modo

modo brings you the next generation of 3D modeling, animation, sculpting, effects and rendering in a powerful integrated package. An end-to-end solution delivering raw horsepower, refined technology and robust workflows, MODO is the creative option of choice for artists and designers around the world - from home-based hobbyists to Hollywood studios.

• MODO makes creative exploration possible with fast and intuitive polygon modeling and sculpting tools that allow you more time to explore and visualize new ideas
• Offers out-of-the-box value with highly-integrated modeling, painting, sculpting, effects, animation and unlimited network rendering capabilities
• Ensures consistency with a philosophy of tool re-use, easy-to-learn workflows and a fully customizable UI that is unmatched in any other 3D software
• Integrates seamlessly into existing pipelines with built-in Python scripting and versatile SDK
• Get instant results for interactive design reviews with the use of the photorealistic preview render

• Nodal Shading - Enhancing the existing material process, the new nodal shading view let's artists of every level create more complex shaders and materials.
• Enhanced Snapping - Create complex sets of snapping conditions with the addition of new snapping presets, enhanced snapping options and intelligent snapping controls.
• Animation Improvements - New keyframing features include Time Markers, Onion Skinning, Spacing Charts, and In-between Tools.
• Rigging and Deformers - The new Wrap, Lattice and Bezier Deformers extend MODO's robust Order of Operations (OoO) deformation tools.
• Referencing - Referencing in MODO 801 allows for efficient collaborative workflows and asset reuse that just simply works.
• New Collectives Workflows - MODO 801 features more advanced relighting capabilities in NUKE with the addition of Diffuse Coefficient Outputs.
• Dynamics and Particles - Further additions and refinements to MODO's Dynamics and Particle system frees you creatively - even the most ambitious ideas are possible.
• Hair and Fur - MODO 801 dramatically improves interactivity and control when styling hair and fur.
• Painting and Sculpting Enhancements - MODO 801 lets you paint curved lines across a surface with greater control.
• Texture Baking - MODO 801 now has the baking tools and access that games artists need.
• UV Unwrap - Unwrap with better results in less time when editing complex UV layouts or creating tiled UDIMs in MODO 801.
• GL Measures - Often MODO scenes contain a lot of information that is useful to both animators and anyone else who wishes to review or rework a scene. The GL Measures in MODO 801 give artists the ability to expose relevant information in the viewport display,
• New Materials and Textures - Additional preset material types have been added to MODO 801 allowing artists to more easily add realism to scenes containing complex, yet natural phenomena.
• General Improvements - MODO 801 brings high-end features to the masses and builds upon the groundbreaking content creation functionality that was implemented in the last release. Nearly every element of the end-to-end 3D workflow has been improved upon and tweaked in response to extensive customer feedback from a wide range of industries.
