Daz Blender Tutorial Using Quixel Megascans in Daz3D

[Dilly_]

Hey everyone, just wanted to share a brief explanation on how to bring in Quixel Megascans to Daz.

7. Import the file in Daz

That's it, you now have access to an entire library of high-quality Megascans in Daz for free.



Maybe this will be useful for people wanting unique assets in their VN that aren't commonly used, or otherwise are looking for high-quality assets.
