Quixel Suite to Unity, Best Practicies?

Joshuagilbreath

Good Afternoon all! I have a question concerning the best practices of using your Quixel Suite texture maps in Unity. Currently I have several props ready to be used in Unity.

The texture maps that I have generated are as follows -

• Maps
• Albedo
• AO
• Gloss
• Normal
• Specular

I know that Unity will only use Diffuse(Albedo) and Normal maps. What is the best way to incorporate the remaining maps for use in Unity?

Do you simply use photoshop to merge the AO, Gloss and Specular into the Diffuse(Albedo, or is there a Unity shader that I am unaware of that will incorporate the AO, Gloss and Specular?

Thank you!
Josh

If you're only going to use standard Unity shaders, you could put AO in your diffuse and use the Bumped Specular shader.

Depending upon what you're using this for, though, you may want to look into writing custom shaders or using Shader Forge to build some.

You could purchase marmoset skyshop in unity asset store. It comes with lots of shaders that could support those maps generated from quixel suite. And your asset will look amazing with this tool.

This skyshop also works with shader forge btw

Thanks for the insight Swizzle, I will be speaking with our devs and get a little more info about their rendering intentions. Thanks again!

If you are not limited to the vanilla shaders , ddo can export to marmosets skyshop inside unity. If you have to use the built in shaders, i would do what Swizzle said but using the bumped reflective shader with a blured cube map.
