Modo with a GTX 1080?
Modo has notoriously horrible performance in certain areas, most notably animation. Deforming, weight painting, etc. On my GTX 780 Ti, it's effectively unusable for all but basic low poly modeling work. Has anyone tried running it on the new GTX 1080 or 1070? Or at least a Titan X? Is a beastly video card enough to negate… -

Since I'm putting together a new build and typically the issue of GPU rears it's ugly head as usual. Read countless topics on various CG forums, opinions are mixed.

maxscript idea - extrude surface expand
Hey all, another modeling workflow improvement I have been thinking of lately. I find myself wanting to 'expand' the surface of polygon shells alot.

(as far as I know it's OpenGL Normal) That's what I'm doing: 1. Export mesh from Maya to fbx. Triangulated, with smoothing groups, with tangents and binormals. 2. In…
