    Special thanks to @antoniopivaldi8785 for pointing out that if you hit the "Add to My Library" button on the megascans asset in the fab browser, it should show up when you go to My Library. It's an extra step unfortunately, but a solid workaround for now.

    OMG THANK YOU the minute this launched I've been looking for videos that were helpful and its been tough. I love the IDEA behind fab but the way they rolled it out was a nightmare. I could not find any way to add any of the new quixel content that I got. Even downloading the FBX files were super disorganized...

    I noticed the 3D previews of the birch log did not display on your machine either. I'm glad because I was worried it might just br me! Thsanks for this video. I had no idea the plugin was available. Now I have it installed and I look forward to exploring it all (and to Epic fixing those 3D previews!)

    Fab said that they working on adding all claimed megascans to your library, for now it’s not appears in there until you press “add to my library” button.
    Also they changed ORD textures to ORM textures, what’s really disturbing decision.. so yes materials can looks different.

    • @DigitalAlchemy3D
      @DigitalAlchemy3D  2 місяці тому +2

      That's good to know about the "Add to My Library button! Yeah, while ORM is the industry standard, the problem I have always had with it is that a metalness mask is useless a lot of the time. Working on a huge open world game right now with thousands of textures and so many of them don't utilize that blue metalness channel. The good thing with this is that at least Megascans are utilizing metalness now. I haven't had a chance to investigate the new master materials yet, but I have my suspicions and yes the metalness is on my list of wonders.

    also quick note: If your Fab doesn't automatically open like it did for him. Click your content browser and on the top left next to "Add" you'll see a "Fab" button. Click that and it will open the plugin. If that is not on there go back and make sure you install the plugin to the right Unreal Engine Version. Hope this helps !

      This is actually a huge deal that nobody is really talking about yet. We know how Fab affects users (so far it's not in a good way). But how is it affecting marketplace sellers? Do the users hate the new platform so much that they have stopped buying? I sell a Megascan Environment Challenge course myself (not on Fab, but on my own site) and I know my sales TANKED the day Fab was announced and haven't really picked back up.

      @@martinsalinas6731 maybe, though I think fewer assets is a temporary thing whereas making a Darth Vader level of change to the deal and threat to pray they don't change it further eroded trust where this just inconveniences us.
      Turns out the Fab plugin works fine, you can get all of the Quixel megascans with the click of a button on Fab on any megascan asset, and most of the old stuff has been migrated over. Almost all. Plus some other stuff that was previously only available for Unity but we're already just FBX files so they instantly work with UE now. It's not terrible. Just annoying.
      Unity was ACTUALLY terrible, and will be untrustworthy for years.

    once you add at least one of the Quixel items in your library just hover over the thumbnail and when you see the Q logo in the upper left side of the thumbnail click on it, that should take you to all the assets you have. Add at least one for now to your library, UE said they are going to fix this but who knows when. I just wish they did not release this as they did. Also Many many free assets are gone and I did not hear if they are going to put them back or not.
