Quixel Bridge 2018.5 released

Quixel has released an update to its Bridge application for managing, importing and exporting Megascans content. Bridge 2018.5 includes new live link integrations for 3DS Max, Houdini, Toolbag and improvements to Maya and Unity. These plugins enable the user export assets from Bridge with pre-defined materials, geometry setups, and displacement support in a simple click.

This version also introduces channel packing to help optimise assets by reducing the number of texture files required. Bridge now also allows you to import and manage custom assets in addition to Megascans content and use the live link features to export them to platforms and renderers. 

Quixel Bridge is included as part of the Megascans subscription costing $19 a month for a non-commercial hobby license, $29 a month for an indie license or $49 for an indie game license. Pricing is on application for large studios.
