Coloroscopio Posted yesterday at 04:58 PM Share Posted yesterday at 04:58 PM Epic Games aims to take the hassle out of asset acquisition with its new one-stop digital marketplace for buying, selling, and sharing digital content, Fab. The platform gathers several of the company’s existing creative platforms under one roof, including the Unreal Engine Marketplace, Sketchfab Store, Quixel Megascans, and ArtStation Marketplace. For creators used to juggling multiple marketplaces, this integration is positioned as a more convenient way to find exactly what they need, whether they’re working in games, animation, or visual effects. Fab’s library brings together an extensive range of digital content, including 3D models, audio files, environments, animations, and plug-ins. The platform supports multiple game engines, such as Unreal Engine and Unity, along with tools like Blender, Maya, and Adobe Substance 3D. With a real-time 3D viewer built in, users can inspect assets before making a purchase, helping them make informed decisions about what fits their projects. One of the major changes coming with this launch involves Quixel Megascans, a library of 17,000 high-quality 3D assets. While Megascans will remain free under Fab’s Standard License through 2024, Epic plans to introduce charges for the majority of its content starting in 2025, even for Unreal Engine projects. However, once users acquire Quixel content—whether free or paid—they retain access to it indefinitely under their original terms. The platform is also rolling out an 88% revenue share model for creators, aiming to provide more sustainable earnings for those selling assets. Alongside this, Fab is built in with robust search tools, multi-engine compatibility, and integrated access with Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite, ensuring creators can import assets directly into their workspaces without leaving the editor. Epic has also introduced measures around AI transparency, allowing sellers to specify whether their products were made using generative AI. Additionally, creators can opt out of having their content used to train AI models, with Epic pledging not to share or use assets for AI training without permission.
