Just go to search, type in pivot > and click on locations only. To have a cleaner bake, we need to explode the mesh. Inside Blender, we have our low poly and high poly meshes split into parts with each part sharing the same origin points. I prefer Marmoset Toolbag because it's way faster and much easier to use but we're going with XNormal because it's free. That means we're going to need to rely on external bakers for our maps.
The thing is, Quixel Mixer doesn't have a built-in baker yet unlike Substance 3D Painter and Designer. Based on the inputs here, we're going to need a normal, ambient occlusion, curvature, and material ID map. To import our baked maps, click on "edit texture sets". To import your mesh, just click on this drop-down list > ”custom model", then click on your mesh. The projects on the left are basically just folders to help keep your assets organized. We will continue to make Mixer even more powerful and intuitive.When you first open up Quixel Mixer, you'll see the project manager pop up. Here are just some of the Mixes made by Quixel artists using Mixer 2018.2.
The speed and quality of blending have been vastly improved - with even more improvements on the way.Ĭopy a paint mask and paste it into another layer’s mask via the paint mask menu (right-click the mask to access).ĭirectly invert hand-painted maps and any masks using CTRL/CMD+I or the Channel Settings panel to the right of the layer stack.ĭiscover new possibilities in material creation Simply hover over the UI elements to see the relevant tips. Tool Tips have been added for all icon-based UI elements. You can now duplicate any selected layer by using either a duplicate layer menu option, or a keyboard shortcut (CTRL/CMD+D). Here are the most notable additions: Duplicate Layers
In addition to the blending modes From Above and From Below, you can now leverage the new Opacity Blend Mode, allowing you to blend a layer based on its opacity instead of its displacement information.Īlong with a ton of bug fixes and performance improvements, a range of small but actively requested features have also been added to Mixer. The combination of Paint and Image-based masks enables you to radically customize and fine-tune the look and feel of your Mixes. Image masks can both be linked to the transform and tiling of the material itself, as well as have its own transform and tiling settings by simply unlinking it. Fully leverage Mixer’s brush system, including importing your own custom brushes for masking.Ĭreate and load a custom image mask to further dictate the blending of your layers, in addition to your hand painted mask. Hand-paint masks on any layer type (surfaces, decals, and solids) and truly sculpt the transition of your layers. We’ve added two types of masks: Paint masks and Image-based masks Paint Masks Masking in Mixer enables you to truly customize the mixing of your layers - both through painting and image-based masking - and combining the two workflows in a fully non-destructive way. Masking is an essential feature of any texturing workflow, and we’re excited to introduce a new, highly flexible take on masking. Introducing Layer Masks, new and improved Blend Modes, Tool Tips, and a range of quality-of-life features, Quixel Mixer now enables an even faster and more customizable material authoring experience. Say hello to Mixer 2018.2 - now with Masking!
