Create presentation stills from approved Marmoset Toolbag asset views.
Start with a clean PNG or JPG exported from Toolbag. The examples on this page show general RENDERCAD workflows, not the Toolbag interface or project files.
Marmoset Toolbag 5.02 is a 3D art workspace from Marmoset LLC for baking, texturing, material and scene work, and asset presentation. Bake Projects support high-to-low, Low-to-Low, and UV Matching workflows. Texture Projects and materials develop surface appearance, while the dedicated Render window offers Raster, Hybrid, and interactive Ray Tracing modes for final views.
Use this workflow after the asset's silhouette, bake, materials, pose, camera, and lighting already read clearly in Toolbag. A clean hero image can show a character, prop, weapon, vehicle, or hard-surface asset without asking the viewer to interpret the working scene. Choose the view that best explains the asset.
RENDERCAD can explore a studio campaign image, atmospheric key art, portfolio cover, store visual, art-review slide, or pitch-deck direction from that flat image. Toolbag remains the editable source for the mesh, UVs, maps, materials, camera, animation, render passes, native turntables, and technical review.
Finish the Bake Project, Texture Project, materials, scene, camera, and lighting in Toolbag. In the Render window, choose Raster, Hybrid, or interactive Ray Tracing according to the review. Frame a three-quarter hero view or a closer detail view, then hide grids, handles, selections, and interface overlays before export.
Export a clean PNG or JPG and upload that image to RENDERCAD. Describe one presentation goal, such as a restrained studio backdrop, stronger atmosphere, or campaign finish. Compare the result with the approved Toolbag image, then return to Toolbag for changes to the asset or native output because RENDERCAD works only from the exported image.
This example uses an Onshape model, not Marmoset Toolbag. The image-to-video step begins with a finished presentation still.
Brush over part of the generated still and describe the change. This edits the presentation image; it does not modify the Toolbag scene, mesh, bake, texture maps, or materials.
Try another image model when you want a different studio treatment, atmosphere, backdrop, or campaign finish. Compare the result with the approved Toolbag render before sharing it.

Toolbag bakes, textures, and renders the editable 3D asset. RENDERCAD starts from a flat image and creates presentation stills or optional video.
Choose the approved camera, pose, lighting, material setup, and render mode in Toolbag. Keep the silhouette and important surface detail clear, then hide grids, handles, selections, and interface overlays before export.
Marmoset Toolbag files, image preparation, and output
No. RENDERCAD accepts only a flat image. It does not open Toolbag .tbscene scenes or .mview Viewer files, and it is not a Toolbag plugin or cloud renderer.
Use a clean PNG or JPG from the dedicated Render window when material response and lighting matter. A clean viewport capture can work for simpler form exploration.
Use Raster for fast interactive previews, Hybrid for a balance of interactivity and quality, or interactive Ray Tracing when lighting, reflections, and final quality matter. RENDERCAD receives only the resulting flat image.
Keep the approved silhouette, pose, camera angle, focal material detail, and enough context to make the asset easy to read. Remove grids, handles, selections, and interface overlays.
No. Meshes, UVs, maps, materials, cameras, animation, and render passes do not transfer with the image. Keep Toolbag as the source for exact asset and surface decisions.
No. RENDERCAD is not a baker, Viewer, render farm, or Toolbag cloud renderer. Use Toolbag for Bake Projects, native stills, render passes, video, and technical output.
RENDERCAD can create optional generated image-to-video motion from a still, but it is not a real Toolbag turntable and does not use the scene, camera, or animation.
Compare the result with the approved Toolbag image. Check silhouette, proportions, baked detail, labels, material response, and important asset features before using it in a portfolio or review.
