After lasts year’s positive reception to 8monkey’s release of Toolbag, we’ve decided to make some major additions and updates. Behold:
For those of you who don’t know, Toolbag is a realtime material editor and presentation tool, based on our Marmoset engine. It’s a quick way to preview your work in a realtime engine (and we do mean quick). We think you’ll find it presents your work in a most flattering way. 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 gloss maps and translucency
- New debug & compositing render modes, preview options
- Greatly improved and reorganized user interface
And that’s just the stuff we can remember. Â The trial version is a free download so by all means everyone go check it out post-haste. We think you’ll like it.
