Thanks for the shoutout! Quixel Megascan assets are definitely worth the price, but future Unreal users will have a lot harder time learning UE5/UEFN without the library. The original intention of Epic Games acquiring Quixel was to make the library free and environment design accessible to new developers.
Quixel in its current state should be free (inside Unreal) and then they should add something like a Quixel pro with new upgrades, or specific advanced quixel packages. And also, if you want to use quixel outside Unreal, you buy it. I think this will be nice...
I agree, that's exactly how things should go. Unreal Engine is their main product, the real game changer. It should always be and look like their own priority. Else is like giving your best player away to the opposite team you're just going to face off... right at the Super Bowl's Finals!
EXACTLY! How hard is that to do? No t hard. I think this was to appease the major film studios who don't want the smaller players to have access to top of the line assets, this making it more difficult for independent film makers.
I just started learning UE5 about 2 weeks ago and I can tell you, without having access to all of the free information and free assets to play around with, I would have given up. I started this because I wanted to make custom maps for Ark. I quickly realized that there were a lot of UE5 things I needed to learn before I could just create a map. So I decided to make my own game instead. Im starting to realize that even with all the free assets, I will need to create or buy a ton more. I get that the MS library must cost a fortune to create, but its a HUGE draw for new developers who are deciding which engine to start with. The more devs we have on this platform, the more plugins and other assets people will create for the store. The more assets in the store, the more money Epic makes. I think that is probably the play, but what do I know.
epic is TRIPPING, their game changer was always their free assets and projects! this new FAB thing is completely unnecessary and all the stores are working properly already and epic is making money from them already.
I agree. I don't see why they just make the current megascans assets FREE or maybe only make most used assets FREE. Either way this is a loss for new users
its probably cause fab is a universal marketplace so they cant/dotn wanna work more to figure out if the user is using for unreal or other engine and then give free or buy
this is a huge blow to UE potential costumers. The main reason why you pick UE as an indie was the pixel bridge itself ! and the free market assets! Wth Epic games?
I use Unreal Engine in one of my high school classes specifically, because these assets are free over all other considerations. This is going to destroy that class.
it will be free for people who claim the assets before the end of this year. Really it's only screwing over new unreal engine users, who find they missed out on a bunch of free assets
@@SmartPoly I knew this would happen one day, so last year I downloaded a huge amount of the library's assets onto my hard drive, because we shouldn't think that free will be free forever. also I purchased the entire content of the Quixel MegaScan site in less than 10 minutes All this with a simple script Now I am doing the same thing on another Gmail account
@@brenolad nobody is expecting them to work for free and nor do they, they're employed by Epic. The real point is that this will ultimately be a huge obstacle for new developers to the engine which is a totally fair concern.
I am just finishing video game design school and can confirm quixel was my go to for 95% of all my projects. It made it so easy to learn and get into unreal and have fun with it. Honestly to mess around with engines this change may make me not use unreal anymore. Pretty sad tbh
Purchased Quixel in 2016! They then made it free! Now its going paid again! Dumb! They better have all my paid assets/plugins. I've spent thousands over the years! Hopefully they also make it easier to categorize your owned assets as the current marketplace blows!
I wonder if this decision is also the consequence of big studios pressure. With unreal being free of use and with so many assets free there have been an explosion in indie games and a massive increase in their overall quality. To the point where they must be impacting the market share for the big ones. We have seen recently with the debacles of Ubisoft or Concord how much people don’t deal with trash games anymore.
Or it's because Unity is failing and they see that. They know they can start taking advantage now. Hope it's not true but this is what happens when business doesn't have competition.
if that was the case, I would think it's TOO soon to start charging for services like this. It was only last year that the whole Unity runtime fee was introduced, and recently it was actually removed
Unity just made a huge announcement with alot more free stuff and never to change current versions with new changes. Also upped the required earnings for when to take paid to 200K. I like UE but Unity is on its way to a right track again.
Downloading all those assets to own them would be literally insane and I hope that's not really the case. I really hope claiming them will be enough. Besides... if they make the download relevant my prevision is their servers will die with people downloading those assets all at once like crazy since today to the end of the year. Even as Epic I wouldn't like to go through that. Personally I haven't used those assets much yet because I'm more working on mechanics and gameplay... but those assets were going to be an absolute need for me. I honestly hope they move back at least from that decision. I'm also concerned about the cost of the assets in the new platform, I'm concerned prices will run out of control. In all this I really hope this won't be a "new era" for Unreal Engine making the "old" or "mid" era become a long gone "golden era"!
I personally never had an interest in using any of the free assets in my projects. For some reason i want to create everything authentically from scratch. However, i do like harvesting assets just to analyze them and see how they created the mesh/textures/materials. Basically a tool for learning. But this is unfortunate and hopefully it isnt a sign of worse things to come.
Honestly I thinks it's not a bad move for people that actually use it can get more updates and better assets. Quixel scans created this effect where anyone could make some "wow looks so real" screenshots but the novelty wears off super quick. Realistically speaking you most likely wouldn't use this in a profesional game, they are often way too overkill for almost any type of game plus anything of lower level of detail that you put on the scene is going to pop up immediately, specially characters looking amateurish and cheap. We've all sene those "sonic in unreal" etc projects that look completely disjointed and lack real art direction. People often thing that higher detail assets make for more realistic and therefore better games but they are worth nothing if there is not a talented artist behind the direction.
A suggestion, if you can afford it get a large external hard drive, 4T range or better. Get as many assets as you want and download then transfer to the external drive. This is what I did with all the assets I've picked up over the years.
I started learning unreal engine 5 in May this year because of SmartPoly's Zombie FPS tutorials. I am still learning and building this game. I hope this new change won't impact the progress of this game development and learning journey.
I also knew this would happen one day, so last year I downloaded a huge amount of the library's assets onto my hard drive, because we shouldn't think that free will be free forever.
I mean they were only free for like 2 years or something, always seemed inevitable to me that UE would start charging once they got a bunch of new users
Great Vid, I think that all current free assets should stay free. Anything moving forward they can sell it at a price. But taking what was once always free and now taking that away will hurt them.
Most of this will be AI generated soon. You can already do a lot of AI generations for 3D assets - for free. This will just accelerate the market for free assets via third parties. So I don't think it's a big deal TBH. As such, I don't think it was a good move for Ureal, because it'll just push users to other venders. What they should have done, is have a multi-tier model, where you get free assets up to a certain resolution, then anything 4k+ you need a pro plan or something like that.
Probably not a popular opinion, but: they did state that certain assets would be free, so I'm guessing a lot of Quixel stuff will be free after all except for the very high quality assets. Though given all reactions I wonder if they will go through with this plan at all.
I think what is happening is that more movie studios are now using UE and so UE is sacrificing the small fish to appease the big boys so that the content creation of the small fish is competitive with the major players. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some deal the studios offered UE to limit assets to the small fish.
From what I've seen in UE5.5, Fab still has free assets from Quixel Bridge. Fab can be tested in Unreal Engine 5.5, which is used to edit Fortnite maps.
They should make a megascans plugin for unreal that draws the assets from fab and then fab detects that it's that plugin and the assets will be free as long as the plugin loads them into unreal directly.
I hope fab is not going to be like cg trader with that reward system to download free stuff. I was not the biggest user of Quixel bridge "did not have a good pc for years" and its hard to find assets to match how good they look without paying. but I'm going to miss ue marketplace free monthly stuff. Its better then xmas when I was a kid.
I can't believe someone is not going to download it all and upload it for people to download via a torrent of some sort. Just started UE, this is quite a shame...
If they don't migrate Unreal assets that people have already claimed, the masses need to look at walking away. At the worst what people have claimed should still be available? As for trying to cast their net out to claim more money from people making films etc. Well, maybe Blender and other software may be a better choice???
Fab being engine agnostic is kinda weird. Like there are tons of plugins specifically for UE on the marketplace, if those become available on Fab they certainly won't be engine agnostic
What about unreal marketplace? A lot of tutorials use that as well. Will it still function as it does now, that some assets are free, some are paid and we get additional 5 free assets every month?
Unity: fucks up Epic Games: Locks quixel behind a paywall Meanwhile, Godot: P.S I use unity and now I feel I made the right decision of not switching to unreal
My guess is that all the legacy assets will remain free. They only have value for realistic games. Stylized assets are more valuable in my opinion and would be a more likely focus of an asset store.
i understand they want to make money and it's hard to make these assets but at least they should let current free assets remain free instead of charging people for them in the future
It was said somewhere that even if devs don't do anything their assets will be ported to fab automatically.. This new fab thing with the licencing sucks though..
Epic should give these assets to all account created in fab before 2025 or one click buy all, else it will be a nightmare to get all of these one by one
I ran the script and now have them all in my purchased items however when I go to an item it only shows download in 2k, 4k and 8k, no nanite option available. Anyone know why?
Unreal Engine switched to a Per seat license for users of the engine other than game development. Just as I had explained in my video. But you probably didn't watch the full video...
Marketplace is affected? How is this gonna fk up our library? You know it will. Im hoping this wont affect the monthly freebies in there. Surely there will still be the monthly freebies section. Right? RIGHT?
They mentioned to current Unreal Marketplace sellers to start migrating their content over. So I am wondering if migration is a manual process. If so, will old asset packs be auto-migrated over? or removed...
@@SmartPoly On the announcement they said creators who don't migrate manually to the Fab license until a certain date will be migrate to Fab using the current unreal license.
@@MarcusBuer Well that sux. What a dumbass name. Fab. I went over there and checked it out. It took my epic login credenials. There is a QnA that says there will be free stuff. I assume its gonna be up to the sellers. Man I wish they would just leave well enough alone.
When you say that you can claim these items means that there will be an option of claiming like a button kind of thing right because when I go to bridge there is no button of claiming , I just download whatever asset I want to . Am I right ?
Did you watch any of the video or read the description? Get the script and claim the assets.... (and no I'm not gonna help you with that, it's all in the link) You're welcome...
My ssd damaged while rendering in unreal engine . I know why .. so i decided to buy new gpu with high gigs but now i can see that unreal engine doing something sus ..well doesn't matter for me because i have never used megascan library because it's take too much memory.i just need lumen render for my animation .
Does anyone know how big the whole 18k asset size is? And does it give you an option what quality to download with the script? Don’t need them all 8K and 4K 😂
sure this are sad news, but having all those great assets for free, for all this time, don´t make me feel like cheated or something else. About disencouraging new users, I don´t really think so, but I see they're going to cut a lot of great indie environment portfolios, and that´s something unreal staff generally brag a lot about on their channels

Will things like Metahumans Project Lyria or GASP also start to cost money or is Quixel the only thing ??
And this is why I'm using Godot everything is free including the game engine

How much will it cost?
This bad for now but ai development of modeling and more might even this out in the next 5 years. Until then this sucks
I think this is a good thing. Beginners will learn how to create original assets and stop creating generic looking games and films.
@unrealSensei Have you stopped making videos as the last one was 4 months ago?
Why does this kind of thing only happen when I finally start using the engine?
same i just started 2 weeks ago
luckily you can claim them and own it permanently! but new users who start next year (and dont claim them) will have to pay for it!

It's still free for Unreal Accounts. It stated so in the email it sent to me.
till the end of the year
People will just start making their OWN Assets...I am telling them right now "Bad Choice" dont do it , you will regret it...
When you say that you can claim these items means that there will be an option of claiming like a button kind of thing right because when I go to bridge there is no button of claiming , I just download whatever asset I want to . Am I right ?
Did you watch any of the video or read the description?
Get the script and claim the assets....
(and no I'm not gonna help you with that, it's all in the link)
You're welcome...
Did they take a play from the unity playbook?
Yeah...BAD CHOICE...they will regret this.
I'm taking everything that's free. sad day
i literally just started using the engine like a month ago :(
what about metahuman
My ssd damaged while rendering in unreal engine . I know why .. so i decided to buy new gpu with high gigs but now i can see that unreal engine doing something sus ..well doesn't matter for me because i have never used megascan library because it's take too much memory.i just need lumen render for my animation .
Does anyone know how big the whole 18k asset size is? And does it give you an option what quality to download with the script? Don’t need them all 8K and 4K 😂
I think overall this will be better than this shitty epic marketplace slower than snaile
upsetting but maybe its what we deserve
I have to re-run the script every a thousand or so because it got stuck, maybe too many people doing the same?, but it's going.
I wonder if quixel is having problems
sure this are sad news, but having all those great assets for free, for all this time, don´t make me feel like cheated or something else. About disencouraging new users, I don´t really think so, but I see they're going to cut a lot of great indie environment portfolios, and that´s something unreal staff generally brag a lot about on their channels
