2014-08-22 Thread Serch Mucino
I've been rigging in Modo for over a year now, after years of doing it in 3ds max, Maya, and Softimage. I can tell you that Modo has been a joy to use, although it still has some way to go. Workflow-wise, I'd say Modo is closer to Maya than anything else. I LOVE Modo's schematic environment. It's

They state that commercial entities are limited to a max of 3 Indie and Engine licenses. This is exactly what I had been looking forward to for a long time. Side FX has done it again. I'm sold. This + Modo will have me kicking it for the foreseeable future. Sold! Sergio Mucino On Thu, Aug

Modo has the nicest schematic view I've had the pleasure of using, after ICE. It still needs some work (it lacks any form of layout and management tools), but I believe this will change soon. Modo's schematic is based on workspaces. These are basically viewports that provide a view into a part of

You can also assign colors to nodes directly in the schematic view (even non-item related nodes, such as math nodes). I would like Modo to color-code sockets by data type. That would be quite useful. Sergio Mucino On Tue, Jul 15, 2014 at 2:54 PM, Tim Crowson tim.crow...@magneticdreams.com

to 1999 when we are used to Softimage... and so far I havent found the slightest interest in getting more deep than just doing CA in Maya, so im looking around and trying to decide if I should invest time in Modo or Houdini :) On Thu, Jun 5, 2014 at 4:59 PM, Serch Mucino sergio.muc

Hey Manuel! The nodal shading in Modo works great, but it's not a full replacement of the Shader Tree. They work great together though. I guess the best parallel to this I've seen was how Combustion works... you can do all your effects work in the schematic, and then just order layers in their
