Quixel Mixer 2020.1.2 Brings New Smart Materials

Previously, the team introduced 3D texturing and Smart Materials support in the first Mixer 2020 release. The latest update includes 50 new Smart Materials, a new Asset Manager, and a new installer for regular releases of Smart Material packs. Quixel will add new features including Multiple Texture Set Support later this year.

The biggest thing in this version is the addition of 50 premium scan-based Smart Materials that let users create high-quality assets. "Mixer’s Smart Materials are crafted based on your requests by Quixel’s art team, using Megascans to ensure a world-class look and feel to your assets, instantly," wrote the team.

You can now use metals (aluminum, oxidized iron, and gold), fabrics (denim, linen, and camo gear), plus a number of plastics, rocks, woods, and leathers. 

The Smart Materials workflow gives you full procedural control, so you can tweak every aspect of an asset’s wear and tear.

There's more, of course. Learn all about the latest update here.
