This presentation delves into how Quixel’s asset processing pipeline has evolved over time to provide the optimum experience of utilizing photogrammetry-based assets in real-time use cases for UE/UEFN. Pipeline engineers discuss the custom tools and processes developed to achieve this, along with best practices for setting up a Quixel Megascans asset for best quality and performance.
The session also dives into the performance and quality improvements made to Megascans assets for Fab. This includes a comprehensive overview of the efforts to overhaul the LOD chain into structured tiers, calibrate texture maps for plug-and-play usability, and optimize topology to maximize the efficiency of real-time budgets.
