Answered: Isn't it time for more manmade scans...?

I feel like it's been over a year that we were told surface like bricks, wood, etc. were just around the corner. All I see lately is tiny little debris, concrete, etc. Are we getting closer to a significant release of useful manmade stuff? From where I stand it looks like the Megascan team is taking it easi(er) and is not really innovating... I do see lots of new scans but at this point I have enough grass, leaves, mud... for a lifetime. As a user I'm not entitled to anything but a little update on the topic would be nice.

Soon™.

TL;DR: There isn't much I can publicly talk about. What you want (and also what I want!) is coming. When is another story. I know the work involved to add those surfaces and models to the library requires a *lot* of automation which has to be 99 to 100% accurate or we won't put it up on the site. When I'm allowed to share more info, I'll be sure to spam every channel I can.

Thank you. Knowing that the team is actively working on this type of surface is enough for me to keep my subscription up

What I have seen of our metal library is really good so far. We want this stuff out ASAP for sure!

This is something im also waiting for, the construction or rubble meshes are really nice. Would be really cool to see more meshes and textures like wood, bricks, tiles, old metals,  etc... There are already a lot of nice surfaces online but it fells like every surface has like 20 clones.

I'm personally not waiting for meshes but more looking after a sharing support for Materials and Smart materials between users. I start to have a ton of custom materials and i really would like to share with the community !

That's something you'd see in Quixel Suite, not in Megascans.
