@relaxingandedits5340 you just need to click claim and they are all yours soon they will be added to your library after epic games figures out a good way for you to manage them

So this is still only for Unreal Engine ? or i can load them in unreal and export them out for other engines ?
Heh, trying to claim them brings you to a page that just says "sign in" and clicking it just reloads the page. Maybe I'll try again in a week and see if their site is working yet.
I know you're going to be asked repeatedly... Cause I see that I "own" them... but I don't have to "claim" each one BEFORE 2025 in order to retain "ownership"?
would like to know too, i tried the common hazel, and it told me -Unreal Engine files are available in your Vault in the Epic Games Launcher, or the Fab UE5 Plugin.
It would appear that all the assets have been downloaded, but they do not appear in the Fab.... library. How can I be sure I've actually downloaded them?
Awesome, I hope this site turns out to be the big site for general art needs. I don't like having to bounce between stores (Blender, Patreon, Unity, Unreal) looking for what I already purchased.
okay we needa stop acting like nanite is the ultimate solution to lods, nanite will not lower the ram usage if your model has a billion vertices, just increased render times. ram is very important to performance, and people are forgetting that.
It's the same problem that nearly all tech has always had where Microsoft devs would have 8gb of ram when the average man would have 256 mb so microsoft office would buffer like crazy and a manager went around ripping ram out of machines I would say nearly all people developing have 32 64 96 or 128 gb of ram while the average person has 8 16 or for really high end machines 32
They can be used in Godot? Some of the assets are only available in UE formats but a large amount of them can be imported into Godot without too many issues.
@@numipinkpanda5486no I'm pretty sure you are allowed to use the Quixel assets for any game engine. It says there either in the Fab Standard license or the Fab Quixel page. I forgot which one but the previous video on Fab earlier today had that near the end too.
