I love using modo, but it's viewport has always been one of it's biggest drawbacks to me. I haven't checked the hype train in awhile - is this something they'll be addressing at all?
Was the 701 launch the one where they didn't have a release date, but it was hyped up a lot as you say, then BAM in your face new Modo out of the blue one day. I miss Modo and the Luxology/Foundry community :(
It's more like a, "hey, we're finally ready to show you something soon." Not a feature showcase. The teasing is just a tradition to get people hyped. I miss interacting with Brad though. He was usually entertaining and a bit more informative with these things.
