Epic giving away free 6-month trials for substance painter and modeler is a bad sign for Quixel Mixer’s future development.
I really liked Mixer because it is free and backed by epic games. It is sad Mixer haven’t received any update since 2022.1.1 beta.
Don’t know if it’s possible to rebuild it on Unreal Engine, rather than it being based on Unity, but I hope one day we will receive an email containing ANY news about Quixel Mixer.
I understand Mixer has a huge competitor - substance painter, but that never stopped Twinmotion and Reality Capture from getting constant updates.
I started learning texturing with mixer but substance designer and painter is just light years better and they don’t rely on a specific library of assets to use.
If you are worried about adobe subscriptions then you can buy permanent versions on steam for 150 bucks.
Substance suite is something I use super often now and can’t work without.
Hi @A.Jeiranashvili . Mixer will remain free for individuals and teams. In the future, we plan to release a final version of Mixer that features an updated asset library, replacing the current online Megascans library in the existing version of Mixer. Please note that this release will not include any additional feature updates or improvements.
