MODO | Vaughan in 60 Seconds Videos

WilliamVaughan

Someone suggested a start a thread that I can update with my series of videos. Here's a new one... I'll start with this:

MODO | Textured Stitches

There are many ways to add stitch detail to your mesh. In this example, I use a weight map and procedural texture to show a road less traveled.

MODO: Introduction to the Revolve Channel Modifier

This video quickly shows how to setup four wheels on a vehicle using the Revolve channel modifier. The primary output of the Revolve Channel Modifier is a world space distance traveled along a specified vector, as well as the distance traveled. This modifier also has channels to compute a rotation value from a given radius and a percentage traveled along a specified length. 

http://www.pixelfondue.com/blog/2016/11/18/modo-introduction-to-the-revolve-channel-modifier

MODO: Interactively Add Sides and Segments to Primitives
When working with the MODO primitives, you can interactively add sides and segments by right clicking and dragging in a viewport. This video shows several ways to interactively add sides segments to primitives without using the input fields. 

http://www.pixelfondue.com/blog/2016/11/20/modo-interactively-add-sides-and-segments-to-primitives

MODO: SubD Text Creation
The SubD Text tool found in the Pushing Points Toolkit for MODO, creates subD text based on user input with four text type options to choose from. This video is a quick introduction to working with this tool.
http://www.pixelfondue.com/blog/2016/11/20/modo-subd-text-creation

MODO: Rigging Oval Eyes
When working on stylized character models I often like to create oval eyes. While this may result in a more appealing character it can pose a potential issue for rigging and animation. Fortunately, MODO offers an easy solution for this problem.
http://www.pixelfondue.com/blog/2016/11/21/modo-rigging-oval-eyes

MODO: Introduction to the Spikey Tool

The Spikey tool is a polygon tool that takes selected polygons and adds a vertex to the center of the polygon. It then prepositions that vertex away from the original polygon based on the spike strength setting to create a spike.
This quick video shows how to use the Spikey tool to create Knurling and how to change the polyflow on organic meshes.

http://www.pixelfondue.com/blog/2016/11/26/modo-introduction-to-the-spikey-tool

MODO: Introduction to Macros
Macros are the simplest kind of script that consists of a linear list of commands that are executed in order. I have found macros to be some of my most powerful tools in my modeling arsenal. In this video, I recreate one of my Pushing Points tools using the Macro recorder in MODO.

http://www.pixelfondue.com/blog/2016/11/26/modo-introduction-to-macros

MODO: Fix Symmetry

The symmetry tool in MODO is a quick way to interactively fix minor symmetry errors when working in symmetry mode. While this is an amazingly powerful tool, there are times you will need to manually correct symmetry issues. In this video, I share a technique I have used for years which always results in a perfect symmetrical mesh.

http://www.pixelfondue.com/blog/2016/11/26/modo-fix-symmetry

MODO: Introduction to the Contour Tool

The Contour tool found in the topology layout, generates curves from user-defined slices across an existing polygon surface. The resulting curves can be used with the Bridge tool for retopologizing a surface. Although this is a powerful tool for retopology, the curves that are generated with the contour tool can also be very useful for other operations in MODO as well. This video explores a few uses for this powerful tool.

http://www.pixelfondue.com/blog/2016/12/5/modo-introduction-to-the-contour-tool

MODO: Creating a Piston Rig
This video walks through the creation of a piston rig and shows Position, Direction and Vertex Position constraint modifiers in action.

http://www.pixelfondue.com/blog/2016/12/8/modo-creating-a-piston-rig

MODO: Introduction to the Curve Transform Tool
The Curve Transform tool is an often overlooked, but valuable resource in MODO. With the Curve Transform tool, you can quickly preposition multiple mesh items along the path of a curve.
http://www.pixelfondue.com/blog/2016/12/14/modo-introduction-to-the-curve-transform-tool

MODO: Introduction to Bloom

Bloom is an image processing effect used to reproduce an imaging artifact of real-world cameras.This effect produces fringes of light extending from the borders of bright areas in an image, contributing to the illusion of an extremely bright light overwhelming the camera or eye capturing the scene.
The Bloom feature in MODO is a great resource for recreating these image artifacts and can also be useful when creating items such as neon tubing and light sabers.

MODO | Lighting with a Cuculoris or Gobo

In lighting for film, theatre and still photography, a cuculoris (Cookie) or GOBO is a physical stencil or template that is placed inside or in front of a light source to alter the shape of the emitted light. In this video, I show how these stenciled templates can be easily setup in MODO using a standard Spotlight and an image.

MODO | Auto Hip Centering

Expressions can procedurally control elements by overriding or modifying channel values. This can be an easy way to cut down on keyframes by automating portions of your animation. There are several ways to create a character rig with auto hip centering, and in this quick video I show the use of expressions in MODO as one option.

Fingus

As a Modo user I just wanna drop in and say thank you so much for making all of these. I really like this format of tutorial, short and to the point and only covers one thing.

I'm inspired to make some in a similar style for zBrush and Unity.

WilliamVaughan

It's the kind of video I would want. If you do make some let me know... I'd love to check them out. Glad you like these...more on the way.

MODO | Rust

Rust and corrosion occurs when metal surfaces are exposed to the elements, primarily oxygen and water, from moisture in the air, or water collecting in creases and crevices.  This can happen when protective finishes become scratched, chipped or wear off over time. Fortunately, there is an easy way to isolate these areas without the need of UVs and hand painting. This quick video shows one way of adding rust to the surface of your mesh in MODO.

MODO | Soft Body Goal Map

This video is a quick look at the power of goal maps in MODO. When working with Soft Body Dynamics in MODO, a 'Goal Map' is a Vertex Map that controls how much the soft body mesh retains its initial shape.

http://www.pixelfondue.com/blog/2017/5/2/modo-soft-body-goal-map

WilliamVaughan

MODO | Geometry Constraints

This video is a quick introduction to geometry constraints in MODO. Geometry Position Constraints enable you to attach an item's center to a vertex, edge or polygon's positon on another mesh item.

Geometry Normal Constraints match an item's orientation to that of a specified components normal direction.

http://www.pixelfondue.com/blog/2017/5/1/modo-geometry-constraints

WilliamVaughan

MODO | Dynamics: Sleep

This video takes a quick look at using the Sleep options in MODO. By default, dynamic objects are active when any dynamic simulation starts and the object will begin to react immediately. The Sleep options enable you to change this behavior when working with rigid body items, delaying when individual objects become active.

MODO | Texture a Logo on a Glass Surface

There are several options for texturing a logo on a glass surface and in this video, I share the option I prefer to use. Using this setup enables you to isolate the material attributes of the logo on the glass surface and adjust them independently.

The bottle used in this video is from the Chris 3D Bottle Kit for MODO: http://www.chris3d.com/bottlekit

MODO | Show as Silhouette 

This video is a quick introduction to the Show as Silhouette display option in MODO. When the Show as Silhouette option is enabled the item will be displayed as a solid shape with no interior details. This display mode can be extremely useful when designing a character because the silhouette is the most immediately recognizable and identifiable shape of the character. It can also be beneficial when animating to ensure that key poses are expressing certain information.

http://www.pixelfondue.com/blog/2017/5/8/modo-show-as-silhouette
