"Toolbag 4 is the Total Texturing and Presentation Experience"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Toolbag?

Where to begin? The new Toolbag 4 is powerful beyond anything currently available in the industry. Originally used as a presentation tool, Toolbag 4 offers a full texturing suite that integrates directly into your scene and allows you to adjust anything and everything in real-time. When you're ready to render out that final presentation, Toolbag has everything loaded and set, and you need to tweak your settings to your desired values. It even supports animation for an improved presentation experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Toolbag?

The lack of standard materials, especially Smart Materials, is kind of disappointing. Given how new Toolbag 4 is, though, I imagine that won't be the case forever. There are also some performance issues with more significant scenes, but I believe performance improvements are also on the horizon. Overall, there is very little to dislike about the new Toolbag.

Recommendations to others considering Toolbag:

Comparisons to other 3D texturing tools are fair. Still, Toolbag's ability to render and present in real-time and adjust textures without swapping to a different program is robust. It should be an essential factor in deciding what your workflow will be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Toolbag solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've not solidified a Toolbag 4 workflow, but I see the ability to texture and render at the same time as the future of 3D workflows, and that excites me. Being able to light assets and texture them, knowing what sort of results to expect in the end product is extremely powerful, and it excites me to see what's possible with this new workflow.
