Real-time graphics engines are getting better and better!

(just kidding, that's a real and great photo but at the same time it has an uncanny valley look to it, with that perfectly calculated depth fog, that foreground rock that looks lifted from #megascans,...)

Epic ha movido el contenido de Megascans a Fab, su nuevo mercado de contenido digital, y hasta fin de año todo lo de Megascans se puede añadir a tu cuenta gratuitamente. Son más de 17 000 assets.

Solo hay que iniciar sesión con la cuenta de Epic en https://www.fab.com/megascans-free y darle al botón.

Son assets como escaneos 3D de objetos, texturas, vegetación… ideales para videojuegos, VFX o archviz.

Fab, Epic’s New Unified Content Marketplace, Launches Today

As you know Quixel Megascans will no longer be free, Unreal Engine marketplace replacement Fab. But by the end of this year, if you download all the assets, they will be with you forever for free. Have you downloaded everything yet? How to do it right?

Quixel #Megascans
won't be free anymore starting in 2025, so here's a script which adds all assets to your account. It may be useless but also may not, the writing on the license changes is unclear. Can't hurt though.

My new scene in UE5. This time I decided to do an experiment with different water.
#unrealengine #ue5 #unrealengine #megascans #quixel

The phenomena of rentier supermassive #photogrametry libraries like #Quixel for #Unreal will be the death knell of open world #rpgs. The barrage of highly photorealistic yet poorly designed games is destined to transform the connotation of "uncanny valley" from that of estrangement to that of burnout, as gamers hop from one massive world to the next sporting realistic landscapes with little depth of consideration for the psychological mechanics that define story-oriented games or the dedication required to become intimate with a craft. Meanwhile, the flaws of supposedly flawless #megascans will become apparent to average players within a few years, and one can even imagine the megascan aesthetic becoming associated with interactive smut and reactionary virtual reality in 15 years. Meanwhile those who are genuinely passionate about games will continue to learn to build them from the inside and out, and continue to produce worlds worth imagining, along with faithful audiences.

I made a new scene that looks like reality. I really like Unreal Engine 5 and the Megascans library

Thanks to boundless entertainment for the guidiance on this learning path

Something wrong with the lights (look at the hideous shadow beneath the light source); need to check my Progressive Lightmapper settings. Maybe it’s the UV map…? Argh.

#MegaScans is great though.
