Epic's new marketplace just launched, combining the Unreal Marketplace, Sketchfab, ArtStation Marketplace and Quixel all into one.

How are you finding it so far? Any good? Worth publishing on?
>>
Never heard of it and I'm not motivated to learn more.
>>
I used the script to download every single thing off the quixel marketplace, all 18k items
downloading stuff of quixel is a pain in the ass, it keeps resetting the default fucking settings and I can't just bulk download stuff
Fab is even worse, can't even look at what I've 'purchased', just loads a page endlessly. can't imagine it'll be much better
>>
>>999503
You got any tools to rip stuff from Sketchfab?

Wanna back up some free content there since Epic is gonna shut it down at some point
>>
>buying stuff off of artstation
cringe

>unreal
maximum cringe

>quixel
CRINGE

>I used the script to download every single thing off the quixel marketplace
Good job, you literally wasted your time and didn't actually download anything at all. Good job just mindlessly using a script without even understanding what it does.

Always amazed by the beacons of intelligence that browse this site...

NTA, but as far as I understood it, the script simply adds ties them to your account. Up until FAG launched, whether or not you kept anything was up for debate. The items were free to add to your account, but you still had to add them before you could use them (which is what the script did).
I'm guessing somewhere along the line, Epic caught wind of it, and instead of just saying "No, fuck you. No one gets anything now, even if you bought it legit", just put the "claim all" button on the front page of FAG. Which does the same thing as the script essentially.

So I'm guessing that the people who hit that button or used the script get and keep those assets, but anything new added they'd have to get like regular. I'm sure there's some grace period as well, where after a few weeks the claim all button will be nixed and that newcomers will have to purchase megascans things like normal. FAG gets to pretend it's an "early bird" gift, everyone keeps the shit they got, and no "controversy" springs up from retards on Twitter (and also avoids a useless class-action despite it probably being clear in the EULA that things can be removed/revoked at any time).

Everyone wins, and we all lose because of the cobbled together frankenstein known as FAG.

i only go to unreal marketplace for free monthly assets and will do the same on fab
>>
>>999486
Why did they have to give it such a gay name? Do they think people will find it cool?
>>
>>999554
I think it's based on Sketchfab which Epic acquired back in 2021.
>>
>>999600
>look at how cool we are! instead of sketchfab, we'll call it fab! so vogue! so cool!
>>
>>
>>999503
>can't even look at what I've 'purchased
just sort by seller and then quixel for all the megascans stuff
https://www.fab.com/sellers/Quixel

How do we like FAB so far, fellow chuds? I personally miss unreal marketplace.
>>
>>999676
nobody who is good uses it. Buying assets is cringe.
>>
>>999683
then how am i supposed to get rich by selling assets if no one buys them
pepepanic
>>
>>999686
The goal isnt to sell assests and get rich (wont happen) but to get as much likes on social media as possible
>>
>>999683
>t. brainlet
If you are making a game and doing everything by hand, you are severely limiting your scope. Might be ok for your dime a dozen shitty indie game with uninspiring retro models, but utilizing pre-made assets intelligently can go a long way.
>>
>>999688
heres the thing about making games. You only need one good level. You dont need 100.
>>
>>999689
You are in no position to decide what people should or shouldn't have.
>>
>>999690
100 levels of absolute crap or 1 level of something with substance dude.
>>
>>999691
Thank you for emphatically proving you're a complete idiot with no idea.

that idiot, non-artist itt is defending buying assets with the argument that he can't churn out his tired old crap fast enough without them and that they are "good enough"

meanwhile I am making just one good level of all 100% handmade assets
>>
>>999787
We don't care, idiot.
>>
>>999787
Anon-chan, games do not always consist of one level. You can still make multiple good looking levels with handmade assets, it will just take longer.
>>
>>999787
>if you don't make all your assets yourself that means you must be a non-artist
Ok so you're a moron.

So the marketplace is no longer accessible through the Epic Games Launcher? Seems kinda shit desu.
>>
>>1000096
It's only non-accessible to chuds like you. So yes.
>>
>>1000141
What does that even mean, retard?
>>
>>999520
Or you can work and afford buying stuff
>>
>>1000206
It's an hrt related issue
>>
>>1000209
On my end or his?
>>
>>1000210
On yours.
>>
>>999486
are plugins coming or what?
>>
>>1000221
I thought chuds were antithetical to troons. You're not even getting your own meme lore correct.
>>
>>1000224
Just make your own. Chatgpt/Claude can write 90pc of it.
>>
>>1000226
>Chatgpt/Claude can write 90pc of it.
With data about the new shitty marketplace that it doesn't have because it was trained in like 2022.
>>
>>1000226
>>1000233
>chuds too stupid to write their own plugins
Heh.
>>
>>1000233
write one for the downloaded zip, anon.
the website has no api afaik.
it took me a couple of hours to put together a zip importer that unzips files to project directory, loads in the fbx, cleans up the attributes and creates a material with all the maps hooked up
works for 3d assets and surfaces
if you're just using blender/most renderers gpt/claude should be able to do it all for you
>>
>>1000238
calling out the stupidty of "AI" does not equal the inability to write your own plugin.
