Re: Is Modo really that amazing?
I completely agree. But it's not like Luxology have been great about this either, they've relied on Senecas scripts for over a decade to cover holes in the Modo toolset. Writing script in Modo is also more of a pita due to a lack of a built in script editor, which means when you do need a script for something it's that… -
Re: Is Modo really that amazing?
Very solid toolset for retopo, uvs, low poly, subd, but really lacks as far as animation, bakeing and rigging. It is also a bitch to script for, it has a scripting interface but it is very convoluted. -
Re: Is Modo really that amazing?
The scripting interface is just more limited and harder to use than Max or Maya as well, you pretty much have to recompose macro strings using a scripting language like python or pearl. -
Re: Is Modo really that amazing?
PolyHertz - I appreciate MaxScript and I know there are a ton of scripts out there for Max. However, if a link to a MaxScript is the answer to every question then why should companies ever write another feature as long as they have a scripting language? You're paying $3,500 for a modeling app - it would be nice to not have… -
Re: Is Modo really that amazing?
Agreed on some of that, for sure. The scripting in Modo is ... obtuse, to say the least. Most of my home brew stuff is macros. I think Seneca's scripts have been a blessing and a curse. Yes, they fill in a lot of holes in the MODO toolset which is great - but at the same time, that allows Luxology to not work on filling… -
Re: Is Modo really that amazing?
(Full disclosure: I'm an ardent Modo fanboy and have been using it since 201.) In a word, yes. Caveats to follow. Modo gives an absurd amount of control and ease of use where subD modeling and retopology are concerned. In addition, there are tons of freely available scripts and plugins that extend and build upon Modo's… -

Ariel Chai's PipelineIO script has a bent normals function for foliage. http://community.thefoundry.co.uk/discussion/post.aspx?f=37&t=41509&p=724667 -

Latest version of Farfarer's Vertex Normal Toolkit has an option for casting a background object's normals to the meshes. It has a similar uses with Normal Thief script in 3dsmax. Useful for overall vertex manipulation for certain parts of the meshes. -
Re: Is Modo really that amazing?
My main worries are poor animation, UV, smoothing groups, viewport shaders, less scripts/addons/utilities/plugins, no particle or simulation systems, less documentation, resources, and tutorials. Actually it's $1,500, I was wrong about it's price. Softimage had a $495 version of their software aimed at freelancers, and a…
