Character Artist & Former Instructor

“The cage editing features that come with the baking system are perfect for helping students understand how their high poly meshes work within the game art pipeline. It also helps them understand errors and how to resolve issues with their textures.

It’s a great, accessible 3D software for students of all levels, and its wide range of tools lets them jump in quickly to create professional-quality bakes, textures, and renders. I would not have been able to run my class without this tool, and I believe that many of my students are successful because I was able to teach them how to use Toolbag.”
