  • G2 reviewers report that Modo excels in user experience, with many praising its intuitive interface and ease of use. Users appreciate how simple it is to achieve great renders without extensive setup, stating, "all I did was import my object and click render." This highlights Modo's strength in streamlining the rendering process.
  • According to verified reviews, V-Ray stands out for its exceptional realism and reliability, particularly in architectural and interior design visualization. Users have noted that it remains their primary rendering engine due to its "speed, reliability, and robust ecosystem," making it a preferred choice for professionals seeking consistent results.
  • Reviewers mention that Modo allows for a high degree of customization in workflows, which is particularly appealing for users who enjoy defining their own tools and processes. One user highlighted the "beauty of building your own workflow inside the app," showcasing Modo's flexibility for creative professionals.
  • Users say that V-Ray's recent updates have significantly improved its usability, particularly with real-time rendering capabilities. The introduction of Vision options allows users to see changes in lighting and materials instantly, which enhances the overall design process and efficiency.
  • G2 reviewers report that while Modo has a strong community and support system, V-Ray's support quality is also commendable, with users appreciating its reliability. However, Modo users have noted that the software's coherent functionality makes problem-solving easier, which can be a significant advantage for those new to 3D rendering.
