Re: Why Modo?
I tried 901 trial on linux and it was a painful experience for me. Multiple crashes in short time span, bad viewport performance especially new advanced pbr mode, no AA whatsoever. tried it on amd card with both proprietary and xorg drivers. maybe it was my OS setup or overall instability of freshly released 901. I heard… -
Re: Why Modo?
I know there has been a lot of Modo talk recently, especially with 901 Indie coming out and a bit of controversy surrounding its limitations (or lack there of).... but it seems like a lot of news is coming out all at once, some thats worth sharing due to timing of it all. With that said, Fabric Engine 2 just released.… -
Re: Why Modo?
Most people come for the flashy features like Mesh Fusion, and stay for the little things like selections and action centers - things that already exist in other programms, but were integrated very well in Modo. Modo simply feels well thought out. You start to notice that max/maya are really old programs that kept building… -
Re: Why Modo?
I think I can help out here. I've worked in the game industry and the product design industry. When it comes down to it Modo feels like it was designed recently, where as 3DS Max and Maya feel like they were designed in the 90s and have just been upgraded and upgraded and upgraded to the point that they are bloated. Modo… -
Re: Why Modo?
I come from Max and Maya ages ago, and I've been using Modo Indie for a few weeks. My thoughts as a modeler: - The Ui is fantastic, it just feels really modern. Reminds me a bit of XSI Ui with how slick things look. - The layer system takes a while to get used to. The fact that every separate mesh object gets treated as… -
Re: Why Modo?
Future SPs will certainly feature some more polishing and bug squashing but this time around they seem to be far more substantial in that there will be added features/elements or feature enhancements coming along with them. As for Indie, definitely stay tuned for more information on where its going. Its a bit of a slow… -
Re: Why Modo?
Maybe, but i come from Maya and i know the benefits of Max stack in production, especially for archviz. Sure modo looks like to be the best modeler out there. I've attempted to learn a bit but it's hard when it's not the tool you use every day. I'm dowloading Snefer gumroad tutorial, pretty sure i'll be like : ohhh myy,… -
Re: Why Modo?
That's actually another thing worth mentioning about modo. All the tools can be used in all modes, the bevel tool works on faces, edges and verts. So it kind of combines the extrude, bevel, inset, chamfer and other tools in one. It reduces the amount of hotkeys you need to memorize quite a bit, which let's you memorize… -
Re: Why Modo?
Most applications don't have one, while it is nice its not the only way to work. If it was the best approach, I think everyone else would be trying to add them. I personally have never felt limited by a lack of a max like modifier stack, but then again if you come from Maya the Modo approach will feel far more natural.… -
Re: Why Modo?
A major factor in Modo adoption has to with the fact you dont get punished for not upgrading between versions and it is cheaper than going with Maya or Max. In short the licensing is very pro consumer. Many of love the fact we can skip upgrading, and then upgrade to the latest version at no added cost, its the same price…
