Advanced Member stusutcliffe Posted January 1, 2015 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) I just noticed this on offer today( 30 %). So I downloaded the 30 day trial. Seems reasonably straight forward , even for me.......But when I import a normal map ( made in 3dcoat) it just crashes everytime . Any one use this software or got any knowledge ? ( I used Maya NM in Coat and selected same for Toolbag import) I noticed Phil Nolans name on an old forum,.....he/you were not having much luck with it. Anyway, it is 30 percent off today. Edit: Seems it does not like PNG images ,I managed to make it not crash by converting to JPG. Edited January 1, 2015 by stusutcliffe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member RabenWulf Posted January 2, 2015 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Created a normal map in 3DCoat, export as png, load into Marmoset Toolbag 2.... works fine. Never had any crashes with Marmoset Toolbag since I started using it since version 1. I wonder if its something else. Were you using the default shader and plug it into the surface tab to the right?Marmoset 2 is a great piece of software, worth every penny.

Advanced Member stusutcliffe Posted January 2, 2015 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I can load a jpg normal map just fine, Png is an instant crash.... I tried the default and a new shader. Just tried Targa, that was fine also. No big deal I suppose.Now I know it is usable . I missed the offer deadline, but I wouldnt be using it seriously for now anyway. Ive got the 30 day demo ,so I will dip in and out for a bit. Its just one of those mysteries.

Advanced Member Denis Posted January 2, 2015 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 I bought Toolbag 2 the last time it was on sale, but I haven't been able to find much for tutorials. It would certainly be great if someone would make a video of 3DC to toolbag2 workflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really isnt much need for tutorials, as the application is extremely simple to use... they do go over the basics on their website though. For the nitty gritty info though ( as well as help, feature requests..ect), there's an official section on Polycount for it: http://www.polycount.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=85 Edited January 2, 2015 by RabenWulf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would certainly be great if someone would make a video of 3DC to toolbag2 workflow. This should get you started. Here are the settings I used for Export Objects and Textures from 3D Coat and these are the setting I used in Toolbag For a surface like wood I would set the Texure export/import workflow to Gloss/Color Specular and in Toolbag set Reflectivity to Specular Map.

Advanced Member bisenberger Posted January 18, 2015 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 These are the best settings I've found for 3DC Per-Pixel painting displacement in Toolbag. 3D Coat export settings and Toolbag displacement settings If displacing a flat plane the Flat option for Subdivision works good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
