Building Worlds with UE5 and the Quixel Ecosystem
summary
Slides and clips demonstrate that photogrammetry pipelines (Quixel + RealityCapture) and a sketch‑phone app RealityScan produce usable assets in UE5, including Nanite quality meshes, and stitch into LED‑stage scenes and Megascans environments. The library already exceeds 16–18k assets. Tests show mobile scans converted to mesh‑to‑MetaHuman in under an hour, field shoots in Sweden yield assembled realtime scenes, and RealityScan aims for public release to let hobbyists and pros alike scan and deploy content quickly.
