I don't have a lot to show for it, but I do have some experience with
Arnold. My opininion is that modo is not far behind the likes of v-Ray
and Arnold. In fact depending on the scene, I have had modo outperform
Arnold. It is definitely trickier to get photo-real believability out of
modo than v-Ray, but it's not entirely impossible. Where it falls a bit
short is not so much in the rendering ability but modo's performance
with large scenes in general. On the other hand, Luxology is closing a
lot of gaps with its releases these days, and the renderer is improving
quite rapidly, as is managament of large scenes. Preview, in particular,
always gets major improvements.

once modo has a proper api for it... probably. the amount of work
jacobo is doing to make this work is staggering as is any renderer
integration/plugin. i know, i tried to do it for thea render but
realized how much time i put in was no where near what i was going to
get back for it.
i couldn't find the moma to sitoa comparison, i saw a moma and mtoa
(maya to arnold) comparison. i am surprised though, someone who has
worked with arnold before (at zinkia on pocoyo) he should know mtoa
integration might not represent arnold standalone in the best light.
since he does have experience with arnold, i am also interested in his
opinion of it versus arnold.

This is pretty cool:

Since there are plenty of Softimage to _____ connections for
various render engines, would something like this be possible for
Soft?
Having Modo's preview window in Softimage would be pretty slick.
He's also got a version for Nuke and in one video compares MOMA to
SItoA, which is really interesting.
