How to INSTALL and use QUIXEL BRIDGE for BLENDER 3.6 ! 

I want to buy you a beer! Thank you!

Do we still use the same plugin though? I just got quixel, so I'm kinda lost

​​@@0x3nt3 yeah, everythings the same. Follow the guide to import the mesh, then follow what I said to import the textures

How to do this quickly.

@@thesameerhussain7378 lol nothing in our life on Earth will ever be...

I usually texture everything in Blender and export it in a folder as a fbx file and import that into UE5. Sometimes you have to do some texturing again in UE5 because the textures dont always import correctly. Hope that helps

Yes it does, thank you. I'll give it a go. Is there a benefit to export it and import it instead of using pipeline to push it straight to UE5?

@@domijust4816 to be honest the few times I tried it the files were really messd up. But maybe with newer updated it works better. In the end use that what works best for you and is the fastest :)

Thanks for your help. I'll try a few different ways!

Are you using blender 4.0 or newer? The textures only export for blender 3.6 they havent updated their plugin for blender 4.0 yet

@@faebetutorials I see thank you

go to prefrences then file path then choose import method to link that should solve your problem

@@AlexFactology01 the color is still not showing up T-T

why?

You can install multiple versions of Blender. I have been using Blender 3.6 to import all this stuff from Bridge. I don't save individual .blend projects for each Quixel asset, I import all assets from Bridge (or large clumps of new assets) and organize them into collections. Then I can append or link objects from the 3.6 project in 4.0+ and all of the materials are already set up. This is a huge time savings over manually rebuilding materials from scratch.

Yes you need to select the .zip folder to install the plugin. No need to open the folder :)

Blender above 3.6 isnt supported right now :/ watch this tutorial that helps: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OmQDzsL-Ddc.html

@@faebetutorials thanks man, do you know when it will support 4.0?

Yes they still didnt update it for blender 4.0 :(

Do we know if this is something that will be updated asap?

@@OllieB-fe9pv no updated info regarding this anywhere..

the reason i had it was because i didnt apply the plugins to megascan or blender

there should be a free option

You can install it on Blender 4.0 but sadly the textures wont get transferred right now. I think they will fix this in the next update

@@faebetutorials simple fix, change the IOR to value more than 0

Do you mean IOR value? and mine is set to 1.45 by default and it doesnt work. I tired the value 1, 0 and 2 but nothing changed. Can you explain more detailed?@@pree3d

Download the 4.0 plugin then the texture will apply after you export

@@giftmokaba4127 on the official website there is no 4.0 version. Where did you find it?

Yes it is :)

me too

me too

Yeah, is there any tip how we can import material

either way, this does not work for blender 4.1...

No materials were brought with it and there are no nodes to plugin the texxtures either. :(

Hey yeah that a bit stupid but they always bring out versions which will stay for longtime. For example version 3.6 is one of them. Close to all plugins and also quixel work in that version. I still understand your point because blender is new and it gets updated alot which results in many plugins not working. My tip is only use newer versions when you really see a benefit otherwise stick to the big versions like 3.6 🙏🏼 hope it helps
