Re: Modo Rules!
Well yeah Maya does that for curves - but it explodes if you do, say, an extrude on a whole object to give it thickness, then want to punch a hole in the surface by deleting a polygon out of the base shape. The few times I asked this to experienced Maya users I was always told 'oh give me a minute I'm sure it's possible… -
Re: Modo Rules!
Yeah MoP I was evaluating the app earlier last as an alternative for Maya and gave up for the same reason - no access to a stack of any kind. Maya does not have that either, but to justify an app switch I really expect something as flexible and powerful as Max at least, and I don't think that Modo delivers this... It's… -
Re: Modo Rules!
Modo is indeed awesome, and that link to Seneca's action centers tutorial is one of the clearest explanations of why. I don't think it'll ever come close to Maya even if they do add skeletal animation- the infrastructure just doesn't appear to be there. Bizarrely, they demo'd skeletal animation in their 'Nexus' siggraph… -
Re: Modo Rules!
cptincognito: heh, that reinforces the point I was trying to make to Talon - it's clear they're already not prepared to "rip out old stuff" if they need to upgrade some particular system, as proven by the fact that there's already a "legacy mode" for a tool. What if, 1-2 years from now, there's a "legacy mode" for every… -
Re: Modo Rules!
im definitely into the profile tools that are coming with 402 - this tool looks like an enviro dream. -
Re: Modo Rules!
Haha, silo still rocks when it comes to organic modeling, but if the luxology guys priced modo a bit cheaper, I might be more inclined to move to modo. -
Re: Modo Rules!
There are lots of people that do archviz in modo, and there are technically splines, but I wouldn't consider it anywhere near maya for nurbs modeling. I think you'd have to come up with a completely different workflow to take advantage of it. -
Re: Modo Rules!
I want play with modo. Max sub D's made me sad so I tried silo out and it was pretty jazzy. but if Modo is more powerful I am going to work that program... it says I cannot DL 401 yet but I will OH YEAH i will I am going to work it! BEEP BEEP modeling party time coming through.. ok back to work -
Re: Modo Rules!
I dunno - they've got a more recent foundation so it's more likely to be more stable and streamlined for including new features. They will never be able to get into the same market share as Max / Maya / XSI if they don't include the features needed to make it a full-featured development application. Right now it's pretty… -
Re: Modo Rules!
I come from an arch vis background but now am doing all kinds of hard surface machinery, etc, but I still have a tendency to work with the same type of spline modeling work flow. Lots of extrudes sweeps, very heavy use of trim and outline in max's spline. I have been mixing in alot more sub-d stuff lately. But I am…
