Make sure your drivers are up to date and it would be worth trying a fresh install of marmoset just to make sure

that was the problem, thanks!

Hello everyone,

So I've been trying out Marmoset and it was working quite well for a bit, but lately I've been encountering this error and crash a lot when trying to load a particular scene/mesh/material:

The only thing I can think of that is different about when I encounter this error is that the mesh/material in question within the scene is utilizing Displacement (with lots of Tessellation) compares to other assets I've had no problems with in the toolbag.

I definitely have the latest Nvidia driver installed (301.42 from May) as well. Appreciate any ideas on what this is. I can of course re-create the mesh and scene with no issue, so it's not deal-breaking, but it is a bit of an annoyance.

i got that error a few times when trying to import a model with more than 1 UV set on a single piece of geo. try deleting UV sets maybe

Is there still a way to increase shadow resolution like in a previous version?

EDIT: Never mind i went through the thread and it answered my question.

did the license transfer utility get fixed ?
last time i tried to switch my license from laptop to desktop i had to contact support =(
and now that i finished moving i would like to use my desktop again

Sorry if this has been asked before, but has anyone else had this problem, or know the solution? A lot of the time when I mirror uvs on a model I get a crazy seam that doesn't seem to follow either the geometry or the texture.

Make sure that the mirrored UV's are offset out of the main UV area. That should fix it.

Just for you guys, the 1.06 is out.

Thanks, metalliandy!

does anybody else have a problem tranfering the license from one pc to another ?

No problem, dirigible

@SnowInChina,
It depends, but you can't transfer the licence to another PC without deactivating the current install (as each key is locked to your hardware)

If you have reinstalled windows or your hard drive has crashed, then you will need to email them to get a new key.

Are you following the license transfer info on page 22 in the Marmoset docs?

yes, iam
the thing is

i start the license transfer tool, give my new hardware fingerprint and then it crashes without providing me a new key, but it still deactivates my old one

Hmm, I would email them with the fingerprint to get a new key.
I really don't know how to fix the issue you are having

I can't seem to render dynamic lights in marmoset. Everytime I go to add a new light the user interface goes blank. There are no menus on screen. I don't get an error message. Im using an ATI Radeon HD 7850 graphics card. Is this just a graphics card problem?

anyone know how to simulate glass in marmoset? I tried using the complex shader but it doesnt keep the color I want on the model.

ComplexRefraction




PhongEnvironment

it look like i got some problem with the download system... i did enter my email but nothing come in my inbox... it was a bug ? i didn't have any problem with my email, i wonder why ? i guess because my email is from orange.fr

Here are few images to explain further

t would be great if anyone could help. Thank you

I've run into this problem before and my suggestion would be to turn on both 'Use Alpha Testing' and 'Use Alpha-to-Coverage' but ramp up the 'Alpha Threshold' to around 0.15 or higher - not too high though, because your mesh will disappear. Also, make sure you set the blend mode to 'Alpha' - this is vital. Hope this helps.

I'm having the same issues as you Zin83, and this is especially annoying since I've recently bought a new graphics card - ATI Radeon HD 7770. I never had any problems with the UI or mesh disappearing with my previous card (Nvidia 9600GT), or the ATI HD 5570. I've emailed a bug report to the Marmoset team in hope that they'd fix the issue. Will report back if and when I recieve a reply.

The other minor issue I've encountered since installing the new card is the UI now appears 'washed out'. Again, never had this issue with either the Nvidia card (9600GT) or ATI card (HD 5570).



I've figured that it must be a compatibility issue Marmoset has with newer ATI cards (7000 series), since trying to fix it by uninstalling / reinstalling marmoset and updating to latest and beta drivers. Despite this everything else works perfectly, apart from the custom lights feature mentioned above.

Boy, I love that new icon!

Does using alpha blend, with properly sorted alpha meshes produce a cleaner look in marmoset? I am currently trying to update to the latest one, but have some license issues they are taking care of.

Hi all,

Trying out Marmoset for the first time and running the 30day trial of 106. I knocked up a very quick rock in zbrush as a test piece to bake and got my maps from xNormal. Using the xNormal 3d viewer everything is fine, however in marmoset I was getting seams so I figured flipped channel or something was to blame. No success with changing any settings or maps, but now it appears that there is something else to blame.

I downloaded the trial of Marmoset at work, wondering if something was amiss on my home setup, but this time I had re-exported the low res from max (2009) with the mesh scaled up and the XForm reset. This version of the low res works fine in marmoset, no seams. Trying to reproduce this on my home machine however and things remain broken.

Importing this working version of the mesh into max and re-exporting causes it to again be broken and display seams. The 2 meshes also look different in marmoset as soon as I load them in (i.e. with no textures applied). I'm definitely exporting with my smoothing groups (per UV island), and I can't see any other settings that could be causing this to happen, but I can't for the life of me get a working version exported correctly on my home machine. I'm also getting fluctuating file sizes (1st image 20kb, 2nd image 27kb, 3rd image 18kb)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

I got an email back from them and they said Marmoset has been tested on Radeon 5000 and 6000 series cards, not yet on the 7000 series of cards though. They're concerned about it and looking into a fix for it. I'll post back here once I've gotten another response.

Thanks Spaceman. Its good to know that they are aware of it now.

No problem man, and yeah I was pretty happy with their quick response and care taken in regards to the matter
