modo tutorials

JoshWilkinson

Trying to learn Modo for a new job but a lot of the stuff I'm finding is for rendering/ rigging/ animating or any number of unique things that aren't quite relevant to a game artist's work flow.

Anybody know of any online tuts on modo that I can use? I often work from a reference plane in Autodesk softwares so if that's covered, it's a big plus. Free or paid tuts, either works.

I got into modo at 601 and i learned a ton from this site (although haven't checked it in awhile):

Some decent tutorials on Modo at Digital Tutors, including a "Getting Started" which walks you from square 1.

I have some super basic stuff + links to awesome scripts in the google doc in my signature.

To put a reference image plane in Modo, just drag and drop an image onto the viewport from a file manager.

Yeah they have been getting some slack for not really pushing the game dev front in terms of documentation and features.

With that said, check out the videos on the Modo Steam Edition page, as they are more focused for the game asset pipeline.

Also if you head into the chat channel there, you can usually find Greg Brown or someone else from the Foundry (along with some other game artist) in there and they can help answer any questions or share resources.
