  • Modelling a bathroom, should every tile be a component?
    Give Quixel Mixer a go; pretty intuitive and can get great results. Source: about 1 year ago
  • What programs do I use to create custom NPCs/characters/3D assets in Unreal Engine 5?
    Quixel Mixer is the texturing system from the makers of Megascans, who are now owned by Epic and so most of their stuff is free for UE users. Really nice for building textures based on the Megascans library. Source: over 1 year ago
  • One day, I'll own a classic MG. For now, I'll settle with a 3D modelled one (pics in comment)
    To me, the real strength of Painter is the use of its baked maps to control effects like dust or ambient occlusion, and obviously the ability to paint details directly on the mesh with a workflow similar to Photoshop's. If detailing is what you're after, I'd definitely recommend to try it out, or have a look at it's free alternative : quixel mixer. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Does Mark Zuckerberg Not Understand How Bad His Metaverse Looks?
    If you want to save yourself some hassle with having to work on a 3d texture in purely 2d space, I've heard Quixel Mixer is good, and free. I have not used it, I myself use substance painter. Source: over 1 year ago
  • How do you guys make textures for 3d models?
    Quixel mixer is free and super cool https://quixel.com/mixer. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Stretched Textures
    It's not. Alternatively you could use Quixel Mixer. Same concept, but free https://quixel.com/mixer. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Complete beginner to game deving here, and I have some questions:
    There are only three options when it comes to art creation. You can create 3D models by yourself, buy/ download some asset or hire people to work for you. Learning how to make 3D models isn't that complicated, though! You can just download Blender and Substance 3D Painter (or Quixel Mixer, a Substance free alternative) and start to make cool things! For high quality tutorials on Blender, I will suggest Blender... Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Game asset workflow
    You can try Quixel Mixer, https://quixel.com/mixer, it's free and similar to substance painter but uses layers to add texture kind of like photoshop layers. You'd make your asset/model in blender then import it and maybe import normals/ambient occlusion/etc if you baked them from a high poly model. It's pretty easy to use as they have a lot of tutorials on their youtube https://youtube.com/c/quixeltools and the ui... Source: about 2 years ago
  • Can I use Clip Studio to make Textures for 3D models?
    The sensible way is to use some specialized 3d painting software. I work at a small indie studio and we mostly use Blender and Substance. But if you are looking for something free I've heard good things about Quixel Mixer, which is owned by Epic Games: https://quixel.com/mixer. Source: about 2 years ago
  • FREE Tools for Game Developers. Hmm Yummy 🤤
    Not according to their website. Unreal users get access to extra megascans from their library but anyone can use the program and the included megascans for free with anything. They just can't use the wider array of megascans. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Plane keeps linking to this guitar Im making?
    There is Quixel Mixer (some commercial restrictions as it's part of Unreal family) (https://quixel.com/mixer) and totally free Armor Paint (https://armorpaint.org/). Source: over 2 years ago
  • Is substance painter necessary?
    Substance Painter is so much more powerful that it's pretty much essential. Although Quixel seems to be a popular (and free) alternative. Source: over 2 years ago
  • I am creating a track texture myself, but I would like to achieve something like on the second picture with all those skid mark details and reflections. But I don't know how to start. Could anyone help me?
    Or Quixel Mixer, if you don't want to spend money on Substance Painter. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Question: Appearance Colours
    You can make your own or import from Quixelmixer. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Alternatives to substance painter for someone who can't run it?
    You could look into either Quixel Mixer https://quixel.com/mixer, Armor Paint https://armorpaint.org/, or 3D Coat https://3dcoat.com/. Source: over 2 years ago
  • tHiS LoOkS lIkE a Ps2 gAmE
    If you want a good shock look at Megascans, Quixel Mixer or Metahuman Creator. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • Is Substance Painter still worth it?
    What about Armor Paint or even Quixel Mixer ? Source: almost 3 years ago
  • F360 Challenge for the month of June, lets call it #4
    Those assets from the Megascans library, the Mixer is just a standalone procedural texturing software with "connection to Megascans". So if you need just a textures/assets here is the megascans link Also if you want "import/export menager" then you need Bridge. (i'm using mixer and bridge) 🙂. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • bonjour ppl hope u like my grapple gun
    Use https://quixel.com/mixer to texture your models. Source: almost 3 years ago
  • 🤩Ubisoft has released Mixer 1.0, its in-house real-time collaboration system for Blender
    Really cool that they're sharing but do they really have to call it mixer?! It's really going to confuse discussions of it given Quixel Mixer is a popular 3d art tool. Source: almost 3 years ago
