Quixel MegaScans Trees Are Awesome!!! ... And Free!

Today Epic Games/Unreal Engine/Quixel just released a new early access tree pack, Megascans Trees: European Black Alder. More than just a bunch of trees and shrubs, this pack has multiple LODs, a full season change control system, dynamic wind system and more... and it's just the beginning. It's also free for Unreal Engine users!

6:53 omg you pronounced it flawlessly! This is like that breakthrough moment in The King's Speech.

I've been waiting for some megascans trees with leaves, this is amazing! I hope they have or get some trees with snow on them :)

[NOTORIOUS]

This is huge news. I remember in the beginning I payed for the UE4 subscription, then when that went free I payed for the Speed Tree subscription for 1-2 months and now I just get everything for free. It's just crazy.

Anyway, get well soon man.

I love this channel has its own lore, GFS dropping the F-bomb means Foliage :P

I saw Quixel talk about adding megascans trees far before Unity bought Speed Tree, which might have been the reason Unity ought speed tree, not the other way around

[dann_craig]

I was sad about speed tree. I am happy about this :)

Take care of your health and get well soon... and great video as always!

[Jannacek]

that's amazing. thanks for the video. can you change the colour of the leaves? and the bark? for instance to red?

I think it would take several lifetimes to learn everything in these engines now, they have so much functionality in them

7:13 I would assume when it is released from early access, that the trees downloaded from megascans library would just be normal fbx files, with textures, while the advanced *ahem* shaders are used with the Megascans exporter for Unreal.

man these are some of the most common trees here iv been modeling some myself for my game. there were almost no models of them

[generrosity]

Great video review - always exciting additions and demos 😁 gotta wonder if the commenters 'pronounced' meme is something you like or something you just put up with 🤔

Feel better mike, im sick too i feel you

[MarkOfArgyll]

@6:53 ! I knew you could do it, ya sneaky so n so :D

[renatosardinhalopes]

Imagine if Unreal was the only engine being used... we'd have none of this! All hail the free market and no monopoly engines!

@Gamefromscratch
Interesting video about a great "free offer", which as You say might "wreak havoc" among the independent content-pack-developers... This seems like it could be a "tricky situation" for Epic as You would think that they are "in favour" of having a good "3D party echo system". But at the same time they "do things like this" to "entice/capture" the game-Creators...
At least that's how I see it.
Best regards... And get well soon

Damn!!! Unreal Engine is getting EVERYTHING coming to it!!! I'd like to see more of this stuff come to Godot!!

[AntonioNoack]

In your video, there are multiple annoying, nearly black frames (e.g. at 2:59). On this frame it looks like, only the very basics of the UI were rendered. It would be nice if you could look whether your editing software has a way to filter out these odd frames.

(I am also a creator of a video editor, so I've found a nice new feature to add to mine :))

For some reason the tree two sided materials flicker when in front of the volumetric clouds. It goes away when the clouds are turned off. If anyone knows how to fix that, let me know! Cheers.

Next! Hope Quixel is making a tree modeler😄.
