Rate Products
When you purchase your product, you have the option of leaving a rating.
To rate your product, navigate to its listing and click Rate product.
Listings are required to receive at least 5 reviews before the rating is displayed. This means, you still may see "No rating yet" after your review, but rest assured your rating is logged and taken into account in the displayed rating after the product gets the minimum required number of reviews.
If you grant a product 1 or 2 stars we encourage you to contact the seller to provide direct feedback so they can improve their products. You can view a seller's contact information in the About tab of their profile.
Assets Purchased Before Fab Frequently Asked Questions
Before Fab, you may have purchased items from Unreal Engine (UE) Marketplace, Sketchfab, and Quixel. Below are frequently asked questions for accessing content from these sites. For assets acquired on UE Marketplace, Sketchfab, or Quixel, the license under which you acquired the content is the license that generally continues to apply even if the product is now being sold on Fab under the Standard License.
For help with a purchase or any other questions use the Help option from your profile or Support option at the bottom of each Fab.com page.
Quixel
Where to find past acquisitions?
If you acquired Megascans under paid subscription plans, they will appear in your Fab library under the Quixel Content License. These licenses have been granted in addition to the license that was in place when you purchased the assets through Quixel.com or Bridge. After you re-download your past purchases through Fab, you're still entitled to use the content as per the legacy license terms.
For assets you acquired for free via the Unreal Engine subscription plan, or under a free trial, they are not automatically transferred over. You can download them on Fab and add them to your Fab library under the Fab Standard License terms. Moreover, until the end of the year, you can download Megascans for free from Fab under the Fab Standard License. When you add any Megascans to your library on Fab during this time, you will be entitled to use them under the Fab Standard License terms forever.
You may still access previously acquired assets via Bridge and Quixel.com under the applicable Quixel legacy license. Those products will not receive updates there, however. If you wish to download the updated version of an asset, you must redownload it or purchase it through Fab under the Fab Standard license.
Assets acquired under the Education program or Quixel enterprise or studio license will not automatically transfer over to Fab. For questions related to Quixel enterprise or studio licenses, reach out using Quixel's contact us form.
Do I get access to free Megascans forever?
Megascans are free to download under Fab's Standard License until the end of 2024. During this time, any Megascans that you add to your library on Fab, you will be entitled to use even after this promotion ends.
You must click Claim All Megascans to get the entire library, or you can add individually through the Add to Library functionality. These will log your entitlements to provide access after the free period ends. Simply downloading the asset will not automatically add the asset to your library.
How long will I be able to access my past acquisitions on Quixel.com or Bridge?
You can access past acquisitions through the Purchased/Acquired tab on Quixel.com or Bridge until those apps are sunset. We will alert you in advance when that happens.
What license(s) apply to my past acquisitions?
Any content previously downloaded through Quixel.com or Bridge is still governed by the license that was in place when they were acquired, so you're allowed to use previously downloaded Megascans assets in your future projects under the license terms that were in place at acquisition. In addition, you will be granted both Personal and Professional Fab Standard License entitlements for any Megascans you acquired in the past under the paid subscription plans.
How can I access my MetaHumans?
You can access your MetaHumans under the MetaHumans tab on Quixel.com or Bridge. To learn more, see Downloading MetaHumans.
Unreal Engine Marketplace
Where to find past acquisitions
All UE products acquired from UE Marketplace are available in the Vault of the Epic Games Launcher. If a product is published on Fab, that product will also appear in Fab under My Library.
Any difference between treatment of products acquired for free and those that have been purchased?
No difference! Any products you have acquired from UE Marketplace for free will continue to be available in the UE Vault of the Epic Games Launcher. If these products are distributed on Fab, you will also have access to them, and to any updates they might receive in Fab under My Library.
How to get updates to past purchases?
If a product that you purchased in the past is migrated to Fab by the product's publisher, updates to that product will be available in My Library on Fab. In case of updates to UE format files, you can get the update from the UE Vault. Any non-UE file formats added as part of a product update on Fab are available exclusively on Fab.
How long will I be able to continue accessing old content from the UE Vault?
It is not anticipated that your previously acquired products will be removed from your UE Vault. If that should change in the future, you will be alerted well in advance and Epic will do its best to provide an alternate access solution.
What license applies to my UE Marketplace content?
If you purchased something on UE Marketplace before Fab launched or purchased something on Fab under the Unreal Engine Marketplace License, its use is governed by the Epic Content License Agreement (we also call it UE Marketplace License here).
If you purchased something on UE Marketplace before Fab launched, then re-downloaded that product on Fab, its use is generally still governed by the UE Marketplace License (with the exception mentioned below).
If you own a product under the UE Marketplace license and the product's creator releases an update on Fab that includes new file formats, you can keep using the UE Marketplace licensed format with the UE Marketplace license, but if you want the new file formats, you must download them from Fab under the Fab Standard License. In this situation, there are 2 licenses in place: the UE Marketplace License for the base content, and the Fab Standard License for the new formats.
Sketchfab
How long will I be able to access my past purchases on Sketchfab?
You can access past purchases through your Purchases page until Sketchfab ceases operations. At that time, you will no longer be able to download your purchases from Sketchfab. We will reach out in advance of this happening to let you know next steps.
Will my past purchases be transferred over to my Fab library?
Not at this time. We will inform you if we are able to transfer your purchases to Fab in the future. We highly recommend downloading all your purchases through your Purchases page on Sketchfab to ensure that you have uninterrupted access to them. We will reach out in advance should anything change regarding how you access your past Sketchfab purchases.
I was going to rate a product that I bought but it's now on Fab and Fab doesn't recognize that I purchased it on Sketchfab. Can I still submit a rating?
Unfortunately, not at this time. If that should change, we will reach out to let you know.
