How to grab 18,000+ Quixel Assets while they are free
-
@Rich-O-Brien Yes, it's not very clear. Quixel Mixer has an option to download all acquired assets under the library menu. I have no idea how big it would be. I clicked it and it started downloading but stopped it. You can get a portable 4TB SSD for about $100.
The caveat is they use the word "may" instead of "will." The question is which one is it. By saying "you may lose access" that leaves everything up in the air. I'm not really interested in the 3D assets but instead the materials and Quixel Mixer. Another lingering question is will Quixel Bridge work stand-alone when it's sunset.
Speaking of sunsets. Skecthup will disable 3D Warehouse, Extension Market and location on Sketchup 2022 next year. Anyone that wants to use those will have to use 2024. I already installed 2024 and did a dirty transfer of all my plugins without a glitch short of a couple of plugins. The icons are terrible and the text is hard to read so I ended up putting it on large icons which looks kind of funny. I'm used to 2022 already.

I didn't understand the design choice on the icons either. Whatever about the look thats personal preference. But they fail at the first hurdle in terms of accessibility...

@Rich-O-Brien Glad you brought that up. Maybe we can get Trimble to change this because it's an ADA violation.
Seriously though my eyes are getting worn out with age and 2024's design went in the wrong direction. -

It doesn't bother me too much as I really only see them when its a cursor as I've no SketchUp toolbars active. Someone somewhere likes them though...

I missed all of this, when does the free content go away? am I too late?
