100+ New Assets Available
We’re proud to announce that Toolbag 4’s Library just received its first update packed with a bunch of new assets. Over 100 new Smart Materials, Materials, and Textures are now available to download from the Library, free for all Toolbag 4 users.
The Library’s collection of assets is evergrowing, so we’ll be adding fresh batches of content from time to time. In addition, some existing Smart Materials have been updated for consistent quality with newly added materials. Click on the thumbnails in each section below to see previews and learn how to download the new assets from your Toolbag client.
Smart Materials
We’ve expanded the Library’s collection of Smart Materials with 50 additions of various material types: ceramic, fabric, metal, paint, plastic, stone, and wood. Smart Materials enable you to explore different surface styles with configurable, layered wear and tear that conforms to your 3D model. Apply Smart Materials to your Texture Project to get a head start on the asset creation process.
Materials
This update brings 57 brand new Materials ranging from paint, paper, plastic, stone, vegetation, and transparent categories. Materials can be used for layering and 3D painting in texture projects as well as quick asset visualization.
Textures
We’ve added 11 new Grunge Maps to help you create complex weathering on your assets. These grunge maps include dents, brushed detail, scratches, and wrinkles.
