In order to use Quixel Megascans that are now free on Fab:

1. Download the gltf file from “converted files” (`.gltf` or `.glb`):

2. Drag and drop the content of the extracted package into your Defold project:

3. In the `model` component assign the `.gltf`/`.glb` file to the `Scene` property:

4. Defold Editor will propose to auto fill the data basing on the `.gltf`/`.glb` file, so select it:

5. And v’oila! Material will be created for it using the built-in shaders that work with PBR now and proper textures will be assigned:

It will also work with Light components out of the box:

This is done in Defold 1.14.1, I was using the basic 3D template, as [defold-pbr](https://github.com/defold/defold-pbr) is no longer needed since 1.14.1 (if you don’t need Image Based Ligthing).
