Thanks man, video was great, but just wasn't what i was expecting. As the title says Material renders, which of course relates to texturing artists, you didn't showed how to render breakdowns of textures or simply put specific maps which is important to show in reels for texture artists. Maybe an idea for your next video.

[@GetLearnt]

@@ntn814 So all you'll need to do to represent the different textures that make up your material is to place the map in your Albedo slot. This will allow you to see the colour info of that texture, as well as getting the same normal, ao, etc. of the other slots. You might need to readjust the lighting a little bit to fit with the map, but that's how I tend to do it. :)

[@ntn814]

@@GetLearnt thanks for the reply, but simply putting the maps in albedo color doesn't pulls it. After some trial and error I made it to work but I had to remove all maps and disable all channels by setting them to none. After that I enabled only albedo color to put my breakdown maps in them and set my diffusion channel to unlit. That was shader part, after that in render settings I had to disable local reflections, shadows, GI and finally turn off all lights which is actually not necessary since I had already set diffusion to unlit so it can be skipped. That's what I did but others don't need to go through all this trial and error. That is the point of tutorials. So if you can make an in depth tutorial on this topic I'm sure it'll be of great help to many people.

[@GetLearnt]

Awesome, thanks for the sub! This is the only Marmoset video I have for the time being, however there may be more in the future. It might take a few watches but I think once you've got a material you like and pick out the information you need, youll be able to make some awesome renders. :)

[@ThePixelgrapher]

Hey, great video. However, I would have liked it if you'd explored the tonemapping options a little more. I noticed a lot of blown-out highlights in the scene and this could have been fixed with a nonlinear tonemapping curve such as ACES or Filmic like Unreal uses by default.

[@GetLearnt]

Thanks friend! And thank you for the input. Tonemapping in itself could be a whole video for sure, and I wanted to try and keep this video a little briefer than normal. If I decide to go back and do a more Intermediate tutorial on Marmoset, I'll definitely go into more depth on a lot of things. :)

Could you explain or make a video on how you created the sphere for this? I would like to follow along this video but with a plane. Although I dont know how to setup the plane at all to make it cooperative like this sphere does.

[@GetLearnt]

All you need to do is export a plane asset from a 3D modeling application and import it into the project. You can play around with the tessellation amount in the material settings so that you can have more or less geometry to fit what your material needs. :)

Please, anyone know if it's possible to animate exposed parameters in marmoset??

[@GetLearnt]

Are you referring to material parameters?

[@DMCFTW]

I love this video but can you please help me with a detail? in my marmoset scene, there is no option for roughness in the microsurface material tab. only the gloss option is available. How can i enable the roughness option? EDIT: REally sorry, i see you explain it further in the video. I rushed to comment. Still though, how can i enable the roughness option?

[@GetLearnt]

All you'll have to do is on the Glossiness header, on the right side it will say Glossiness with a drop-down arrow. Click on that and there will be an option for Roughness. :)

[@DMCFTW]

@@GetLearnt thats what i mean there is no option for roughness in the drop down menu on my end. the only options are either gloss or none

[@GetLearnt]

@@DMCFTW Oh, weird. I'm honestly not sure. Are you using Marmoset Toolbag 3.X or higher? I would maybe consider reaching out to support if you cannot find an answer online, that may be a bug. Possibly try a re-install, just to be sure.

[@TeaGaby]

Hey this is awesome! Thanks so much :D Quick question, what's the difference between creating the material in marmoset and individually dropping in the texture maps compared to just dropping the .sbsar file? Is there a reason why you didnt or I shouldnt? Trying to render out some materials I created in Designer and was wondering if maybe dropping the .sbsar file directly into marmoset is a no-no. Love your content! Thanks

[@GetLearnt]

Hey thanks for watching! Happy to help out. :) By all means, if you want to drop in your .sbsar you are able to. I just wanted to show how to import the textures individually in case you wanted to render out something that is not a material, such as a character. In that case you would have to import textures. I've also had a few issues occasionally with importing .sbsar files, but most times it has worked for me. :)

Hey! Thought I'd try asking this here since I can't seem to find anything about it online, do you happen to know if I can animate exposed parameters in Marmoset 3.08? On my material I have a few functionalities that I would love to demo in a short animation out of Marmoset. Thanks in advance!

[@GetLearnt]

That's a great question, I've never actually thought of doing that! I have never done it myself, but I did find one video online doing something like that. Im not sure if it'll be too much help but I will post it here just in case. If I ever do something like that for myself, I'll try and respond here with how I did it or just make a video about it.

I have a question, when I try to make my own scene on Marmoset, my subdivision tesselation doesn't works so I guess that I forget something when I create my 3d model ? How do you do for make a 2 tiled sphere who can be subdivise in Marmoset ?

[@GetLearnt]

I've linked a sphere mesh that has already been unwrapped in the description, so definitely feel free to use that if you haven't already! My first troubleshooting question is: is the little rocketship in your 3D view highlighted green? That is the speedy view, which will disable any tesselation from happening.

[@darty367]

​@@GetLearnt I tried on plane cause I want to test on plane surface, but I finally found it, it's seem because I don't have unwrap my plane in blender before save in fbx format (I just try the new 2.8 version so I'm a newbie in blender), not sure but now it's works :)

[@GetLearnt]

@@darty367 Ah, gotcha! That would definitely do it. Glad you were able to get it solved tho, and welcome to the Blender-sphere! 2.8 is such a beast. :)

[@LannasMissingLink]

Does anyone know a cheap way of getting marmoset? Or a crack? As a student I cant justify $200 just for a rendering software, but it looks so good..

[@GetLearnt]

Marmoset does go on sale occasionally, however it's normally around $50 cheaper at the most, so that may also not be the most doable. While I don't know of any cracks, I do know that you would certainly get comparable renders using Blender's Eevee engine too. It is a realtime engine, similar to what Marmoset is doing, so you will get very similar results in terms of "what you see is what you get" game-styled renders. It may take a bit of getting used to, however all the same concepts are there.

[@LannasMissingLink]

@@GetLearnt oh really? Thanks so much for your advice! I'll look into the blender one

[@GetLearnt]

@@LannasMissingLink Happy to help out! There should be lots of tutorials out there to get you started. :)

[@TheDeepDiveOriginal]

I still dont understand how Marmoset is better then the free Blender, which is a complete 3d environment, not just a rendering software. I can get similar if not better results in Eevee in minutes. I can switch to ray-tracing render engine any time i want to, with all my shaders and materials working like a charm. Still, a lot of substance artists use Marmoset....

[@GetLearnt]

Mainly because it had this kind of render capabilities way before Blender did. It also has incredibly good baking tools for textures, and for Material Artists that don't use Blender at all, setting up a render scene in Marmo is far easier. That being said, you're absolutely right, Blender is more than capable of getting awesome renders. Don't let the fact that others use a paid software discourage you from using a free one because if you're having fun and producing high quality results that you enjoy, you're also laughing all the way to the bank with the money you've saved. :)
