Quixel is an industry leader in high-end texturing solutions, specializing in art tools for the Games, Archviz and VFX industries. After releasing Quixel Suite in 2013, Quixel tools quickly became a defacto standard for texturing.

In 2016 Quixel announced the public beta release of much awaited Megascans, now the world’s largest online scan library containing thousands of standardized and physically based surface scans, vegetation scans and 3D scans. Quixel simultaneously introduced a new line of standalone art tools, Megascans Studio and Megascans Bridge, for easily mixing and customizing surface scans, and quickly exporting scans to major engines and renderers.

Smart Materials Introducing Smart Materials, a physically accurate and constantly growing library of scan based materials, with measured weathering that reacts to the shape of your mesh. Also taking into account texel density and surface types, Smart Materials constitute the most powerful material technology to date.

Instant PBR Quixel is working with top studios around the world to bring you the most standardized PBR workflow to date. Right Click Calibration makes any material conform to measured PBR values instantly, and DDO ships with calibration support for a multitude of rendering engines including UE4, CryEngine, Toolbag 2 and Unity 5.

Mega Resolution DDO is built for high performance texturing to offer you the most easily managable hi-res texturing workflow in Photoshop to date. Work seamlessly with high-resolution textures up to 8K, and export even higher resolutions at any time with DDO’s powerful UpRes feature

Super Flexible Workflow DDO is built to work with any pipeline while also allowing for completely custom workflows. Set up your own materials, presets and map types, and effortlessly create textures in any style. Whether you are in VFX, ArchiViz or Games, DDO will seamlessly plug into any part of your texture workflow.

DDO Fusion DDO fuses with tools such as UE4, 3ds Max, Unity 5, Modo, CryEngine and Toolbag 2. Streamline turnaround by texturing directly inside the engine of your project, with DDO staying right inside the app. And as long as your own engine has hot-reloading enabled, DDO will snap right into your tool.

Megascans Materials DDO is the ultimate tool for utilizing the full power of the Megascans library. Mix scans to create stunning multi-layered tileables, and let scans empower your entire pipeline, from masking to PBR calibrated reflectance. DDO ships with over 1 Gigabyte of Megascans samples to get you started.

Color to Material Use color ID linking to turn your color map into base materials in just one click, redefining the way you think about color maps. DDO explodes your color map into pre-masked material groups in a matter of seconds, saving you huge amounts of time setting up your base PSD.

DDO Look Dev Texture meshes without UVs in 2.5D with the DDO Look Dev pipeline, empowering concept designers to visualize final quality in Pre-Vis. This texture pass is non-destructive and can be passed on to any 3D artist to be used on the final model. Clients without DDO can always edit the PSD and send it back hassle-free, for a fully dynamic pipeline.
