have you guys considered doing a ‘from scratch’ series? i’d really, really like a more longform quixel tutorial series, keeping the same style as these videos, of one of your artists building up one of these scenes from start to finish. there are so many aspects such as asset blending, landscape texturing, artist blueprints, and more that are skipped over in essentially every tutorial and livestream making these things quite hard to follow all the way through for a lot of beginners to this workflow, as one or more key parts to achieving the desired look are often missed out assuming that it’s ‘a topic for another time’. it’s not. this stuff is all so interesting, all of it, so please do go off topic and do deep dives into things like setting up asset blending for a scene! we all want that stuff. UE4 as an engine is plagued with years of learning resources that are for game-dev-specific workflows. however, we’re now seeing an enormous influx of people who just want to use the engine to make art, and you guys are one of the only resources out there producing truly high quality educational content entirely specific to artist workflows. this means that the answers to a lot of the questions that these people have are often fairly non-existent anywhere else. i know i’m not the only one either as i have been following this channel for a long time and see most comment sections filled with questions on ‘A’ or ‘B’ aspect that tend to go completely unanswered. these videos are completely incredible, a joy to watch, brilliantly produced, and exciting to see the sheer variety of what can be done with these tools, but i just wish there was more done to fill in the gaps. i think most people are watching because they wanna be able to do what you do and play with these techniques. thanks for everything you guys do. from the tools, to the assets, to the videos you’re doing, this is easily the most interesting creative content online at the moment. EDIT: i hadn’t realised you’d released this scene for people to play around with! still would love to see the whole process of doing something like this from a blank canvas, but having the project is really incredible and useful, thank you.

I'm really new to UE4, but I'll download this and inspect it to the bone. *Thank you for those, incredible work!

Dear quixel team, Thank you for all the effort you guys are doing... Yet please read on as I as well as many others I am sure, have kind of a feedback for you guys. You show awesome stuff, no doubt. BUT, it seems that you guys assume that all of us used ue4 before we were even born.... All the sudden you guys say ( I just used this simple material)... And you open a bizillion node material that I believe most of us don't understand. My point is... Again, you guys are awesome, but honestly your biggest weakness is the lack of a really good beginner friendly tutorial from A-Z. It doesn't have to be 2 hours long... But also not a 5 min tutorial were everything is already pre-built. I saw this video.. And thought OK... I will search for a quixel ue4 mesh blending tutorial... No surprise, I found one by you guys... Again with two experts assuming we are all on that level. Gentlemen, I mean no disrespect, you guys are amazing... But please consider something more beginner friendly... It can be a small scene covering all we need. P.S... The ue4 videos by epic have the same problem... To them, we are all already experts using the software.... Well... We are not. Thanks and Regards,

I've come to realize that everything is there to make the magic but it takes a ton of painful learning and some artistry. I think the Quixel artists do have to be a bit more clear on that-it's not as easy as it looks.

In general you can use Quixel assets in Unity, there are also Plugins and so on for it. But you can't use them for commercial purpose. But the problem here is not Unity, the problem is Quixel and their decisions which platform they want to support. I also changed from Unity to Unreal, but because of the weird way of Unity how they handle the new render pipeline.

Yeah, game development will become insanely easy because of a vast scan library and some new texturing tools. Good that we do not need to learn game design, art and programming anymore because of that. (Seriously, pardon my irony, but your viewpoint is a wish or merely an illusion, I mean this in a friendly and constructive way, to trigger a reflection of your statement. If you want to develop games, be aware there are tons of layers of more interdisciplines and knowledge involved than knowing how to throw scans into a game engine. It will become immediately clear when trying to make your first game. Dont be seducted by visuals to believe the word "easy" is ever able to be associated with gamedev. Keep on learning, no time to relax because a few people have created some good new tools for visuals. Trust me, ive been there. Dont underestimate what it takes to make games and be curious and learning about the disciplines involed. Game Design is not visuals alone, but in a game, visuals support game design, not vice versa)

Great video. Great speaker. I really like it. of corse also great content

I've waited my whole life for this.

hi, thanks for the video! i am following the log to set up the RVP, however, i am unable to figure out how you got the node coming out of the Virtual Texture feature switch? my landscape is black and i am unsure as to why? aslo, i support the idea of a full a-z tutorial. maybe even from world machine to finished renders. all the materials in between. could be 8hr long or 38 vids for all i care, i'd lap it up.

question as im older hardware ray tracing is a no go , im assuming i can keep it off and it would still look very good, would i need to do some adjustments ,im gathering most of this is in the post processing area

This is an amazing scene! I was wondering: how is the smoke from the incense burners done? Is it a particle effect or does quixel have smoke elements available too? Are the lanterns chains modeled in maya?

How's the blending of assets created? is it only possible with unreal or is it possible in other 3d apps too?

I waited 20 years for this

HI dear master I have a problem with focus or depth in particle assets like fire ...how your candels fires have depth of focus in this movie?

Thanks for the awesome video. Is there any specific render setting to achieve this kind of realistic quality?

OMG. The complete scene is available? I'd say this could become the new benchmark scene people will jump into after buying or in the future upgrading to better RTX cards

Awesome!

Would loooove if you guys create a benchmark tool with videos such as this, explaining what each scene utilize and what GPU features are being flexed. With a scoring at the end that we can all compare and evolve with new graphical capabilities each year.

Can someone explain to me how exactly does Qixel integrate into Unreal Engine 4 when using it? Can i just download both and have them running? Do they run on a separated .exe?

Edit: Just saw a reply of his, he is on a 2080 Ti, the scene was done in FHD and upscaled to 4K for YT. I was trying to run it in 4K real-time (as it was the quality setting offer by YT). That could explain why it seem like he had something better than a 2080 Ti.

I truly appreciate you putting this all together and open for us to look at. But... 07:00 Incredible how you say it's real-time using RTX technology, when I crack this scene open on my RTX 2080 (i7 10700k/64gb RAM) I barely get 1fps and sometimes my GPU drivers crash trying to keep up. I had to enable DSLL and lower the quality to get anywhere near 24fps. When this video was published the 20 series were the top cards. What setup were you using to get real-time feedback like this? Were you using DLSS optimisation? There's no way this was real-time out of the box. I know Quixel won't respond to this but certainly I'd be interested to hear what other people's experience was, did you have any luck at all with real-time raytracing?
