People who can use Modo say it's one of the fastest modelling app. There is nothing wrong with cut tool. If any one have problem with modelling in Modo it's because they lack knowledge about Modo or are trying to incorporate habits from other apps.
Well, you can get a 30 day trial of Modo and figure out if you like the booleans or not. My only disappointment with Modo is the way it handles (or, rather, doesn't handle) smoothing groups. It's kind of hokey...
Every time i read a thread about modo on this board someone says that its not a fast modeller. This simply is not true. Your speed in the program is dependant on your hotkeys and scripts and how much time you have practiced in modo. There seems to be some people who have the misconception that you cant use the cut tool…
Yeah Modo is great, the modeling tools are similar to Lightwave but more advanced (eg. Topology Tools, CA Tools...). But the Viewport Display is slow on ATI\AMD Cards, thats a big con! :( And NO you don't get lifetime update! ALl you get are Service Packs for the Version you have purchased, but have to pay every X.Point…
modo is great, and silo was great in it;s days, but devlopmeant of silo has compleaty halted, there aren't even bug fixes going towards it, which it really needs, so i wouldn't pay money for silo in it's current state.
I recently made the switch to Modo from 3dsmax. I've a couple months in and I'm fairly happy. It helped that one of my co-workers made the transition before me so I had someone I could ask when I was stumped on workflow. The biggest reason I changed was out of frustration with autodesk and 3dsmax. Autodesk hasn't seemed…
You don't have to activate the tool... you can change that in Pipeline tab. In any tool you want. Loop Slice in Modo stops on non quads because it doesn't know where to go... seems reasonable ;P in max it's the same but maybe there is better solution and I just haven't seen it yet. I never had an issue with cut tools in…
@WarrenMarhall It does perfectly capable of handling smoothing groups,since version 501.Not sure which version you last tried.It doesn't have smoothing groups tab like in max but hey it works. @Wentzel There's boolean and drill tools in modo,booleans are not a useful practice for hi-poly modelings but sometimes it comes…
