help Quixel Mixer FAQ

Is Quixel Mixer free to use?

Yes, Quixel Mixer is free to download and use, especially after Quixel was acquired by Epic Games in 2019. Users with an Epic Games account can access the software along with Megascans assets for use in Unreal Engine projects at no cost.

Can I use Quixel Mixer without Unreal Engine?

What is the difference between Quixel Mixer and Megascans?

Megascans is the library of scanned real-world materials and 3D assets, while Mixer is the software tool used to blend, layer, and modify those scans into custom materials. Mixer gives you the ability to combine elements like moss on stone or rust on metal into seamless textures.

Can I mix my own custom textures with Megascans in Quixel Mixer?

Yes, Mixer supports importing your own textures to layer alongside Megascans assets. This allows artists to combine proprietary scans or hand-painted textures with the Megascans library for hybrid material workflows.
