The more time I spend with modo, the more I love it. I was a LW user years (10+) ago, so it’s a kinda refreshing memories.
The major issue to me now is the lack of direct control over hard-edge and soft-edge.

I am seriously evaluating it, but haven't had much time recently. I did find one thing that was driving me crazy. That is how Modo's camera navigation works in the viewport (the trackball effect). If you click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the viewport, you will get properties, where under Mouse Control: Trackball Rotation, switch the option to No. Unfortunately it only works on a per viewport basis, not universally for all viewports. I haven't found the universal control yet to switch that off. On 3/12/2014 5:45 PM, David Rivera wrote: Thank you for adding your emails to this thread. I´m also looking forward for the modo webinar. In the mean time I'm setting up a page on my website dedicated to the subject of transitioning to Modo: http://3dcinetv.com/softimage-to-modo/ I know we are still a SI user mailing list. I don't pretend to override anything, but for anyone evaluating modo, and getting all there's out there on the net about it, will come handy to have points of reference summarized from a former Softimage user, on how to "Work", "Workaround" and solve issues on MODO a la Softimage (at least while the learning curve increases). The general idea would be to have a summarized content on how Softimage and Modo work-alike and what new concepts should be introduced in Modo mentality for the former SI user. Postings will be each friday.

In rigging, you'll find that deformers are stacked using Order of Operations, similarly to the operator stack in Softimage, on a per-deformer basis. But that's not the same thing as a construction history, or procedural modeling, which every agrees would be awesome to have. -Tim On 3/10/2014 3:05 AM, Szabolcs Matefy wrote: I am evaluating modo now as an alternative, and it looks really promising, however, I miss the history.

TD´s perspective, and other users who have dedicated their lives (literally) to build a rock-solid pipeline for studios all around the world using softimage, have really made me think a lot into consideration. So, to cut a long story short, I´d like to know if there´s a thread in the list that´s already being aligned into the Softimage/MODO transition? If not, I´d like to start it off with this post.
