Printing from Modo view directly, actual scale modeling

#1

I’m interested in getting Modo beside of Lightwave as a design tool. Still, without demo. it is only way I can know more is asking here.

  1. Can I print directly from Modo? I mean setting up print/plot in scale and print it out without sending to Lightwave for rendering. I mostly work on the deigning of kiosk/exhibition and architecture. So, I sometimes want to only print out the see the massing design.

  2. Does Modo use actual scale to model as in Lightwave?

  3. When modeling in Modo, does we need to start ffro primitive only (cube, sphere like in Maya or XSI) or I can draw the box, cylinder as in Lightwave or Max? I like the way Lightwave and Max and FormZ work.

Thanks,

  1. Nope - no EPS export either so you’d have to go via LightWave

  2. Yep - metric, SI and (shudder) “English” if you so choose…

  3. You can start off with points and build polygons or curves if that’s how you like to work - any and all of the techniques you may have used in LightWave are equally applicable in modo - it doesn’t constrain you to any particular way of working - quite the opposite :slight_smile:

Thanks!

I am really going with Modo, but it will take a while before I have money.
Actually I plan to get it right away, but someone steal my Modo, my cradit was compomised $300 by somebody buying things in Tokyo on New Year, while I went to the hospital in Colorado that day.
Hope to get it back soon and get Modo soon too.
