Modo Review

Modo is a 3D CAD software developed to create content and ideas using various integrated texturing, modeling, rendering, and 3D creation tools. Artists can add multiple layers of detail, streamline workflows, and use a drag-and-drop interface to apply presets to materials or projects. Modo enables businesses to configure surface changes in textures, create simulations, and use animation techniques or frameworks to manage production processes. Educational institutions can modify fur, hair, feathers, grass, and other realistic fiber-based effects by sculpting, rendering, and shading them as geometric figures.
The software also supports multiple file formats such as OpenEXR, Alembic, and OpenVDB, and helps organizations manage game creation and VR creation processes. Its node-based rigging system also allows creative professionals to create, manage, reuse, and modify character designs.
