Understanding the Changes Coming in 2025

This video discusses Quixel Megascans, a popular asset library for Unreal Engine users, and the upcoming changes to its pricing model.

While Megascans has been a free resource offering a vast collection of high-quality assets, it will no longer be entirely free starting in 2025.

Here's a breakdown of the key takeaways:

• Transition to Paid Model: Quixel Megascans will shift to a new pricing structure in 2025.
• Free for Unreal Engine Users: There's a significant perk for Unreal Engine users - they will continue to enjoy free access to the Megascans library.
• Securing Your Assets: The video recommends taking steps to secure your Megascans assets before the changes take effect.

The video provides a helpful guide on how to secure your Megascans assets:

1. Sign in to your account on quick.com/megascan-collections using your Epic Games account.
2. Locate and run the script available on the page to automatically add all Megascans assets to your account.
3. Verify that all 18,876 assets are listed under your "Purchased" category after running the script.

While the introduction of a paid model might be a concern for some, it's important to acknowledge the vast amount of free technology Epic Games has provided to the creative community. The pricing model is likely a way to ensure the continued development and maintenance of these valuable resources.

In conclusion, Unreal Engine users can benefit from the free Megascans library even after the upcoming changes. By following the steps mentioned in the video, you can secure access to all the assets you need for your projects.
