Re: Is Quixel cheating?
Honestly I think there is a big misconception here about what dDo actually is and what it can be used for. The base core is a handy system for defining base values and working with layer masks across all of your texture maps. If you want to, you can completely disregard the megatexture scans and use your own values, you… -

Ddo will never save you from making bad art:) There are so many components that come together to make something amazing. Anyone could make something horrid with minimal effort in ddo.

Re: Is Quixel cheating?
Yeah this is pretty much it. I think its really important to understand what dDo is. First and foremost its a toolset to automate a lot of the grunt work artists would normally do by hand.
