Hi Eric, thanks a lot for the showcase! 🙏 Regarding sending Megascans assets directly from Quixel Bridge to Transmutr, by default there is no additional setup to do. The default port in Transmutr is the default port from Bridge. The only thing required is to select "Use Socket Port" as the export option in Bridge. Doing it this way has the benefit of having zero setup to do in Transmutr because Bridge sends rich metadata. So Transmutr automatically knows the correct orientation, how to setup the material, etc. But your video shows a more general way to do it. Your method works with assets from other sources, so that's great 👍 In Transmutr v2, we will actually have this kind of shortcut imports for other content creators, like Poliigon, Polyhaven, etc. Cheers, Thomas
Thanks for the reminder Thomas. It's hard to keep up with all the changes but good call that the direct link from MS Bridge is the way to go. Need to re-test that method for sure!
Very helpful, Eric thank you. I use Megascans and Transmutr myself. Once I have created the concept I than use Vray to output a rendered image and occasionally export from Sketchup and create a render using Blender
Great video! And question, How could I use the move tool, on mobile with the view free version? I’ve been looking everywhere and I don’t see any option to see how to move. I’ve searched it up and everything.
Well firstly I haven't tried SU for Web on a mobile device. We have the iPad version which is optimized for the smaller screen. That said, there is a Move tool icon...it's 6th down on the toolbar. Looks like a red cross hairs. You should be able to use that.
@@SketchUp I’ve tried, I only have 6 options. And the sixth option is the one where you can view your model around you. Would you have any other suggestions though? And thank you for trying to help!

Thanks for sharing your workflow. Glad its not just me taking advantage of these assets and extensions ;)
Megascans is free when importing into unreal engine. Not sure if there is a free path back to SKP but i suspect there is...
Great video!
