for those of you wondering why your image looks flat you have to make sure that Preview Displacement is activated (shortcut D)...also be aware on the lower left hand side you have 3 different options for the displacement...Raise, Lower or Set. Press T if you want your View port to display the texture tiled. Yes, these are basic things, but it helps when you are brand new to the software and everyone just assumes you know what the hell you are doing....when obviously, you don't.
Awesome video! I would really like to see strategies for dealing with tiled repetition in mixer. I think the new mixer has some specific features that help with this.
Hey Quixel, how did you do the animation like the stuff at 3:47 , I've got Toolbag 3 but I can't figure out the right export to make it look like yours, the video export loses quality.
I have been trying to create sand stones the same stones used to build ancient Egyptian temples . but I can't get the right color can someone please give me the right formula
How come I can't log into the online library?!! it drives me insane! I get the message to sign in with Epic Games instead though I am signing in with the Epic Game account!!!
He means it has no seams- The material itself will be pretty obvious if you only use one texture across a landscape. Which you should not. In combination with a few other textures and vert paint you can easily get a decent looking landscape
What settings are you using for performance ? I have a 4790k, 2 - 980 gtx ti, 32 gigs ram and this program is crawling like a snail ? something i am missing here? should be flying through this.
Tried the brushes and found the visual outcomes are not the same. Very flat and they're all circular. Am I missing something, or are these lower quality brushes instead? :( Trying to make progress in my learning
so,thats is crazy but when i use in unreal engine the texure is plane, obviously, how i can to have this texture in my ground,or is so demanding for the hardware?
I'm following along with 2018.1.2 Beta with the same brushes and settings but not getting the same results? My displacement is not as high and altho I can see the shallow disp, the diffuse is quite black?
Thanx for the tutorial. Rubble_02_Brush is not working like on the video. 1) it has inverted effect 2)values are same but I can't get those displacement visual results. (Mixer 2020.1.1)
Can i import my own materials from substance designer ? Or built a material(in quixel) with the extracted maps or files (colorBase, roughness, displace, normal...)
gNightrow you don't have to export and use the displacement map in your engine or renderer. You can specify exactly which maps you want in the exporter tab. :) What you can do is to pre-displace your mesh in a 3d software.
Can't find the Import Brush button on the latest version (2019.1.3.0). I tried to copy the files to the Custom folder, but they also didn't show up on the brush library. Any solution on how can I import those brushes? Thanks
Awesome! Could you guys also do a tutorial on kinda opposite use of paint layers? That is, instead of making it for bumps to use it for deep cracks in the road for example? Also, what is the section those brushes are located? I was looking for those in "Brushes", but haven't found anything like this. "Free" doesn't have it too.
You can find many brushes on the Internet that can be used on mixers. So, this is very simple. You only need an alpha map, just like the ones in ZBRUSH.
1 - can i take photoshop brushes and use them in quixel mixer? 2 - is it possible to make the landscapes to tile randomly ? 3 - can you also give links to each of the induvidual scans used ( especally the moss ! ) in the video
First of, I don't know the answer to any of your questions since I haven't used Quixel Mixer before, however: 1. I don't think you can use a Photoshop Brush in Quixel Mixer, it seems to only accept JPEG or PNG (and so on). But what you can do is paint your brush in a blank canvas and save it as a PNG, or your preferred image type, because Quixel should accept that! 2. It's probably not possible to tile your texture randomly in Quixel Mixer, (or maybe it works). It shouldn't really matter, what you should care about is if that is possible in your engine of choice, which it is in both Unity and Unreal Engine 4.
Yes absolutely! You can even export straight to Unreal using the Megascans Bridge live link. Simply go to File > Export to Library, and when you start Bridge the next time you will find your surface under the “Custom” category. From there you can export it straight to Unreal. Check out the Megascans + UE4 live link tutorial on our channel by Galen Davis to see it step by step :)
How is this happening? imgur.com/rZPjTO1 Using the very same steps, all I got is this: imgur.com/jFA8SIz When it comes to add the fist material, it's somehow buried: imgur.com/zBJ0dwj And far from the video reference: imgur.com/nlUaNi1 I used a soft brush with a dark grey diffuse tone in carve mode to uncover the buried material and paint the rocky surface. Was that the workaround in the video or did you use a different technique? What I got doing that is this: imgur.com/nEJi9BA
@@dailyraven3241 I just unpacked .rar on desktop. In mixer, click the current brush shape icon of a paint layer properties panel to load a new brush. Once loaded click the icon to the left of the garbage can icon to save new brush in Mixer's own brush library selection box.
As an owner of Quixel suite, how do we import our models now lol. No DDO, NDO? everywhere i look this question is not answered. As though poof screw quixel suite users.

This is exactly what I was looking for, figuring out how to import custom brushes and creating sculpts from scratch, so awesome.
Spent ages to figure out all of these in the hard way. And now these 5 mins vids, makes me cry.. :D :D Good job!
That's more like it! Appreciate the properly scale UI.
It looks like magic. I can't wait to experiment with it.
Did you Experimented with it?
So good to see you guys drop your software dependence on Photoshop. Hope you'll fully detach one day.
Thank you for Quixel Mixer its really easy to learn.
Man why I'm always feel like i'm cheating when using those :D
Same lmao. Its too damn easy man. feels almost too good to be true
I’m can’t get enough out of this program
We need more video like that !
I just downloaded Quixel Mixer today. I hope I will learn much.
how do you make the brushes work i just get a Square even with the brushes loaded i can get the albedo to work but not displacement
How to add displacement layer. My stones dont want to go up
How do you make it infinite tillable at 2:28?
WINBUSH press T on your keyboard. :)
imagine creating this in substance designer...would take years
is till in beta ?
You make it seem so easy
Awesome video! I would really like to see strategies for dealing with tiled repetition in mixer. I think the new mixer has some specific features that help with this.
Joe Andresen that's definitely something I can cover in an upcoming tutorial! Thanks for the suggestion. :)
That's some real kick ass stuff
WoW!!! The future has come!
BRUSHES ARE GONE!!! :( Quixel can you please re-up these?
Sad
was able to download them fine
@@vanorden5366 me too
Amazing speed to create materials
Awesome wonderfull tool! Very easy to use! You can do a lot of work in seconds!
Its like photoshop but for textures
literally just thought the exact same thing
Will there be a new video because the interface with the current one is confusing.
Hey Quixel, how did you do the animation like the stuff at 3:47 , I've got Toolbag 3 but I can't figure out the right export to make it look like yours, the video export loses quality.
there is no brush in the site could you please uploud the link please
I have been trying to create sand stones the same stones used to build ancient Egyptian temples .
but I can't get the right color
can someone please give me the right formula
Zbrush ->sculpt rock and create alpha -> import it to qiuxel ,and watch the magic
the brush are not disponible now :'(
11/14/19 brushes are available
12/26/2019 available
Please fix the link, I cannot find brushes like this anywhere
This is incredible! Cool!
Please upload the boulder brush file again....given link is not working..... :(

Thanks for the info, very useful !
Question...how to add "something" into Local Libary? is it called PBR material? im using it for free so i cant download it from online
Really impressive!
But is it really tilable, as you mention at 0:54, for large landscapes in Unreal Engine, Unity, or other software?
Thanks!
He means it has no seams- The material itself will be pretty obvious if you only use one texture across a landscape. Which you should not. In combination with a few other textures and vert paint you can easily get a decent looking landscape
sadly its not working correctly , paint layer doesnt paint and tesselation is disabled .. gtx 960 4GB win 8.1 ...
What settings are you using for performance ? I have a 4790k, 2 - 980 gtx ti, 32 gigs ram and this program is crawling like a snail ? something i am missing here? should be flying through this.
This is quite amazing.. In substance designer I'd spend MANY hours...
Powerful workflow!

0.98GB of brushes attached in Dropbox link. How much brushes are there in that zip file.
4
Whats the license/terms for the brushes you share in the link? The archive includes no readme or anything.
so,thats is crazy but when i use in unreal engine the texure is plane, obviously, how i can to have this texture in my ground,or is so demanding for the hardware?
Uh, All I AM Getting Is The .RAR File For The Brush, And Quixel Doesn't Support RAR Files For Brushes
I'm following along with 2018.1.2 Beta with the same brushes and settings but not getting the same results? My displacement is not as high and altho I can see the shallow disp, the diffuse is quite black?
Thanx for the tutorial.

How do we use thiese textures on a custom mesh and render it with V-Ray ? - Can you export the model as if it was scan data?
The folder button to add a brush is gone, how does one add a custom brush now?
this is really cool :)
Pardon my ignorance, but with Quixel mixer does it make 3d geometry or is it textures/materials to be applied to existing models?
How are you getting that SNOW hdri?
Did quixel reinvent te wheel?
this awesome. but how do you create that custom sculpt brush and what format do you import it into mixer?
How do you put in the diffuse specular gloss displacement under paint in layers?
Please help my brush is inverted it displaces downward
WOW! Amazing Software.
what magical performance woooooooooow😮😮
so can we create our own textures from scratch like substance designer? or it uses scans only?
Noob question, how did you turn your paint layer black in 1:01?
Can i import my own materials from substance designer ? Or built a material(in quixel) with the extracted maps or files (colorBase, roughness, displace, normal...)
Would it be possible to make variations in each tiling of the texture?
Nice. Just curious - does it need some special sw/hw specs to run smoothly like that ?
B key and middle mouse button dragging only pans the material view not change the brush size
How to we import our materials to unity
Is there a way to get the texture to look almost as good without the displacement map in order for it to run better in games ?
gNightrow you don't have to export and use the displacement map in your engine or renderer. You can specify exactly which maps you want in the exporter tab. :) What you can do is to pre-displace your mesh in a 3d software.
how do you make the symmetry brush that when u drag by one click you draw 4 other places in the scene?
How do we change the reflectance values?

Did you unpack them?
I don't know how to install this software I try two times with different PC I got one error I don't solve can u guy please help me solve that error
Is this program only meant for ground materials, or is it possible to make materials for example building walls?
Vladislav Karagodin it can be used for floors, walls, ceilings, roofs and a lot more! :D
Wiktor Öhman oh that’s amazing!
Any tutorial to set the map in maya with arnold please ?
Could you direct me to a tutorial on how to create these sharp displacements in unreal ?
Can you guys do some dedicated tutorial for Arch Viz
Can these all be used in blender?
Awesome! Could you guys also do a tutorial on kinda opposite use of paint layers? That is, instead of making it for bumps to use it for deep cracks in the road for example?

Sure!!

I know, it's just easier to get them from one place, especially if they are supposed to be released.
i keep getting this frizzy patterns at the edge of my brus h plus they appear blurry as hell.
really great job quixel! with atlases, is there the possibility to paint masks for areas we wouldn't want the atlas to apply?
