Those who have used Quixel suite for a long time are used to that inactive, little green button to the right of dDo. But after a very long period of 'imminent release' chatter, that button went bright green in September. It now sends you to the Megascans website: Quixel's latest offering in its series of excellent tools.  

Green is a fitting colour for Megascans, as it is a website filled with an incredible amount of biomes, surfaces, 3D scans and atlases – all prepped, scanned, and ready for use in any renderer or engine, and with a fresh content delivery rate somewhere between enthusiastic and insane.
