Library of photoscanned surfaces and plants for games, film, and archviz, with a growing free selection on the Fab marketplace.
Quixel Megascans is a library of photoscanned 3D surfaces, props, and plants (Megaplants) usable in games, film, and architectural visualization. Assets work across multiple engines and tools under the Fab Standard License, not just Unreal Engine, and distribution now runs exclusively through the Fab marketplace after the standalone Quixel Bridge tool was retired.
A growing selection of assets stays free. Since 2025 the rest of the library is sold per asset with no fixed published price, so budgeting depends on which assets a project needs. It suits a 3D artist or small studio who wants ready-made surfaces instead of scanning or sculpting them.

A growing selection stays free, which saves real modeling time, but since 2025 much of the library now requires paying per asset with no published fixed price to budget against.
Assets are ready to drop into a scene under the Fab Standard License across engines, with no scanning or sculpting skill required.
Delivers usable photoscanned surfaces and plants as advertised, but the move to Fab and the loss of the standalone Bridge tool changed the delivery workflow.
A large library of photoscanned surfaces and plants usable across multiple engines and tools, not limited to one renderer.
Neutral score: once downloaded, assets are regular files usable outside Fab, but export or license-portability details beyond that are not covered by the collected sources.
