@@wyattbiker I'm pretty sure you get ownership of all of them when you sign up. Would be pretty silly otherwise, and likely would have been stated very clearly if that was the case. The fact that it wasn't clearly stated is what leads me to believe I'm just over-thinking this lol 😂
It's cool that they are giving them away but to use any of these in a game I assume you will need to do some considerable poly reduction, considering a wooden bucket is over 300MB in size.
@@PabloYaos Do they? As far as I saw on the website, all assets consistently offer four LOD levels (Raw, High, Medium, Low). I guess four is still pretty good though, but the available Low model is still too high - they will need some more processing to get an LOD4 or LOD5 or more. At least those are less sensitive.

The day has finally come, this is great! I noticed they mentioned plans to introduce Roblox and Minecraft formats. I mean, Quixel assets have been pirated on Roblox for years now, but I am curious how these Minecraft formats would work. What does a Minecraft format even mean?

I use quixel megascans alot but my problem is thier size in bytes. Some of those assets, even low quality, are tens of mb in aize and your project will quickly become significantly bloated and huge in size. I find that I have to import most of their assets into blender and do significant rework that doesn't affect texture or geometry but cuts their size by 90% in some cases. Those assets are NOT optimized and many times, its faster just to make them from scratch in blender.

Hi! I have a problem accessing my Epic Games account on the FAB website. The registration page does not load or the error message "Unfortunately, something went wrong" appears. If you also have a similar problem, please share it. It is important for me to know if this problem is individual or widespread, and if there are ways to solve it. Thank you in advance!
Heh, trying to claim them brings you to a page that just says "sign in" and clicking it just reloads the page. Maybe I'll try again in a week and see if their site is working yet.
I agree to download the fbx only for unreal engine by mistake, is this is a problem if i download them and use in unity? There will be some different in quality? Because i agree by mistake that i will use only for unreal engine, this is what quixel ask me..and i presw by mistake
It would appear that all the assets have been downloaded, but they do not appear in the Fab.... library. How can I be sure I've actually downloaded them?
would like to know too, i tried the common hazel, and it told me -Unreal Engine files are available in your Vault in the Epic Games Launcher, or the Fab UE5 Plugin.
im bit confused, in my library i have some the tree ones, like Common Hazel, if i click on download, i get a popup -Unreal Engine files are available in your Vault in the Epic Games Launcher, or the Fab UE5 Plugin. So this is still only for Unreal Engine ? or i can load them in unreal and export them out for other engines ?
Honestly, if you're a 3D artists it doesn't really make a huge amount of sense to make assets for games anymore, instead better to make assets for 3d Printing where you can charge 3X for the same product and you don't even need to provide a commercial license.
i massively disagree. most of these assets are made for a specific style and purpose and (no offence) tend to end up in asset flip type games. and not every game runs in unreal engine, sure photo realistic art is getting easier but Good and specialized art that matches a specific aesthetic and functionality is not something you can buy from some asset store. big studios know this so they make their assets from scratch even when stuff like this exists.
I know you're going to be asked repeatedly... Cause I see that I "own" them... but I don't have to "claim" each one BEFORE 2025 in order to retain "ownership"?
I would think they should work like any other assets, as long as you claimed them they should now be linked to your account forever. It actually wouldn't make much sense for Epic to require you to download them all because they would have tons of people overloading their servers trying to download hundreds of gigs of assets.
@@relaxingandedits5340 you just need to click claim and they are all yours soon they will be added to your library after epic games figures out a good way for you to manage them
So do I have to only claim them or do I have to download them to my hard drive. Before fab launched I think they said you can use free assets that you downloaded to your drive. Did they went back on that and made it so that you just have to claim them to keep them ?
They can be used in Godot? Some of the assets are only available in UE formats but a large amount of them can be imported into Godot without too many issues.

Awesome, I hope this site turns out to be the big site for general art needs. I don't like having to bounce between stores (Blender, Patreon, Unity, Unreal) looking for what I already purchased.
okay we needa stop acting like nanite is the ultimate solution to lods, nanite will not lower the ram usage if your model has a billion vertices, just increased render times. ram is very important to performance, and people are forgetting that.
It's the same problem that nearly all tech has always had where Microsoft devs would have 8gb of ram when the average man would have 256 mb so microsoft office would buffer like crazy and a manager went around ripping ram out of machines I would say nearly all people developing have 32 64 96 or 128 gb of ram while the average person has 8 16 or for really high end machines 32
Thinking about it, just from a business competition stand point. You would be putting any future big projects at a big disadvantage, by not doing this. 🤔

It's this type of sentiment ("Can't wait for all the asset flips!") that made it much easier for Unity to justify not releasing the Gigaya project.
