Marmoset Viewer is a WebGL 3D model viewer for sharing interactive presentations on the web. Scenes are created in Marmoset Toolbag and exported as optimized .mview packages for hosting or embedding. It supports animated scenes, refractive materials, shadowed fog and shadow catcher objects. Web developers can embed packages with a JavaScript library and embed utility; packages can also be uploaded to ArtStation, and a third-party WordPress plugin is available for uploading and embedding. A free standalone desktop app opens .mview files locally and can be downloaded separately from Toolbag. The maker lists Windows, OS X, iOS and Android compatibility, while noting that Android support is less robust than on the other listed platforms. Global illumination, screen-space reflections and ambient occlusion are not supported. Models and textures must be sent to the browser for rendering, so the maker says robust copy protection is essentially impossible. Viewer is included with Toolbag versions 2.07 and newer; the standalone app is free.
