Quixel Asset Importer for Unity

A tool for the Unity engine that allows you to import, build, and texture zipped assets with a single click. UQImporter detects your render pipeline and dynamically adjusts to ensure your assets are properly imported for a drag-and-drop experience.

Features

The following items are fully supported in the current build.

• Fully import supported zipped assets with a single click
• 8k textures
• Multithreaded texture generation
• Render pipeline detection (built-in, URP, HDRP)
• Opaque and transparent materials (transparency requires HDRP, other pipeline support is planned)
• Mask map and transparency map generation

Limitations

Support for the following items is not currently available, but may be added in the future.

• Nested renderers
• Multi-model, single-texture assets
• Multi-model, multi-texture assets
• Double-sided materials require HDRP (other pipeline support is planned)
• LODs.
• Multi-asset importing (only 1 asset can be imported at a time)
• FBX only

Upcoming Features

The following items are either in-development, or plan to be added.

• Support for LODs
• Multi-asset importing
• Support for non-zipped files
• Support for nested renderers

Tutorial

1. Import UQImporter into your project
2. Open the UQImporter window with menu item: Tools/UQImporter
3. Select a zipped asset to be imported
4. (Optional) Change its name and import destination
5. Click Import Asset

Config

These variables control how UQImporter handles asset imports. Modify them as needed to adjust the import behavior.

// Path to the local install of UQImporter.
string pathToUQImporter;  

// Path assets will be imported to. Changing this also updates the default text in the Destination text box.
string defaultDestinationPath;  

// If true, the asset will be imported to a folder with its name.
bool useNameForDestinationFolder;  

// If true, the asset's material will be set to double-sided.
bool doubleSidedMaterial;  

// Keys that UQImporter should look for when importing and assigning textures.
string[] textureKeys;  

// If true, a message will be logged to the console showing the time it took to import.
bool logCompletionTime;  

// If true, the imported asset will be pinged in the Project window.
bool pingImportedAsset;  

// If true, enables debugging mode.
bool logContext;  

// If true, UQImporter will create folders and sort imported items.
bool cleanDirectory;  

// If true, the zip file of the asset will be deleted upon import.
bool deleteZipFile;  

// If true, multithreading will be enabled where applicable.
bool enableMultithreading;  

NOTE: You can ping your local config file by clicking {More>Ping config file} in the UQImporter window.
NOTE: You can create a new config file by clicking {More>Create new config file} (this will delete your current config file).

Non-Quixel assets:

Non-Quixel assets have limited support with UQImporter. You must ensure your textures use keywords defined in the config.json file in order for UQImporter to accurately recognize them.
