What you'll learn
In this series of tutorials we're going to learn how to create stunning renders for game art using Marmoset Toolbag. We'll begin by learning the interface and how to navigate in the viewport. After that we'll jump into production by learning how to import our 3d files into Marmoset Toolbag. Then we'll start creating and modifying materials to apply to our game character. After that, we'll push our scenes even further by setting up lights in our scene using the Sky Tool and dynamic lights.

As an added bonus, we'll even learn how to preview animations right inside of Marmoset. Software required: Marmoset Toolbag 1.07.
