"Great for 3D modeling "

4/5

What do you like best about Modo?

A lot of great tools for modeling, both direct modeling and procedural modeling. Every tool can be combined with others in a tool pipe, in this way you can create your own custom tools and presets. The main features are the variety of selections tools, great hotkeys customization, a quick definition of action centers, falloff and placement of the workplane. Plus many other features like mesh operations, schematic nodes, meshfusion, etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Modo?

Performance with high poly counts: the viewport can slow down when there are a lot of items in the scene. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Modo solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can model for product design and rendering with ease. It's great hard surface and soft surfaces products, like upholstered furniture etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The perfect 3D software"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Modo?

Nice workflow, all integrated in 1 software, sculpt and paint 3d too. Using mesh fusion in modelling, faster render and much more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Modo?

Actually animation section can be more powerfull same tools like Maya 3D, but complete works. Then your can start a project from zero to animated finished without problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Modo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using for replace Lightwave 3D, the modelling 3D and tools are more better and powerfull, this improve our speed in 3D modelling, texturing and make 3D object for realtime use. More faster then more works finished! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very intuitive modeling package! "

3.5/5

What do you like best about Modo?

Modo hand's down is one of the best modeling packages I've used in my years of 3D modeling/creation. When it comes to organic/hard-surface modeling/retopology, it has some of the best tools available of any AIO 3D software. One of the better perks I enjoy about Modo is how many of the most common tools are naturally assigned to hotkeys that just make sense. This helps take a lot of the "thinking" out of what you're doing and just allows you to work. The assigned keys for navigation make it tablet-friendly as well. Modo is also highly customizable, really allowing you to hone it in to your personal way of working. I've never been a huge fan of setting up UVs, but Modo has made this process painless to the point of therapeutic. And last but definitely not least, Modo has one of the best native renderers I've worked with as well, easily holding its own with the likes of rendering engines such as Arnold or Vray. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Modo?

After the modeling/UVing phase, Modo somewhat falls apart for me just a little bit. Most 3D software these days have a node-based approach to texturing that makes the process easier. Modo can be a little clunky when it comes to setting up textures, and as a result, there are other packages I'd still prefer to work in after the modeling phase.

Modo's animation toolsets has been growing over the years, but compared to an industry-standard software like Maya, Modo's animation toolsets still don't really hold a candle to the likes of Maya, unfortunately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Modo:

Modo may be pretty hefty price-wise when it comes to utilizing it for solely its strong-points. For some it may be worth looking at alternative solutions, but I'd definitely give Modo's free trial a go first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Modo solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've been utilizing Modo in my pipeline for some client projects as well as personal projects, delving into tasks such as character creation/retopology as well as environment/prop creation. It's made the creation process much easier to maintain Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent tools for modeling and rendering"

5/5

What do you like best about Modo?

The modeling tools are well thought out and implemented. The tool system is based on a a user-customizeable platform that allows for a lot of artist-end modification without a lot of work. The rendering system is also very good. With minimal effort will produce nice quality results and with a little work it can produce some of the best 3D renderings of any package currently available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Modo?

Working with very large scenes can often be a bit difficult and I would like to see some future development in that area. Also, the dynamics and simulation options (especially fluids and liquid simulation) could be improved upon in order to really round out the package as a full featured all-in-one toolset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Modo:

Download the free trial and watch a few training videos. It is easy to pick up (as far as 3D software goes) the modeling tools are fantastic and the renderer produces great results right off the bat! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Modo solving and how is that benefiting you?

The modeling tools are fast, intuitive and adaptable. The flexible and powerful rendering engine makes it excellent for previsualization, ideation and photo-real rendering. I have used modo for a variety of projects including producta and architectural visualization, visual effects, and game design and for all all of the use ncases in modeling, texture and material design, lighting, and rendering it has been great.
