I am moving your thread from Technical Talk to the Marmoset subforum. 

Also, please don't use all caps.

We have not finalized the release date yet, but the plan is for Toolbag 3 to be released sometime this year. Stay tuned for more information.

Torekrafael

tnx for answering (and sorry for the caps). You can tell I`m very excited for its release and thought I failed to find the date somewhere else. Big fan of your work here on polycount and marmoset!

Hello. Is there any chance to participate in beta program? Or it's completely closed and private? Thanks. EGGO.

Torekrafael

Yes. I saw a couple of posts of famous artists like Gilberto Magno and Sanna Nivhede using toolbag 3. Is there a chance for us to get into the beta as well?

EarthQuake

Hey guys, we're currently running an early, private alpha testing program. We are likely going to run a larger beta program as well, so stay tuned.

So, question. I have bought Marvelous 2, but when I installed the beta it says I only have 30 days to test it. Is this a prevention so people don't keep the beta and not buy the full product?

Toolbag 3 is not available for sale yet, so everyone who uses the beta is put into trial mode. We've been resetting the trial counter to make sure people have access to the beta for the duration of the testing phase.

Thank goodness, I thought all I was getting was 30 days until the release date or else needed to revert back to TB2.  And also thank goodness the scenes are reverse compatible.  Sure enough my TB3 saved scene still opens in TB2.

Yes, TB3 scenes should load in TB2 - certain new objects like the baker object or turntable object won't show up as they are not supported in TB2, and new shader models, like the skin shader, will load as null (black), but you just need to change the diffusion module back to the old skin shader in TB2 to get it working again.
