Answered: Quixel Colours - Failing to bake out a map

DarthDonut

I've been following the tutorial video for Quixel colors, but as soon as I try to render out my materials using TURTLE, all I get is a solid blue map. The render is "complete", but the default blue never goes away.
These are my current render settings on TURTLE. As far as I can tell, they are identical to the ones used in the tutorial video, except I'm baking in 2k resolution. I tried in 4k and the problem persisted.

Hey Darthdonut,

Check the outputs tab and make sure you've enabled Albedo!

Thanks,
Scott.

Hey Sythen, thanks for responding.

In my outputs tab under Shader Options I have checked Albedo, but the problem persists.

Still happens after I restarted, too.

Make sure you go the the Target area and select "Bake selected surfaces" - This should solve it for you.

Is there a color map available or a list of color codes of materials, I'd like to try assigning those colors to defuse in modo and export out as an OBJ to see if Quixel assigns the materials automatically.

Hey Midnight, in the swatches folder of the Quixel Suite 2 directory there is an fbx you can import to Modo and color sample from its materials.
Alternatively there's a photoshop swatches file. Modo is something we plan for the future of Quixel Colors and will post in the Quixel Tools Group our updates regarding, 

I hope this helps,
Scott.
