Holy guacamole!
This year just keeps getting better and better.

Hmmmm depending on how this works compared to sketchfab i might buy marmoset :O

Magihat · Mar 2015

"Marmoset Viewer will be available free of charge to all Toolbag 2 users!"

Autocon · Mar 2015

Damn this made me want to buy a tablet :O Looks awesome!

Jeff Parrott · Mar 2015

YUSS! This is awesome.

EarthQuake · Mar 2015

Oh Hai

ZacD · Mar 2015

Hi EQ!

I should have bought Marmoset Toolbag during the last sale. The waiting game starts again.

Deathstick · Mar 2015

why are you so good to us

I feel like I should send marmoset flowers!

Avanthera · Mar 2015

Dayum, that looks great! My portfolio is going to look so cool. (when I get around to updating it)

fearian · Mar 2015

So I'm pretty excited about this and I'm gonna assume you meant for me to watch this video 4-5 times over and spot the URL you used in the video that demo's the viewer

A little slow to load, but this is fucking brilliant. Fantastic work guys! Good luck with the talks!

Joost · Mar 2015

Can't wait for this! So much awesome.
After playing around with the link above I think this is going to be a real game changer for portfolios. Also a lot of potential for commercial applications.

MephistonX · Mar 2015

Awesome, I see portfolio updates incoming

praetus · Mar 2015

Yeah, I think I'll be completely reworking my portfolio site when this hits. So awesome.

Oh man you guys! Never underestimate the power of a determined internet.

I've taken this link down, we'll be adding a live gallery to our website when it's ready, this was an older version of our GDC Gallery demo, stop by booth #302 at GDC if you want to try the viewer!

fearian · Mar 2015

Whoops! Sorry EQ!

BagelHero · Mar 2015

Still, though. That's an old version? Can't wait to see the released one! Looks great guys, absolutely ace.

Kwramm · Mar 2015

makes me sad and happy at the same time. We programmed something quite similar for the iPad last year to demo stuff to our clients. Marmoset viewer is definitely better (yay!) but now we likely have to abandon our own work, which was a lot of fun

slipsius · Mar 2015

This looks amazing. I wonder... Now that polycount has an animation section, will marmoset add an animation option? hint... you damn well better! (please)

Chantel-sky · Mar 2015

I'm so keen for this

!

Damian Nachman · Mar 2015

Yusssssss.

Yusssssss! Death to sketchfab.

That's a bit harsh I think. Let's be honest, I am excited about the Marmoset Viewer but let's not crap all over someone that has given us a great toolset that has been incorporated not only into this board but also into Artstation and Facebook.

dsenter · Mar 2015

Will this support animated textures? (video or sequences)

aesir · Mar 2015

One step closer to making easy to view animations that the viewer can rotate around.

I Guess you're right, but I Don't see myself using sketchfab when this baby comes out.
Sketchfab is awesome for simple/flat-shaded stuff, but PBR is a major thing nowadays.

Bertmac · Mar 2015

@ MeshPotato What are you talking about Sketchfab has PBR as well.... Don't see your point

praetus · Mar 2015

While I am highly interested in this, the biggest hurdle to me is hosting. Marmoset viewer looks great but some of these files take quite some time to load. When you factor in 4 or 5 textures at 2048 and a heavy mesh you might be looking at 60+mb, right? And that's per view. That's pretty tight on bandwidth. Like I said, I am really excited to learn more about the marmoset viewer but it really depends on how it is implemented especially with sketchfab using pbr now.

Deathstick · Mar 2015

^^ that's why god invented embedded links and JPG backups!

We optimize and compress the scenes on export, most of the demo content we're showing here at GDC is around the 10MB range. We had one scene that was about 30mb, but that had 7 sets of 4 or so 2K maps, so around 28 2Ks or so total.

We have a few options for texture quality too, that cap resolution at 1k, 2k and 4k, so you have control over the file size/quality ratio.

Kwramm · Mar 2015

Is there any offline mode to it, or online only?
Asking because we love the idea that it runs on a tablet, so our sales team would love this. But they can't always be online. Anyway, great work - looks very polished!

almighty_gir · Mar 2015

We have plans to make an app that can read our .mview files direct from device but we haven't committed to development yet. We're very happy that you're so excited!
