Marmoset has released Toolbag Library Drop 02: a new set of 135 materials available free to users of Toolbag, its real-time rendering software.

The update, which comprises 28 Smart Materials and 107 standard materials, focuses on realistic fabrics.

The previous Library Drop, released in April 2021, added over 100 materials and textures.

New readymade materials for the reworked library in Toolbag 4
The Library Drops expand the reworked library of readymade materials introduced in Toolbag 4.0, last year’s major update to the real-time rendering and texture baking software.

Previews of the assets should automatically appear in users’ Library windows. The files themselves can then be downloaded for free from the cloud.

New materials mimicking real-world woven and knitted fabrics
Library Drop 01, released in April, added 39 Smart Materials, 57 materials and 11 textures, including readymade metal, paint, plastic, stone and wood materials.

In contrast, this week’s Library Drop 02 is focused mainly on fabrics.

The update provides over 50 new materials replicating different weave structures for cotton, wool, and even Kevlar, and updates the existing fabric materials in the library with more accurate sheen values.

The remaining materials and Smart Materials span a range of real-world material types, including ceramics, dirt, metal, and creature textures like fur and scale.

Pricing and availability
Marmoset’s Library Drop materials are available free to users of Toolbag 4.x.

Toolbag itself is available for Windows 10 and macOS 10.15+. It is compatible with any Direct3D 11-capable GPU on Windows, and macOS GPU family 2. The current release is Toolbag 4.03.

New licences cost $299 for individual artists, and $799 for studios. Subscriptions cost $14.99/month for individuals and $39.99/month for studios.
