Interesting reply Raph. Thanks! I have yet to work with C4D so I can’t speak for myself. Definitely have to check it out then. Especially now that it has a Montreal tentacle. ;) MAC

Modo remains, at least as of 801, a glorified modelling and rendering package with a pityful API. The FX and animation capabilities are between primitive things in support of the rest and none still. In terms of what Software is worth and how it should be priced it's not bad, but comparatively speaking it's a good deal pricier than it's feature set warrants. If 901 brings significant changes and additions to the areas it lacks in right now, brings the API up to scratch (doubt it), and makes the app in general A LOT faster, or at least strengthens the painting and sculpting tools to the point of making either or both Mari or ZBrush less necessary, then it might be a good price point in comparative terms.

I just checked Cinema 4D Studio(which is the one with everything in it) and it’s 3 695$. Quite a difference from 1 799$ for Modo 901 Also, The Foundry is clever… they’re stretching their teasers and hyping the product… I wouldn’t be surprised either if they’d announce something bigger next time.

But in case I don't even want mesh fusion I have to pay it now ;) Modo is still quite avordable so this isn't meant to be any complain. Just curious if there's more coming for the price increase. 2015-04-08 10:37 GMT+02:00 Oscar Juarez <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>: I guess the price increase for new seats is because now includes mesh fusion, which before was $350 as far as I remember.
