1. Open marmoset toolbag

2. First, select render option, and enable lighting, global illumination and ambient occlusion effects. 
For now is no reason to change voxel resolution and occlusion detail.

3. Next step- main camera options. Change field of view as you like, enable sharpen and grain effects. 
Grain will help you get rid of banding gradients on background.Also check capture setting. Set sampling, resolution and file format what you need.

4. Import your mesh.

5. Assign texture maps. Remember invert roughness channel, and uncheck srgb in metallic map. Also you can 
turn off mipmaps, for make your texture more detailed.

6. Change the viewing angle and choose and set HDRI. Mostly i use HDRI`s from Joost Vanhoutte https://gumroad.com/joost. They are cool and
free:) That specific HDRI called cathedral02.

8. Start to add lights. You can click on HDRI screen and/or make new light from upper menu. Personally i started with edge lights to show 
contours of asset.

That's all:) Thank you!
