This is huuuuuge! I’m still shocked! :eek: Thank you Epic for doing this for us! :smiley:

OMG!!! guys you are EPIC!!!

Just a little question. Is it okay to use these models for an unreal engine 4 powered game?

One more question: Is it okay to retopologize the meshes (ex: characters or environment assets) for Unreal Engine 4 games as well? or does it violate something?

Of course, if I modify anything I won’t release it publicly or anything. I only want to use it accordingly to the license.

Whoa, this is crazy. Thank you Epic!

This is amazing! Huge thanks to the Paragon devs and Epic for this!!!

Will it include at least some of C++ code/Blueprints ?

I know seeing a project die is hard but thanks everyone at Epic Games for letting Paragon leave on through the community. :wink:

Thank you much Epic!! You guys never cease to amaze me with your willingness to share with the community. Many, many thanks!

Epic you guys are seriously epic !

Thank you!! This is great! I always wanted to play Paragon and was so busy with development that I never got the chance to do more than like 1 practice match. I was so disappointed to hear it was shutting down because I know everyone at Epic put so much love into it.

That said, I am SO excited to dissect these assets and see what I can learn.

Ironically though, I still don’t get to see the one thing I’ve been dying to check out since the livestream a couple years back: Sparrow’s hair shader!!

This is amazing!! It would be awesome if you’d be so kind to offer us the tree and root generator blueprint demo’d in the paragon live stream you did here: Foliage & Parallax Occlusion Mapping Techniques used in Paragon - Live from Epic HQ - Events - Unreal Engine Forums

Thanks Epic!!

Fanfriggintastic!

You guys are the BEEEEEEST! Thank you very much! This is HUGE!

Madness, thanks Epic!!!

Is there an EULA available for those assets? Could they be used with Godot Engine, for example?

Did you not read the OP ?!

im so amazed. its awesome to be able to see these assets up close. thanks Epic you guys are awesome.

Fantastic!! Second Christmas !!!

This is extraordinary! We will put those assets to good use.
I do have to ask out of curiosity tho: Why? Whats made you take this generous decision?
