Marmoset Toolbag 5.02 Beta is Available Now

Marmoset has released Toolbag 5.02 in beta, providing even more texturing, baking, and rendering tools to improve users' workflow experience and scene management tasks.

There is a variety of new features, including Low to Low baking to bake textures directly from a low poly mesh, a Hotkey Editor, Decal Layer and Decal Projection for Vectors for quick design of logos, stickers, and other elements, and Sample Layers for Masks for a flexible, non-destructive way to build mask data directly from paint and fill layers.

Moreover, Marmoset introduced the ability to embed Sync Points in groups, a dedicated Render Window, a Scene Search bar, support for Custom Folders in the Library, and more.

The rendering side of the software has also received several useful solutions, like ray-traced fog, which brings support for god rays or light shafts. What's more, there have been some ray tracing VRAM improvements: "The backend will automatically switch and compress the ray tracing acceleration data in cases of high VRAM use."

As expected from a beta release, many of these features are in the experimental phase and might not work as intended.
