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.
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' :)
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Do I need to be connected to internet to use quixel I know that I've to connected to internet to use megascan library but what if I don't want to use megascan library?
@Quixel Would you use Mixer to paint/texture a character model to fit the stylized look, or is that best done using Substance Painter? I haven't found any humanistic character models being textured in Mixer yet!
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...
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.
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
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.
When I go to add the scattered tile map component (11:21) there are no files shown in my local library tab when the type dropdown is set to 'Atlas' - am I missing something?
This is basically re modeling + painting a whole new asset from scratch, what benefit is there starting with a Quixel asset? Is there any workflow where these assets can be stylized simply?
So lets say I'm using Blender. I create the mesh and will need to create all the maps(Normal map and roughness map) except for the texture map and then I can import it into Mixer where I will be able to create a material for it? Which can then be exported to Unreal?
You can get the Zbrush orb brush pack for Blender, which has an extreme polish and trim border brush to achieve a similar effect :) You should be able to find on Google or TH-cam. Grant Abbitt has a tutorial "Make game assets - Sculpting stones" where he uses them.
Does anyone know if Blender has some equivalent to that planar cut brush he was using in Zbrush? Edit: I found this very outdated tutorial for an older version of blender: th-cam.com/video/YKPrGh1HTog/w-d-xo.html To the the same functionality in 2.8 I select the same tool (Scrape) and in its brush options tick the boxes Original Normal and Original Plane
Hello, on Jack's artstation he said that this was being released on the marketplace. I have been unable to locate it, do you happen to know what it was called?
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!
But doesn't this mean that all of your maps are baked, and can't be scaled up without the resolution looking bad? Like if I wanted to duplicate this rock and scale it up, it would become too low-res for its size
I'll give you a like just for saying "without further delay" instead of the lamentably overused "without further ado (but inexplicably often pronounced like "adieu")"
Do these assets end up more performant than their realistic source assets? I would assume yes for their low poly count but I'm wondering if there is anything costly leftover from going this route.
im a little confused on how to export this into unity, I have Bridge and im subscribed to Quixel yet in Mixer the export to library is greyed out and i can only export the texture not the model with it?
You talk about baking a lot what program did you bake it in? I would have loved to see that process and its sad that it was not included. I'm new to 3d and it helps watching pro's work.
MY KINGDOM for a part 2 (or 3, 4, and 5)!! How did you rework the megascans grass assets, the trees, and your environment set up? We need to know! Please let this become a multi-part series. Please please please.
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.
Can you please do something similar for a normal megascan 3d rock lod 5 that has pbr metalness workflow ? Or specify wich maps to use instead of the ones you used here (as they are way different)
I want a separate tutorial for the foliage haha. That grass and the cute little shimmery wind shader is just so prett.
Second that! edit: trees look like simple cards tho?
@@StrayVertex I'm pretty certain they are- since they're not moving at all xD
That's not going to be Quixel tutorial though, but UE4. And there are tons of tutorials on grass on it.
Collateraldebris that’s called ‘billboarding’ if I understand you correctly
make it happen

Guys, this is awesome. Thanks so much for sharing this.
You were probably waiting for this
Really glad you like it!
How are you not verified and why dont you have more subs!?😆
@@tjseries3057 Pretty much. A ton of great tips I'm going to use in future videos.
@@teddybergsman5358 You go Glen Coco!
Substance Painted: *sweats nervously*
Thank you for the tutorial! I have now created a rock.. It may not look good, but it is a rock.
Some Japanese environment please.. Would love to see something like Ghost of Tsushima
I wast just thinking “man I wish I could use the megascans for stylized scenes”
Still wishing have it's own texture baker. Epic should buy Marmoset already
Would love to know about how you did the foliage too.
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.
The environment look like the game “Children of the Sky”
Thank you been waiting on this one for a minute since you guys teased it a few months ago
i was about to start a Stylized Environment with megascans ... lucky day
Can I make Megascans with the photos from my Samsung M30 16mp Camera??
I dont even make games or anything but damn this was interesting as hell.
same lol
finally something about stylized design!
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' :)

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!)
Awesome! Is the environment accessible?

Oh wow the quality of these scene is outstanding!
Hey Quixel fam, would LOVE to see a download for that UE4 environment. SO many things about it I want to pick apart and learn from!
I've been using Substance painter.... but this... it's so sleek, so clean, so organized!! my gosh I need this.

at 8:45 i have no idea wat you did
cool
Holy smokes, I had no idea I could use Quixel in this way!
8:18 Imperfection Maps are sick!!!😱✨

it's all about skill and comfort. choose whatever feels good for you
waiting for them to include baking into the software so i can uninstall s*bst!nc# p)%nt@r.
awesome thank you
How can it possible to make the tree Stylized ??

Does anyone know where I can find a tutorial on how to make a studio ghibli dirt foot path underneath the stone steps like that?
Thank you. These tutorials are very helpful.
Damn! looks awesome
Sweeeett! Exactly what I needed, right for my birthday haha. Thanks a lot Quixel.
Happy Birthday!!
@@gdavis3d Thanks man =). Great tutorial btw.
*Picking my jaw up off the ground!* My only questions are can I use things created in Mixer inside Blender and Photoshop?
Yes.
We are exploring the Quixel in every tutorials .
We need more in less time 🤍🖤
11:57 - wanted to know more about the Scatter Modifier - th-cam.com/video/3sBnzGGjzIM/w-d-xo.html
When you say check out the video where Josh does a deep dive into each of these elements at 7:45 , which video are you referring to ?
Quixel: Low poly.
Me: Laughs in UE5.
With AI created objects!
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.
@@jamesjason8471 but I didnt get it. With UE5, no need to retopologize and UV map anymore?
@@HB-wk6zj tell me boy. Do you wanna download a 600+GB game?
@@jamesjason8471 over 5g with 1gbps speeds lol
This the video I was WAITING for
When I go to add the scattered tile map component (11:21) there are no files shown in my local library tab when the type dropdown is set to 'Atlas' - am I missing something?
So we can't use the content I make from mixer to other game engine for commercial use?
You guys are revolutionary
Japanse aimation stuff 👌
Nice vid
you top for texturing
More stylized assets please!!
Just what I was looking for
If only i had this half a year ago.. Great stuff as always!
Anyone know how he got the planar cut shallow brush?
So Awesome! Hoping to see a tutorial on how the foliage is done!
How do you generate the the rawk_ao and rawk_curve 6:11?
This is basically re modeling + painting a whole new asset from scratch, what benefit is there starting with a Quixel asset? Is there any workflow where these assets can be stylized simply?
The smart materials save time
Super cool stuff about stylized materials. Looking forward to see more of that! :)
Since you saved the material, is it available?.
🙆♂️👍👍👍👍👍
So lets say I'm using Blender. I create the mesh and will need to create all the maps(Normal map and roughness map) except for the texture map and then I can import it into Mixer where I will be able to create a material for it? Which can then be exported to Unreal?
Yes, thats right. There are tutorials on how to texturize your own meshes.
That landscape is absolutely gorgeous!. I would pay a good penny to see the entire process.
Anyone know how I can get this kind of brush effect in Blender?
You can get the Zbrush orb brush pack for Blender, which has an extreme polish and trim border brush to achieve a similar effect :) You should be able to find on Google or TH-cam. Grant Abbitt has a tutorial "Make game assets - Sculpting stones" where he uses them.
Amazing tutorial. I hate sculpting 10000000000 different rocks, this should speed up my process
Such a shame that mixer no longer has support
Does anyone know if Blender has some equivalent to that planar cut brush he was using in Zbrush?
Edit: I found this very outdated tutorial for an older version of blender:

To the the same functionality in 2.8 I select the same tool (Scrape) and in its brush options tick the boxes Original Normal and Original Plane
Hello, on Jack's artstation he said that this was being released on the marketplace. I have been unable to locate it, do you happen to know what it was called?
I dont know much about game dev but. If you have tutorial about making game FX it will be awsome. Maybe someday.
How long did it take to zremesher this?
He said y'all! Howdy from Mississippi!
Howdy!!
Mixer? Where is ninja with the fortnite dance?
In Ue5 is it an improovement for stylising megascans assets ? Like having some premade materials ? Or any resouce link ?
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!

Do these assets end up more performant than their realistic source assets? I would assume yes for their low poly count but I'm wondering if there is anything costly leftover from going this route.
Aw yisss!!!
im a little confused on how to export this into unity, I have Bridge and im subscribed to Quixel yet in Mixer the export to library is greyed out and i can only export the texture not the model with it?
this was amazing! thank you galen !
Glad you liked it, Michael!! Hope you are doing well
You talk about baking a lot what program did you bake it in? I would have loved to see that process and its sad that it was not included. I'm new to 3d and it helps watching pro's work.
Look its Genshin Impact :D
Where did you get those references from?
