Using Quixel Materials with Displacement in Blender

Learn how to prepare your objects in Blender so that the Displacement Channel from Quixel Bridge materials is automatically created. This is a little complicated because Cycles can only render displacement with experimental features, and the object needs to have a subdivision modifier applied.

[@PrinceBrosnan]

thank you!!, strictly speaking it works without a modifier, the main thing is to turn on the experimental mode as you correctly said. I don't fully understand why I need a modifier if just "subdivision" is enough

[@sammynater4996]

thanks i didnt know all i had to do was set up the geomery and send it again. thanks for the tip

[@weirdscix]

Nice tip, you can now also use displacement in UE 5.2 with Quixel assets now using a workaround discovered by mr3d-dev

[@zenjimusic]

THANK YOU

I believe displacement uses a single value, therefore there is no need for more than a single channel in the nodes.

[@Nathan-ey7jn]

The normal channel is plugged into Emission Strength, and the Roughness is plugged into Specular. This is incorrect, right? You need to manually change it so Roughness > Roughness and Normal Map > Normal

That bit was weird indeed, I was so focussed on getting the displacement I didn't realise this at first. I haven't checked the latest version of the bridge with Blender 4, perhaps they've fixed it by now.

Thanks for the video!
Suggestion - drop the background music. I want to hear you and not listen to a piano right now, sometimes it’s hard to hear you over it :)

[@WPguru]

I hear you! I need to find a way to record my voice and the music separately. Sometimes I stream 3D stuff and when things like this come out I think it's worth keeping, but the music can certainly get in the way.
