Luxology Modo 4o1

Modo 4o1

« Modo is the unique, artist-friendly 3D software that combines modeling, painting, animation and rendering in a fused workflow for designers and artists working in the areas of industrial design, architectural visualization, package design, game development, film and broadcast, education and scientific studies. »

The new version of modo is partially revealed… new concept of communication? Alpha? Beta?  Be careful, Quicktime player is required to watch videos. It’s interesting to know that modo was created by the same core group of software engineers who formerly created Lightwave 3D

Nevertheless it sounds great! But what is behind Mono?

Nexus®, PhotoView 360

Nexus® technology is the core rendering technology behind mono and PhotoView 360. PhotoView 360 is the new design visualization application that is bundled with Solidworks 2009 Premium and Professional 2009 editions and which was designed to deliver new levels of interactivity, a library of realistic surface appearances and a collection of studio-quality lighting environments.

Nexus includes a variety of modeling, sculpting, rendering, painting and animation capabilities, is multi-core aware and fully scriptable using Perl, Python or Lua.

And after the SketchUp Importer and the Rhinoceros Translator, Luxology announces a COLLADA plug-in for modo. Learn more details with the GameDev article.
