Marmoset Toolbag is a 3D real-time renderer that allows users to simulate the behaviour of real-world cameras. While the software supports multiple cameras, some users have reported issues with panning the camera in Marmoset 3. This could be due to various reasons, including the need to use specific keyboard shortcuts, the lack of official documentation on camera controls, or potential compatibility issues with certain websites. It is important to explore these factors and consider reaching out to Marmoset support for further assistance.

What You'll Learn
Camera positioning
Marmoset Toolbag's camera system is designed to simulate the behaviour of real-world cameras, allowing you to control settings like Depth of Field and Field of View. Each scene has a Main Camera object by default, which can be found in the Scene hierarchy. You can also add more cameras by pressing Ctrl+K on your keyboard or via the Scene menu.
If you are experiencing issues with camera positioning, it may be due to the keyframing, which records the explicit transforms while the viewport camera navigation rotates around a point in front of it. This can result in unexpected behaviour when making edits to the camera and playing them back. A workaround for this is to create a group object and place it where you want the camera's pivot point to be, and then put the camera in that group. This way, you can use the transforms of the group object instead of manipulating the camera directly.
Additionally, if you are using a non-default camera, you need to ensure that you add the specific camera you want to render from in the Render tab. You can also try parenting your lights to your camera object to achieve the desired lighting while rotating the model instead of the camera.
If you are using multiple cameras, they will be exported and a dropdown will be added to the Viewer interface for selection. You can hide any cameras in your scene that you do not want to export by clicking the eyeball icon in the outliner.

Keyframing camera rotation
Marmoset Toolbag's camera system is designed to simulate the behaviour of real-world cameras, allowing you to control settings like Depth of Field and Field of View. Each scene has a Main Camera object by default, which can be found in the Scene hierarchy. To create more cameras, press Ctrl+K on your keyboard or add one via the Scene menu > Add Object > Camera.
To address this, you can create a group object and place it where you want the camera's pivot point to be. Then, put the camera in that group. This way, you can use the transforms of the group object instead of manipulating the camera directly, making it easier to rotate around an object.
To copy keyframes, select the keys in the keyframe editor, copy them (Ctrl+C), then go to the other object and select the track you want to paste into, and paste (Ctrl+V). The keys will be pasted starting from the current frame.
If you want the rotation to be different in different frames, ensure that the box next to the Transform property of the layer is checked. If not, expand its arrow in the timeline and click the Key icon next to the Transform property.

Multiple cameras
Marmoset Toolbag's camera system is designed to simulate the behaviour of real-world cameras, allowing you to control settings like Depth of Field and Field of View (FoV). Each scene has a Main Camera object by default, but you can create more cameras by pressing Ctrl+K on your keyboard or by adding one via the Scene menu.
As of Toolbag 3.04, multiple cameras are supported. If your scene has more than one camera, it will be exported and a dropdown will be added to the Viewer interface. You can also hide certain cameras from being exported by clicking the eyeball icon in the outliner.
If you're trying to get a camera from Maya to Marmoset, you can copy the values from your camera in Maya to the camera in Marmoset. However, you may encounter some inconsistencies in how FoV is calculated between the two programs. For example, a Focal Length of 35 in Maya is roughly equivalent to a FoV of 32.5 in Marmoset.
Additionally, in Maya, a camera's "Fit Resolution Gate" is typically set to "Horizontal", but Marmoset requires Overscan. So, if you set your camera in Maya to Overscan and then choose your crop, it should match the settings in Marmoset.

Camera behaviour during animated sequences
Marmoset Toolbag's camera system is designed to simulate the behaviour of real-world cameras, allowing you to control settings like Depth of Field and Field of View. Each scene has a Main Camera object by default, and you can create more cameras if needed.
The Control menu lets you adjust the camera's behaviour during animated sequences. These settings are relevant to video renders only. You can set limits to a camera object to restrict how others view your model on the web.
Keyframing camera rotation can be challenging due to technical reasons. The keyframing records the explicit transforms, while the viewport camera navigation rotates around a point in front of it. As a workaround, you can create a group object and place the group where you want the camera's pivot point to be, then put the camera in that group. This way, you can use the transforms of the group object instead of manipulating the camera directly, making it easier to rotate around an object.
Additionally, you can keyframe the camera for movements like panning if you want to layer them with other animations. To copy keyframes, select the desired keys in the keyframe editor, use the Ctrl+C shortcut, then go to the target object and paste the keys into the desired track using Ctrl+V. The copied keys will be pasted starting from the current frame.
It's worth noting that if you're using the skin shader, you may notice differences in shadows between Marmoset Viewer and Toolbag. This is because the Shadow Blur skin shader setting in Toolbag depends on scene/mesh scale and camera FOV. Marmoset has updated the skin shader in Marmoset Viewer for better consistency, but similar changes are still being researched for Toolbag 3.
Regarding the issue of the camera position being different between Marmoset Toolbag and the Marmoset Viewer render, ensure you're using the default camera under the render tab or specify the desired camera for rendering.

Camera lens effects
Marmoset Toolbag's camera system is designed to simulate the behaviour of real-world cameras, allowing you to control settings like Depth of Field and Field of View. You can adjust the camera's behaviour during animated sequences, and set limits to a camera object to limit how others view your model on the web.
The Ray Traced mode in Toolbag offers the highest quality Depth of Field, but it is more demanding on performance and generates a lot of noise. The lens flare effect happens when light enters a camera lens, creating bright streaks or halos in the picture. This effect can be customized to your preference, with adjustments available per light and per camera.
To edit an individual light’s lens flare, select the Light object in the scene, enable Cast Lens Flare, and adjust its strength. You can then select the Camera object and adjust the Flare and Focus sections of Lens settings to control the global aesthetic of the flares generated. Changing the Aperture shape in the Focus section allows you to mimic specific bokeh and flare effects, with shapes like circles, hearts, and multi-sided rings available.
Motion blur occurs when the camera captures a subject in motion, creating a streaking or smearing effect. It is commonly used to convey a sense of speed, action, or dynamic movement. Adjusting the shutter speed dial determines the amount of blur, with smaller numbers producing a more exaggerated blur.
In addition to the lens flare and motion blur effects offered by Marmoset, there are various other ways to achieve creative camera lens effects. For example, Prism Lens FX offers filters that create a Starburst FX from the highlights in your frame, adding a pop of flare to your images and videos. Urth Effects Filters provide diffusion black mist filters that give you creative effects without the need for post-production.
Some photographers also experiment with holding different objects over the lens to create unique effects. For instance, prisms and copper pipes can be used to hold over the lens to create interesting results.

Frequently asked questions
You can pan the camera in Marmoset 3 by keyframing the camera for movements like panning. To do this, create a group object, place the group where you want the camera's pivot point to be, and then put the camera in the group.
To create a group object, select the object you want to be the group and use the "Create Group" function in the "Object" menu.
With the group object selected, use the transform controls to position the group at the desired pivot point for the camera.
