The Quixel team has introduced a new tool called Mixer, which is an artist-friendly goodie for creating environment textures extremely quickly.
First, let’s start with this demo which shows the creation of a post-apocalyptic street, by mixing high-quality source scans in fun and creative ways:
Mix any number of scans to create new and completely customized materials, and leverage the fast and powerful physical layering system to quickly build larger enriched surfaces. Get creative with ease, and be in charge of your scans.
Quixel Mixer is designed from the ground up to be extremely fast to pick up. Create photo-realistic surface mixes in minutes, and export your results at up to 8K resolution. With Quixel Mixer, you never have to choose between speed and quality.
Working with the highest quality scan data to drive your mixes guarantees you will achieve photo-realistic results instantly. And with Quixel Mixer, the Megascans library becomes virtually limitless.
The software, which will be free to all Megascans subscribers, will be presented in detail at GDC 2018. Stay tuned for more details
