Maya navigation wont work in modo, halp?!
I just got super annoyed by the strange lag i got in Maya, so i thought. Hey, why not give modo a shot. And so i did. The first thing i do is to turn on Maya navigation. Everything works fine, except one thing. And that is zooming with Alt + RMB. WTF? Alt + LMB and Alt + MMB works great. They rotate and pan. But the zoom… -
Re: [Cinema4D] Infamous Shift-Drag Edges.
I still stand by Modo + Messiah. Though there is one thing you can't do with this combination, which is explicitly edit your vertex normals. You'll have smoothing groups (Modo 501) just not a way to make nice soft looking foliage planes. I think it could be done with a script but as yet no one has written one (it's on my… -
Re: Dota 2 - Workshop Thread
Modo uses as smoothing group system similar to Max by the look of it. The tools are sometimes called different things but all 3D programs use some kind of smoothing group system, and the theory is pretty universal.

Re: Modo to UDK
There is also the ase export script and Chai's pipelineIO custom FBX exporter. Out of the box with Modo 501 your best bet is the Autodesk FBX 2006.11 file format, haven't tested the collision meshes with it yet though. The regular "Autodesk FBX" file format from Modo is fairly broken in UDK. Collada works pretty good… -
Re: Hard Surface Modeling - Sculpt or don't sculpt
Yep, sculptris is very handy, it saves me a lot of time. I don't need to model nor the exact form, just a fast block out full of triangles :) Unfortunately, the sculpting tools didn't change for better, they are still the same :( . They did some minor UI changes and they added pixar subdiv as much. But at the end, what… -
Re: Practicing baking - Pillar
After looking at it again this morning I realised I hadn't properly set hard edges on all the correct parts (Doing so in modo 501 is a bit of a pain really. For the islands of a cylindrical object, I have to set the smoothing groups like: A (for the polygons left of where I want the seam), AB (for the rest), B (for the… -
Re: [Modo] Twinbow II (WIP)
So what I did was use a new cylinder with the same amount of side to stencil through the mesh, creating the edges, however this seemed to make it worse. So I'll leave it how it is for now. The only significant pieces I have yet to model are the wooden parts seen in this image: excluding the shoulder rest part, as I already… -
Re: post-apocalyptic level design
Cheers guys! :) I added more moss and algae to the buildings and tweaked the water a bit as well.. what do you think? The blue water stuff at the bottom of the town base texture is for blending in the game - as the underlying water layer has the same texture so it will look like it's fading into the depth.. easy trick… -
Re: A new modeling tool released
kary: Don't just watch.. get stuck in :) Let's help make VW the best modelling app around. Modo 501 has some interesting new modelling tools worth taking note. I really like the idea of Modo's Workplane. [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6QL05Vf4YI&feature=related"]Also, this vid.[/ame] I've been thinking about what… -
Game Unit Snapping For Modo To UDK
Hello all Modo users might find this useful :poly121: It sorts out the grid size issues in relation to UDK and I have created a pie menu with F1 as the hot key. This is the menu: Modo (turns grid snapping off) 1024 512 256 64 8 4 1 I added the LXM files along with the cfg file so you can create your own menus. You can edit…
