quixel swatches for modo users

repete

Hello all,

just started converting the swatches for modo users and made a viewport for easy ID maps. Select meshs/groups or polys drag and drop = done

It's going to take me a few days but it's getting there


will update this post with instructions and the download.

Cheers

Omg........ any Eta? Can you do a rapid video tutorial on how to use it? Ty a lot friend

A complete Modo to Quixel to UE4 tutorial is in the works and I really need the swatches in modo especially on models with many parts. The view port is simple and should work on all versions of modo, really up to you how you integrate it but you can also use the preset browser as that's all it is with a 3d model view. It's been a bloody repetitive chore but I am well over the half way mark, just a bit longer

will post a quick vid on how to use it but it's very simple !!!

All done !

download the materials here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ua4f56aw0pvi6kl/ModoQuixelMaterials.zip?dl=0



My head is done in as I just finished this, will post a quick vid and the view-port tomorrow. Do not add these to your assets folder, keep them outside it and use the (add path) function in the preset menu.

Downloaded Now we want the video Modo to quixel with your plugin (i love it)

Here is the view port download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ey7w73yvflmqdpd/RenderVP.CFG?dl=0
Add the file to your config folder.
To use it on 801 add a new viewport tab and select QuixelMaterialVP
The same goes for 901.
If you want you can add a new "pallet" or "window" and use it that way.
If you get stuck I will post a quick vid tomorrow.

Can you make a video on how to prepare mesh High poly and low poly from modo (with your lovely plugin) to quixel ?
I'm a bit confused about the right method

Hi Repete, i'm not able to configure your Quixel Material Vp. I add cfg file in config folder, then I create a new palette layout, but I don't see the Quixel Material VP in properties...

Can you help me please? 

I'm modo 901 sp1 on Osx

You have to add it via the "Viewport Widget Menu" the little arrow head pointing east:

I cant get this to work either. I download the viewport cfg, put in my roaming config folder, go layout - Palettes - New Palette. A new blank window appears, then click on the little triangle and cant see Quixel Material VP in properties as above

I am a dullard

Thanks

Piers

There was a specific line in the cfg file that probably caused the vp not to show up, it should be fixed now.

How can you export model from modo? I try obj with UV ,but i cannot assign materials to color ID output (after baking it)...

Do You assign materials then export? Can you help me in modo to quixel workflow with your plugin?

  in older versions of Quixel the color ID map that you created with the swatches where used to setup your materials but in the new version this is not the case. You still have to select materials manually which is more flexible imho. The swatches are basically just colors and you don't really need to use them as you can already do this easily in modo.
