Modo tests to random environment

Some time ago I decided to start learning Modo so I made this thread for my random Modo test. I was 3ds max fanboy before but I really like Modo modeling tools. Would be nice to know good Modo tutorials for a n00b like me. I also post my progress to here.

You seem like you've got the hang of it.

hi-poly stuff in modo is fun but I'm wondering how hard is it to bake normal maps from round edge shaders. There is no tutorials for that so its going to be a lot of testing. Tips are welcome!

Here is another one that I made. I got the idea for this from Soma game´s omni tool.

Are these proper hard surface or are you using booleans and rounded edge shader stuffs?

It´s pretty much 50/50. I model the base and big forms with basic sub-d and then add details with booleans and render with round edge shader.
