Overview #

Toolbag Scene (*.tbscene) is the proprietary file format for Marmoset Toolbag to save all objects and data your active Toolbag scene contains.

A Scene Bundle (File -> Export…) exports the same *.tbscene file, but also writes a copy of all assets referenced (i.e. materials, meshes, textures, skies) to an /Assets folder alongside the scene file itself with relative file paths set. The scene bundle export is useful when you need to share the scene and its contents with other users or if you want to open the same scene on another machine.
