Legacy Shop – An Introduction to our Packs

Lots of people get confused with our products and rightly so. Why are we the only people doing the Pay once for a pack and get free textures if we update or add to that pack?

Think of it this way, Quixel you pay £18-21/month but get access to 10-30 High-quality textures. With us catch it early pay £5.50 for around 5-10 textures and then if we upgrade the pack, you have paid £5.50 for 30 textures. So they are almost like baby subscription services though you only pay once.

So far on our VFX Hut journey, Bricked Volume 1 started its life with 10 textures, we updated it twice and now it has 20 textures. Surface Imperfections Volume 1 was released and has since been updated 3 times, which gave people who had already bought it another 4 new textures.

So we are updating them very slowly admittedly but from the get-go its priced right and then it’s a bonus if we add extra stuff to the packs.

We are currently looking into ways we could do the same for our VDB volumes however there are cost/bandwidth problems for us whilst we are still in our early stages.

Resolution:

Our Surface Imperfections vary in resolution depending on what we are capturing. Most maps will be between 4K and 3.5K, but none should be under 2K - allowing for maximum quality as captured within the real world.

Type:

We currently have two types of imperfection maps, Still (Imperfections) and Video (Motion Imperfections). Our Motion Imperfections are captured at 8K using a RED V-RAPTOR Camera.

Motion Imperfections:

We provide a 120fps processed MOV & Standard speed processed in PNG Sequences, HQ MP4 and MP4. If they are too slow feel free to speed them up using the 120fps footage.

Please Note: Most Motion Imperfections will not be seamless

Resolution:

Most VDB Volumes are Low to Medium Resolution, meaning they are designed for Mid to Wide shots.

This is to allow all users of GPU Renderers to add volumes into their scenes. Also it helps keep the file size down.

VDB Volumes labeled [L] are our legacy volumes (Early Volume Creations) (Wide Shots)

VDB Volumes labeled [SQ] are resolution designed for wide shots (Wide-Mid)

VDB Volumes labeled [MQ] are the optimal resolution for file size or asset type (Mid)

VDB Volumes labeled [HQ] are 2-3x the resolution of non-HQ files (Mid to Close)

VDB Volumes labeled [HQ2] require a single GPU with more than 11GB VRAM (Close up)
