We’re kicking off our first Quixel Mixer contest. We want to showcase the community’s best work using the all-new Mixer.

Here’s how:

Contest guidelines (UPDATED May 26)

  • Create the best looking diorama in the renderer or engine of your choice using materials made with Quixel Mixer
  • Create 1-to-2 material Mixes in Quixel Mixer (you can use as many materials as you want per Mix), and then use these same (1-to-2) created material Mixes as the ONLY tiling material in your render
  • You may use your own custom 3D assets and no more than 5 Megascans 3D assets as flourishes in your render. A Megascans asset containing multiple variations (such as a plant, scatter assets, or debris) still counts as just 1 asset. Also — if you, for instance, create your own 3D plant from a Megascans atlas, it does not count as one of the max 5 Megascans 3D assets
  • So modify Megascans assets as you please — there are extra points for creativity
  • You are also free to use your own custom brushes in your work
