Q: Can I Load My Scene On A Tablet With No Internet Access?

Loading Marmoset Viewer scenes from your mobile device’s local storage is not currently supported.

Q: Can I Test Marmoset Viewer Content Locally On My Computer?

Yes, as of version 3.04 Toolbag ships with a stand-alone .mview viewing application. Now you can double click .mview files to open them. The Viewer application can be downloaded separately as well.

Q: How Large Are .Mview Files?

File size will vary depending on scene complexity, size and quality of textures, and number of textures. A typical game-ready asset with two texture sets limited to 2k resolution will generally be around 10MB. Untextured high poly models can be loaded as well. A scene with 1 million triangles and no textures will be around 22MB. If you’re uploading content to ArtStation (which has a limit of 15MB) you can try decimating your mesh in ZBrush or other 3D modeling packages to reduce file size.

Q: Are There Any Restrictions With Regards To Poly Count?

There are no geometry count limitations. However, it’s important to keep in mind that complex scenes with high geometry count may not run well or may crash on mobile devices.

Q: What Happens To My Art Content?

On export, your scene content is compressed to minimize the file size. Texture content is converted to a standard shading model, which is why you will see your textures displayed as reflectivity and gloss even if they were authored as metalness and roughness. The texture quality options in the export dialog determine compression and resolution, with the following maximums: Low: Textures are capped at 1024×1024 with low quality compression. High: Textures are capped at 2048×2048 with medium quality compression. Unreasonable: Textures are capped at 4096×4096 with high quality compression. Scenes with large or many textures will increase file size and bandwidth use and may not run well or may even crash on lower end devices like tablets and phones. Beginning with the Marmoset Toolbag 2.08 update, we’ve added an option to export high-quality, losslessly compressed normal maps. It’s important to note that lossless normal maps can significantly increase the size of your Marmoset Viewer file.

Q: How Does The Export Process Work?

Marmoset Viewer content is created by setting up a scene in Marmoset Toolbag , and exporting a .mview file. All of the scene data including meshes, materials, textures, lights, camera and post effect settings are saved. You can then upload the .mview file to your web server, or popular websites like ArtStation .

Q: Will Marmoset Viewer Run On My Device?

Marmoset Viewer should run on any device/browser combination that supports WebGL. Performance will vary depending on many factors, including device hardware and scene complexity. To check how well your device works with Marmoset Viewer, load the demo gallery . At this time, Android support is not as robust as Windows, OS X and iOS. This is due to various technical issues related to the Android operating system that we are currently researching.

Q: How Do The Controls Work?

KEYBOARD & MOUSE: Rotate: LMB Pan: MMB, RMB or Ctrl+LMB Zoom: Scroll Rotate lighting: Shift+RMB Reset Camera: Double click Expand layer: Single click TOUCHSCREEN: Rotate: 1 Finger swipe Pan: 2 Finger swipe Zoom: 2 Finger pinch Rotate Lighting: 3 Finger swipe Reset Camera: Double tap Expand layer: Single tap
