Marmoset Toolbag Bridge
add-on
Tag high/low meshes, create a Toolbag bake scene and import baked maps as Blender materials. Windows only; requires Marmoset Toolbag 3–5, sold separately.
Bake in Toolbag. Bring the results back to Blender.
Tag high- and low-poly meshes, send a ready-to-bake Marmoset Toolbag scene and return finished maps as Blender materials. No Toolbag-side installation is needed.
Windows only. Requires your own Marmoset Toolbag license and installation. No Marmoset software or license is included. Tachyon Studio is independent of Marmoset.
Select → Send → Bake → Import
Open the Universal Bridge tab in Blender's sidebar with N. Select your assets, tag their high/low roles, send them to Toolbag, then import the baked maps.
Tools included
- Create Bake Scene: prepare a ready-to-bake scene, optionally starting the bake immediately. Toolbag 3–5 are supported; unavailable settings are skipped.
- High / Low Tagging: assign mesh roles and pair matching names automatically.
- Bake Maps: normal, AO, curvature, thickness, height, position, ID and albedo, with per-map settings.
- Output Control: resolution, bit depth, samples, padding, formats and output names.
- Send to Marmoset: transfer meshes, empties and armatures for look development, with material and modifier options.
- Import Baked Maps: find the baked files and build a Principled material on the low-poly mesh.
- Reuse & Auto-Detect: detect Toolbag installations and reuse a running instance through the resident listener.
- Shared tools: preflight, naming, selection sets, history, versioned files and batch sending. Choose branded, monochrome or native icons.
