“Your past acquisitions”
This is precisely one of the major problems, we are currently required to download new mecascans on the fab market but no realistic person is going to come and download a “ZIP” file and have to manage everything manually behind knowing that Quixel Bridge manages it automatically.
You offer us several file formats on Fab, but each format must be managed independently and manually, so we can have the same model several times under multiple texture and mesh qualities grouped in several independent “ZIP” folders. It is completely absurd that to simply obtain the 2k, 4k, or 8k textures for the same model, we must install 3 independent “ZIP” files and have to manually reorganize them in a single folder, knowing that nothing tells us whether we have already installed a file or not, the fact of “adding an item to its library” or acquiring a model does not tell us in any way whether the model has been installed or not.
Hence the essential interest of a bridge. I regularly work in a team on environment projects under Houdini. As it stands, the only alternative available to us is to continue using Quixel Bridge and make do with the Megascans already acquired. It is unthinkable to go through a manual “Zip” file system to acquire new ones via Fab. Offering megascans is very generous and I imagine that each artist sincerely thanks you for it, but Fab does not currently have a realistic option unlike Quixel Bridge for a professional and independent workflow.
