Rikk The Gaijin - I think you actually answered your own question :) It's thousands of materials that need to be distributed, vast amounts of data. We need front end, back end, payment system, subscription system. There are so many parts that need to work, not to mention that the load on the system will be quite heavy…
I don't think its a problem of getting it done, I think its been a problem of having/paying someone to get it done.. The delivery system isn't that hard to do. Either is payment system. The infrastructure, is setup for things like this, it's just a matter of paying for it. Hell you could make a pretty advance payment…
Turn it into Netflix or Amazon AWS. Then we will talk about fallacies. Wordpress or any other CMS is just a shopfront — easiest part. You can do Amazon-like website with Wordpress, yes. But it's nothing without robotic Amazon warehouses and their shipment system.
And it starts again… If it so simple, guys, release your own software. Or send your resume to Quixel. I'm 100% sure that «closed beta» is just about textures/new software version. As been said, website is missing. You don't even know how much traffic it will generate and how much it will cost. You can make some calculation…
Like I said, I have seen Multi-million dollar companies do exactly that. Ever heard the phrase, why re-invent the wheel? It's not a pseudo system if you custom develop a plugin for WP... Obviously they are not doing that, but I am saying, it doesn't have to be as complicated as it's made out to be sometimes.
Yes there is a closed beta for the suite, but releasing it to the public would not do us any good. We open up for other companies to "borrow" our ideas before we can finish them, or people will get mad because some components doesn't work. In a small controlled beta its very easy to explain that X does not work because of…
Lead - The work is progressing nicely right now, its not a problem with the raw data and the compiling process even if that takes a fair amount of time, the problem lies in the delivery system which is why we unfortunately cant open the beta even in smaller scale. But hopefully we´ll get there soon! threepeasgamertag - I…
I figured as much.... All my point was, is some people are trying to make it out like its some really difficult long draw out process to make a delivery system. I am only trying to point out eh fallacy in that.. Doesn't have to be... If I can turn a WP site into anything, and no one knows its WP, obviously it can handle a…
Falkrum - Good question! The Megascan starter pack will be materials just like the ones included in the suite right now, but 2x2 meter surfaces. The whole system has been drastically improved since we scanned and compiled the materials included in the suite so the new materials will be a lot better. Its quite possible that…
