Thanks for the tip. Sounds very attractive as an additional tool. Do you have any experience with Modo?

---

Some time ago tried the demo, but not much
That Software was me to expensive for intensive exploring
The SE Version was too limited, but now it sounds more attractive.

Hello

http://www.fxguide.com/quicktakes/mari-and-modo-for-everyone/

And : Save up to 40% for 48 hours , December 17 - 19

http://www.thefoundry.co.uk/about-us/news-awards/modo-mari-48-hr-sale/

A great sofware for this price . I think to swtich to modo/lighwave/houdini actually is the best thing .

CGTRADER

the offers and limitations look very confusing.

for example on steam - if you open the product info ...they have mari at 12.49 and modo at 14.99 to total to 284.99

obviously a typo.....but also a good example of how 'inefficient' I see that company lol...

I remember one time I would have run to this deal - now....i'm not sure the whole company lacks a transparency, their community isn't lively fun ....and their limitations look more like a crippling of the software. Even their 40% sale, doesn't really look clear.

I'm afraid of investing in yet another software that sits quietly on my drive because it lacks good tutorials and clarity. As far as I'm concerned, modo is occult ware lol - i'll pass.

@PSD

Dude I can live with all those restrictions.

100k polys jeeeesus that a LOT and if you think its not it will teach you to work within that range.

I can convert any image file outside of Modo to anything I want ...

Forget the renderer I have toooo many options already.

£170 for the BEST modelling tools on the market (until Zbrush releases its new upgrade)

.....

If it  wasn't Xmas I would be all over this..

Ho and it riggs

Thank you VIDI

fyi, they are holding a contest, with a chance to win a copy of modo - 1 caveat ...contest ends the 18th lol

I wonder if I took a picture of my neighbor and told em i made it in modo...would it fly ?

I can see it now "Wow, looks almost real...you could have done better on the lighting though, but not bad for a total noob!"

yep that would work...
I use Modo801 and you get reallife superfast renders!
btw Once twice a year Luxology has a 50%-60% discount for those who are interrested in the full version so i should wait. I used maya and 3DSmax in the past but (my opinion) Modo is a way beter (modern) modeling tool with a far superior workflow and render. and works great with 3dxchange/iclone. The Modo Indie version is just 5-10% off the full version so beware check the future diff before buyng

Happy Holiday to ya all
