OBJ is obsolete for actual game art as it only supports 1 UV channel. There's also the way Modo handles smoothing. It's terrible. I love Modo ... but the smoothing is terrible. Basically you have to forget everything that Max or Maya taught you about smoothing groups and learn the Modo way. Once you do, you're fine, but…
The Foundry is offering up a demo of Modo and MeshFusion through referral links for those interested: http://community.thefoundry.co.uk/trymodo/?referral=Warren+Marshall I don't get anything out of that referral other than some free training video so I don't have some nefarious goal other than spreading the MeshFusion…
I am a new Modo user (Been using Maya for years) and I can't seem to find a way to select through objects in Modo. It will only select the objects/components that are not obscured by anything. While I can see a place for this, I would still like to, say, select the vertices on both sides of an object in one swipe. Is there…
Actually, before you go and delete your user configs. Is it a matter of hitting the Caps Lock key? I don't remember if Modo's hotkeys are case sensitive, but Caps Lock is really close to the Tab key which is a super common Modo key to press. i have some vague memories of having this problem in one of the 3D apps it might…
hey all- I've got a bunch of undulating tiles which are flat at the edges where I want them to join, which I want to use in a seperate editor to piece together. I'd like the normals on their edges to be pointing perfectly upwards so when I place separate tiles together the lighting will be unified at the joins. Currently,…
OK, here is what's been giving me a headache: I like to transfer geometry between ZBrush and MODO and make great use of creases and Dynamic Subdiv in ZBrush to keep my geometry nice and clean. I know that OBJ doesn't retain creasing information, so I use FBX as an exchange format. However, it seems that I'm only able to…
To be fair, you did say "but why would modo not allow me to copy the UI im working in, rename it and customize it to anyway i want ? For now you cant copy a default window and rework it." This is something you can do in Modo. Why would you say that and then follow it up with "of course i know how to copy, save create a…
Hello again MODO fellows, I know how to do this in Maya but I've no clue where are the options to adjust the grid in MODO! How do you do this? Thanks for the help! :thumbup:
hello all. I just made the switch to Modo 801, I had been working in 3dsMax for a while, but migrated over. I am pretty new to the Modo workflow, and just beginning my tinkering around. I have not found any Introduction tutorials on Lynda or Digital tutors for 801, and was wondering if anyone knows of a good all-round…
Hello, I am very new to Modo but I am trying to make a switch to it from Maya, because last summer I used modo to do some modelling and I really took a liking to the program! So right now I am trying to learn to bake normal maps with rounded edge shading (with various edge sizes using sets) since that would be super…
