Modo tuts?

Moltar

Hey guys, been using Max for about 3 years now and I've finally had my fill of it in terms of price, bugs and crashes.

I've been dabbling in Modo for about 2 weeks and so far I'm really enjoying it - I want to start using it full time, however.. I'm struggling to find a good in-depth tutorial and was hoping that someone here could recommend one to me?

Modo's a pretty great tool. Its easier to learn when youre being more specific with what your asking for. What are you trying to learn to do?

It's so much easier to use than Max, IMO.  

Specifically game art, an example would be props, environment modelling, highpoly and lowpoly modeling.

Max can be pretty much like modo but it has the power of stacks... of course modo does have some really cool features, it just depends on the user. Modo is pretty much GARBAGE with out these scripts which is the first thing you NEED. http://www.indigosm.com/modoscripts.htm Then watch tor frick's videos, dont pay too much attention to the round edge shader, (its neat don't get me wrong) look for how he models, tools, and hot keys. Thats pretty much it good luck!

Never got the 'hang' of working with ADSK apps. Had initially trialled max back in 2009 when looking too switch from Blender after 5yrs diligently digging down into all things sub-d hardsurface. I guess for me in the end really came down to workflow efficiency/effectiveness outputting a certain aesthetic which IMO max couldn't quite get there...

Anyway as for your query, I'd second the above Tor Frick plug, his Gumroad channel especially is a MUST watch if you're into hardsurface stuff plus a list of other assorted resources can be found here on Steam.

I really enjoyed the Modo Courseware from 3d garage. He does a really great job of going over all of it. As well the Rich Hurrey series on rigging does a really great job of covering a lot of the other tools within it far beyond just what's used in rigging.

Also the modo website has a great bit of little tutorials from Brad Peebler who does an excellent job of teaching.

Warren Marshall's short form tutorials have been great for me, as well:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5dRrOarPI6ufGWsabG28FQ
