Great, thanks!

I applaud the development of Modo and the innovative work of Luxology on this software. I have one comment for this so far as it pertains to the 1 gig movie download. It is quite a large look for those that are curious about Modo but do not have it yet. It makes more sense to break this big movie up into much smaller segments about particular topics or features.

#6

I believe they are actually working on splitting up the presentation to make it easier for users to download. The original was initially put together for registered users only.

#7

It is the longest promo vid I have ever seen…Could be trimmed, but I thought it was well done and Brad.s clear delivery interspersed with the demo clips was not at all boring ,even at 1hr length…convinced me to add MODO to my toolchest. OY! :slight_smile:

Just hope they don’t recant on the summer release of 301. :wip:

#8

Could not agree more, it really was a great presentation. Only been using Modo a month or so but have already pre-ordered 301.

#9

Does Lux ever offer “Buy now, get next revision free” kinda deals?

I can’t see spending $700 now just to add another $400 in 2-4 months.

Not to mention it’s prolly better to let it get released, patched to the 302, 303 level and then buy in…

is that mean Modo is going to be a complete software ???

like 3ds max maya and lightwave ???

#11

yeah, that’s what it’s building into.
The “LW user Discount thread” has more info…If you can DL the 301 preview that has a lot of info in it too.

#12

ok thanks

another question

is the next version is going to have hair and cloth ???

is the 301 going to have simulation with reality like rigid body and soft body ???

i mean like the reactor in 3ds max

if it going to have that i think it will be the great application in the planet

blender is great but i like the addition in modo 301

download this you will see everything here :

it is big but nice

i will download it

i like the new Modo

thanks

I don’t think we will see hair and cloth or hard and soft body dynamics in the 30* cycle. I would imagine we will have to wait until at least 401 for that. Never know with Lux though.

#14

They did… I bought modo 103 back in um… Jan 2006 and got 201 free

#15

Because people will wait until 302-302 is realease and then bitch about 401 being just around the corner.

#16

I tried the demo, and absolutely love modo. I would buy it right now if I knew I could get a free upgrade to 301, but as is Im going to wait until 301 this summer to buy in. damn I want it now though.

#17

Saw your message. As of today 6/21/07 (1st day of Summer!), people who buy modo DO get the 301 upgrade at no charge when it is released. Boxed or download version - u cannot use discounts etc. Only for regluar version - not educational.

Enjoy.

Did I miss something? This new version intrigues me as well and looking into incorporating it into our school 3d program, but COMPLETE? I downloaded the demo video and didn’t see anything in the way of rigging, etc. So, complete, not even close. Modo 3.01 will rival the other apps. (btw, forgot to mention Cinema 4D) in modeling, but no character rigging features…

I am really excited about the new sculpting tools in Modo. Looks nice!
