Dan-r and his Modo quest
Hi Polyfolk! I have started this thread to share my progress learning Modo, and hopefully pick up some tips an tricks from those of you who know the application. What inspired me to start was watching people like Tor Frick, Warren Marshall, and William Vaughan and seeing what the program could do. I originally started my… -
MODO 701 - Vertex Normal Toolkit
If you're a MODO user, I've put together a toolkit for controlling vertex normals. It includes; - A bunch of tools for controlling edge smoothing (Maya-style), but also has full smoothing group support (better than MODO's native support). - Some "final pass" normals options, including area weighting, angle weighting and… -
Script: Step Gap vert/edge/poly Ring - lik modo selecrion
Modo selections style in 3ds max. Assign a hotkey(or button), select 2 verts/edges/faces woth desired gap between them and start pressing your hotkey. :) http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/step-gap-vertedgepoly-ring-like-modo-selection Why I can't embed the video ?! :) -
Spline Modeling with Modo: Doesn't work as planned?
I know that Modo is primarily a sub D modeler, but I wanted to try patch modeling using splines. I realized that spline modeling is not the strong part of Modo, after fiddling with the functions for an hour. First, the patched geometry looked OK, until I thickened it. Suddenly I see seems and unwanted gaps everywhere.… -
Re: Modo 902: How to move multiple vertices along their normal axis
Thanks, that's what I was looking for! Do you know of a good tutorial on how to bake with a cage in modo? I think I know what you mean with the morph map but I'm still pretty new to the rendering in modo. I've used xNormal before and just exported the cage, highpoly and lowpoly and baked the maps there. It would save me… -
Planning to get subscriptions for Modo&Mari Indie. Any suggestions?
My payday is June 1st. As soon as the money is in my account I will get 6-month subscriptions for Modo&Mari Indie combo from Steam. And during the upcoming Steam sale around the end of June I plan to buy 3D Coat Educational. To me, using scripts is a bit unnecessary since I hardly touched it when I installed recommended… -
Modo to CryEngine workflow.
I wanted to ask if anyone has solid Modo to Ce3 workflow. Without going through 3ds max. I don't have much much experience in using CryEngine. I know you should export maps as specific Tiffs through Photoshop. I know I can use xNormal plugin to bake maps (it works on the older xNormal version only though). What formats… -
Dynamic Live Tubes & Wires in Modo using mesh ops
Took a lot of screwing around and research yesterday in Modo to get this process down. For awhile now I have used a junky workflow to get wires while missing max's spline system, but now this wire creation workflow has me feeling I am not missing out on anything in regards to max. https://youtu.be/VPXUI2RDA6E I hope this… -
Modo edge bevel issue (workaround)
Modo's edge bevel tool is a pain on low poly objects. It has been debated for years and Lux have simply ignored it which is a shame because I doubt that it will ever get fixed. Maya has nailed it btw ! The problem is edges that connect at 45 degree angles creates a mess: Solution A increases the tri count and we want to… -
[MAXScript] How to go to subobject mode on instances?
Hey all, I use these scripts to toggle subobject modes in Max. If no EditableP/EditP is selected atm, it goes there, unless some mods are selected (in this example, Symmetry). ( fn goToBottom= ( local obj = selection[1] if obj != undefined then ( if subobjectLevel == undefined then Max Modify Mode if…
