Learn the Basics of Marmoset Toolbag

Explore the Marmoset Toolbag interface, learn to import models, and adjust lighting, materials, and properties to become comfortable with the program.

Learn Marmoset Toolbag, a real-time rendering software to preview your meshes, textures, and materials for portfolio-ready images, and export assets to your engine under different lighting.

Explore the simple interface of Marmoset Toolbag for previewing models, textures, and animations. Navigate the scene with a clear hierarchy, material editor, multiple cameras, and a turntable for quick previews.

Import a high-poly model into Marmoset Toolbag, create and adjust materials, and explore cameras, lighting, and sky options to preview lighting and composition.

Explore essential Marmoset Toolbag tutorials and articles to master materials, PBR concepts, energy conservation, albedo, metalness and roughness, with practical examples for metal, dirt, and rock.

Export your mesh from Maya, import it into marmoset, and apply textures from substance designer, including normal, height (displacement), gloss, albedo, specular, and occlusion maps, with tiling adjustments.

Adjust materials and lighting in Marmoset Toolbag by tweaking tiling, normal maps, roughness, specular, and reflectivity, and set directional lights and sky intensity to shape shadows and previews.

Create a turntable for the pirate ship, set materials and lights, and adjust spin rate to animate the scene. Rotate children with the table, and export animations as FBX.

Explore the baking tools in Marmoset Toolbag, bake maps from high- and low-poly rock assets, adjust normals, occlusion, curvature, and export textures in PC format for game pipelines.

Master render settings in marmoset toolbag by adjusting resolution, anti-aliasing, wireframe overlays, and lighting, including reflections and high-res shadows, then export images or videos via the capture menu.

Conclude this course by inviting feedback and questions, especially for Mac users, and offer help with Toolbag 3 projects, encouraging screenshots of scenes, lighting, models, textures, and materials.
