There is no Quixel blend material feature in FAB ?

Hey,
I have been using Unreal Engine for a while now, and I noticed since the transition to FAB that the Quixel blend material feature can’t be found. I have looked everywhere, even online without any luck.
And even though I know I could do this manually, having this feature would save me a lot of time.

Does anyone have the same issue? Or know where I can find this feature? Or is the (current) solution to just do it manually?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Gamy Blue,

If you install the Quixel Bridge plugin, you can found the “M_MS_SurfaceBlend_Material” in Content browser. I found it in this path : Engine/Plugins/Bridge/Content/MSPresets/M_MS_SurfaceBlend_Material/M_MS_SurfaceBlend_Material.uasset

This is just the master material and you need to change textures and parameters manually.

Hope you can fix your problem :smiley:

Hi SonNam01, and thanks for your helpful reply above. Now in May 2025, I have located the M_MS_SurfaceBlend_Material folder, but I am unable to load or import the uasset file. The drag-and-drop method generates a “Failed to Import” error, and the Content Drawer’s Import button won’t recognize the uasset file in the folder. Any advice? I assume the Bridge plugin was updated when 5.5 was released, so perhaps that accounts for any changes. On the other hand, since the SurfaceBlend_Material is present in the 5.5 installation, I assume that blended materials are still possible in 5.5. Thanks in advance if you have any suggestions for this noob.
