edit: the original instruction may be useless now or only partially useful. What to do now:

1. Claim assets here on FAB:

https://www.fab.com/megascans-free

2. then you'll have to check what is owned or not. It seems like everything is claimed with one button click by the first link/image, but double check later on assets that you really like.

Also, the Megascans are free to claim for Unity users as well now.

--- original instruction (before Fab launched): so, Fab is the new upcoming marketplace for multiple websites. Because of it, free (for unreal engine users) Megascans in Quixel should be purchased to be used later. Here's a quick way to add all 18000+ assets without downloading them:

You'll probably need to run it MULTIPLE times and from incognito window. For me I got error on login from not-incognito. You can also get "forbidden" error after running the script multiple times, but it will be ok again if you use Quixel Bridge in Unreal engine and click for example to open your account page.

I had to run the script total maybe 8 times, on 1st run it only saved 3000 assets and was getting stuck on each next page for a bit. Then I got "forbidden 403" error, and had to run 2 more times for last few assets.

It seems to have worked now. Otherwise you'll only have assets you already used in the "purchased" tab.

To check if you got them all, go here:

The Perseverance Mission

Made in Blender using Quixel Megascans

These articles show the development processes behind games that used the Quixel Bridge and megascans:

The common theme as to why studios used megascans is a mix of ease and quality. With just a few clicks you can have a high quality asset in your game in an instant. This helped the developers when making assets for more general things like tiny plants and animal skulls in Cyberpunk 2077 for example.
