    Great that it's here!

    I have a question regarding the channel packing support. I want to pack Roughness, Displacement and AO into one RDA texture, instead of using the default RM setup. Is there a way to autopopulate different channel packing configurations than RM?

    In general it would be nice to have some more info regarding the custom master material overrides. Is it enough to simply rename the RM node to RDA for the plugin to know to populate the slot with the RDA texture if the names of the node and texture match?

    Best regards and nice holidays

    Hi,

    The scene in the video above looks lovely.

    Is there any chance I can download the scene above from the store or a tutorial that shows how to achieve this with quixel & UE4.

    Thank you,

    b

    HIDAYET ÇİFCİ It works for me now, first you need to delete all the previous megascans (to be sure everything is fine), then apply your blend material try to adjusting the black and white colors for blend mask first make sure all the layers are black and only base material is shown then adjust your masks, for me R channel will be removed by black mask and G channel with white mask and blue with black.

    4lireza I just saw your comment but i still cant get it to work, I dont see any blend masks material and I am not sure to understand what you are saying about the RGB channel thingy. 

    Do you mind explaining this once again?

    Is there any new livelink coming improving that material blend?

     

    Cheers !

    I cannot log in using new Bridge app on Windows 10 pc. I go to sign in page, insert credentials and click Sign In button. Message - Try 30 days free. Start Trial is the only available button. My current status: 1576 PPoints will refill in: 362 days. I see an option to activate with a licence file but unsure how to get my licence file.

    ThomasPom - Got mine sorted by following steps under another thread - https://help.quixel.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360008550417-Quixel-Mixer-and-Bridge-issue 

    1. Close Bridge, if already running.
    2. Navigate to C:\Users\[Username goes here]\AppData\Roaming.
    3. Delete Bridge and Megascans folder.
    4. Restart Bridge.

    Hi all,

    I have the same question... In Osx, how to select the folder to instal the plugin?

    I suppose the directory would be /Applications/Epic Games Launcher.app/Contents/UE4/Engine/Plugins/ but there is no way to select this folder with the file dialog.

     

    Many thanks !!!
