Introduction

Marmoset Toolbag

Marmoset Toolbag is a fully functional 3D real-time rendering, animation, and baking kit that provides artists with a powerful and efficient workflow throughout the entire production phase. The Marmoset team announced the release of the next generation version of the real-time rendering suite, Marmoset Toolbag 4. Toolbag 4 is equipped with a brand new ray tracing engine, RTX support, 3D texture tools, customizable UI and workspace, and more. The latest version supports RTX accelerated baking, a free resource library manufactured by Marmoset, which can meet rendering and texture requirements, as well as more features. One of the biggest updates to Toolbag 4 is the addition of a new ray tracing engine, which has been optimized to run on all modern GPUs. The team pointed out that it can be adjusted to achieve faster results on NVIDIA RTX series GPUs.

Marmoset is a real-time material editing, rendering, and animation editing preview software launched by Monkey Company. At the same time, this software has all the game engines and tool collections in Monkey Company, making it very comprehensive and powerful. It can not only help users observe real-time models, edit materials, create animations, preview animations, etc, Provide a simple and practical application platform for game artists to showcase their hard work achievements to others.

Marmoset Toolbag is mainly used to display or preview prepared scenes (which can also be exported to mobile devices for browsing). The rendering accuracy of Marmoset Toolbag is much lower, and various details may be significantly lost, making its accuracy incomparable with professional renderers. However, if you want to achieve accuracy and realism in rendering, you still need to use Iray and other renderers in the end.

Marmoset Toolbag is a real-time rendering tool with a user-friendly interface and easy to use. If you choose to use MAYA or MAX for rendering, you need to spend a lot of time learning a renderer, such as mental, ray, vray, etc. If you use a large engine like UE4, you also need a long time to learn.

Basically, those who are familiar with rendering can proficiently use Toolbag to output high-quality 3D art works in a short period of time. They can quickly preview and output during work. This software provides a quick and convenient solution for pure 3D art professionals to showcase their own art works.

Debug the basic lights and environmental effects in marmoset toolbag2. Hair and whiskers can be directly adjusted using the default color and material attributes of the shader in the marmoset toolbag2. The eyeball map can use network materials, and the eyeball lens can use the glass material ball preset in Marmoset Toolbag2.

Using Photoshop, create color maps and highlight maps for faces using realistic photo materials and baked AO and activity maps.
