Epic Games, the creators of Unreal Engine, today launched Fab — unified content marketplace bringing together the Unreal Engine Marketplace, Sketchfab Store and Quixel Megascans. The platform offers a one-stop destination where creators can discover, buy, sell and share digital assets.
This new open marketplace supports all types of creators with content for use across Unreal Engine, Unity 3D, Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) and other digital content creation tools. Unreal Engine developers will be able to access Fab directly in the Unreal Engine 5 Editor, and Fortnite creators can discover Fortnite-ready assets through Fab in UEFN. The Fab integration in UEFN is undergoing maintenance and will be back online shortly, and the Fab integration in the Unreal Engine 5 Editor is coming soon.
Fab Highlights at Launch:
- Extensive content library that includes top-quality 3D assets, VFX, environments and more from amazing creators and studios like KitBash3D, Dekogon Studios and Leartes Studios.
- Use ‘Channels’ to find content compatible with Unreal Engine, UEFN and Unity.
- Choose the license that meets your needs. Fab offers a Creative Commons license and the Personal or Professional tier of a Standard License. The Fab Standard License enables you to use the assets, including Megascans, in any game engine or tool you want.
- Acquire the Quixel Megascans library for free through the end of 2024 — free for use with all engines and digital content creation tools. With one click on this new page, you can claim over 17,000 Megascans, including 10 packs with brand new scene files from Quixel. And be on the lookout for free sponsored content from Quixel and other creators on Fab.
- Make informed decisions about what you want to download or purchase. Inspect 3D assets with Fab’s next-generation real-time 3D viewer to know what you’re buying before you make a purchase. You can also see on each product details page if a product was created with the help of generative AI, and you can use filters to include or exclude generative AI products from your searches.
- Find assets that are right for your audience. Mature content is allowed on Fab.com, but individuals whose parents have enabled age rating restrictions using Epic’s Parental Controls will not be able to access Mature content. You have the option to ‘show,’ ‘blur’ or ‘hide’ Mature content on Fab. (Mature content cannot be used in UEFN since these assets exceed Fortnite’s maximum age rating.)
- Redeem a free 6-month subscription for Adobe Substance Painter and Modeler. Find out if you’re eligible here.
What’s Next
Over the coming months, Epic will continue improving the user experience, adding new content and shipping new features. The dev plans to introduce new file formats including Roblox and Minecraft assets, access to MetaHumans, a new listing review system, product specific FAQs, a pipeline to make it easy for creators to publish content directly from UEFN to Fab, and new analytics to enhance the seller experience.
In 2025, Epic will make a cross-section of the Megascans library free to all users through Fab, regardless of which engine or platform they are using. This starter pack will contain more than 1,500 hand-picked assets, including a variety of popular 3D assets, plants, trees, surfaces, decals, imperfections and the 10 packs Quixel released on Fab’s launch day.
