8monkey Labs updated, released and posted Marmoset Toolbag version 1.0. For those of you who don’t know, Toolbag is a realtime material editor and presentation tool, based on our Marmoset engine. It features HDR image based lighting, and a wide array of material and shading options. It’s basically a pretty quick way to preview your work in a realtime engine.
“v1.0 has several new features not present in the previous release, most notably:
- Dynamic light creation and editing
- Saveable scene files (save all your toolbag settings)
- Several new sky lighting presets
- Expanded post effects, including SSAO, DOF, and vignette
- Improved light and shadow accuracy and detail
- Expanded material options, including emmissive & gloss maps
- New debug & compositing render modes, preview options
- Greatly improved and reorganized user interface
- A bit of stank on it
And that’s just the stuff we can remember. The trial version is a free download so by all means everyone go check it out post-haste. We think you’ll like it. – The 8monkey Team”
