#Hey so for those using AMS (& even @

So I'm in the process of adding Quixel Support. This does ADD 16k assets to your library if you accepted the Quixel giveaway at the end of 2024.

#

So first of all the speed of the program remains, even with 20k of assets being loaded at startup, it starts still instantly. (I honestly was a bit worried about this, becuase 20k vs 3k is a massive jump, but I've been using it with the default of loading all assets at startup to test for the last several days).

So the question is by default would you LIKE to have these assets showing by default, or would you rather click the "Include Quixel" button in the new filter box, so that it loads the extra 16k of assets into memory. The filter box now does have added support showing ONLY quixel, or only Fab, etc. But the main question is when you load of the app, do you want to see Quixel & Fab (like this screen shows where it is almost 20k in assets). Or would you rather see just the normal fab assets, and you click a filter option to add the quixel to the data?

#

Second for those who did have Quixel accounts in the past, I need as many of you to do me a favor that you can -- I'm trying to use the process of elimination to figure out WHAT assets were given away for free during the giveaway. As I'm sure many of you have also claimed the newer free Quixel assets over the last couple years n Fab.

So first, goto https://quixel.com/megascans/ then click the login at the top right corner and login. Once logged in I need you to goto this url: https://quixel.com/v1/assets/acquired
And please DM me the JSON file it created. There is no identifing information in it, it basically is 1.5 MEG (for those who did the giveaway) file that lists Quixel Id, resolution, and your access.

#

The current working design is AMS will ship with a couple pre-generated Quixel datasets so that AMS does NOT have to d/l 20k worth of asset information for Fab, as that would cause your computer & network to be VERY busy for a fairly long time... It will simply "import" this data set when it detects your account has got the quixel giveway in the past, or if you haven't accepted it, it will disable the check -- so it should be a one time query for the main data set. For the "sub" dataset (i.e. all the new items, since the giveaway), it will at my current calculation take only 25 calls which should be done once per day on the background thread.

So the more data information I can get from the "acquired" list above means the shipped dataset of items got during the giveaway is more accurate.

#

( Fyi, as a minor asside, Brifsstar, the next version of AMS does support logging in via authkey, if you prefer it over the epic login dialog. 😀 )

#

Thanks in advance to those who answer my question and DM me the "acquired" json, both are helpful in figuring out the best way to release the next version...

But I was logged in 🤔

That is really strange, afaik, once you are logged in on the Quixel site, that API end point is available as it is called by different parts of the site to verify you can d/l assets.

Well I just tried again and as you can see I have access to some quixel stuff.

Iteresting, it is now givng me the same error...

Same unauthorized error

#

Maybe they blocked that check after they saw you doing it lol

Actually, I just figured it out. Rats, their XHR request is using a Bearer token behind the scenes, I didn't realize it. You can see it in the devtools, fine. However, your screen shot I think has actually answered the question that I needed answered.

#

It is identical to mine. According to it, you own 18, 876 items. The JSON that I get from Quixel is 18876 items long. So effectively they never added any new items to the Quixel site after the giveaway, and we that accepted got everything on the Quixel site.

#

So thank you @fast pasture - that was extreamly helpful and confirmed what I was hoping was the case...

#

Np!

FYI, you are correct that Fab is missing some quixel items, it is around 1,600 items is what I have detected so far. AND there are some items according to the JSON we are supposed to have access to that FAB doesn't think we own (I've found 2 by accident so far). Plan on running a check againt all 18k items later today and see how many we "don't" own on FAB but do own on Quixel. 😉
