Megascans Importer - works with HDRP and Raytracing?

Hi guys

I'm just looking at material options out there for ready made materials and both substance and megascans look good with attractive indie pricing subscriptions. I'm leaning more towards megascans. Anybody knows if they're keeping the Unity importer script updated and if it works with raytracing? Would be sad if they became slack towards Unity after being bought by those "other" guys.

Anybody use it with Raytracing or with Unity in general?

I'm hoping to use it with Unity 2020.2 and 2021.1 with raytracing....

 

The megascans author is really responsive if you don't get a reply here.

 

Thanks @hippocoder , could you point me to a link perhaps please? I tried the quixel forum, but the Unity section on there seems like a ghost town...

 

I emailed them a while back got a quick reply, however I do know from my own experiences, the megascans stuff works fine. It allows you to configure exactly the kind of packing and export you require so it's pipeline neutral. You can download their free samples from their web based interface.

Your bigger worry with megascans is having a lot of ssd storage

 

Just wondering if you ever got megascanes working with unity

 

Hi, yes got it working
I had to also edit one if it's files to include my Unity version.

Still, after that it's a bit hit and miss. They don't update the importer often enough and so its tricky to use it with latest Beta or Alpha versions of Unity

Thank you, I will give it a try.

 

Thank for the help, I have it mostly working. Do you mind sharing an image of your texture packing setting in bridge. I’m suspicious I have mine wrong

 

It's often outdated -- most of the time it doesn't work in my experience.

 

I feel like unity integration is a second class citizen compared to UE.

that being said the texture packing is nice. I just don’t know what is what eg is roughness map the same as smoothness ? Do I used linear etc. Be amazing to see an image of someone’s packing export setting and any other tips to get this looking good. Something feels off in my renders

 

Roughness is typically the inverse of smoothness.

 

Here is what I did, i only have Krita so no way to adjust channels after export AFAIK. Please any help would be appreciated

 

I don't think you need 16 bit per channel, 8bit should be fine.

You shouldn't use Roughness, you should use smoothness / glossiness, or somehow inverse the roughness channel.

I believe linear for everything is correct, but also make sure to disable sRGB in Unity.

 

Here's how to inverse a channel in Krita

This is fantastic thank you
