Modo 801 Reveal

2014-04-25 Thread Angus Davidson
Firstly it was definitely worth waking up at 3:45am to see. Brad doing a 
captain america live action improv while waiting for the screen to be sorted 
out was great.

For me the two things of interest are time spacing bar. That is such an amazing 
teaching tool right there.

One of my bugbears in Modo 701 is the shader system. I don’t like it. 5 Minutes 
of playing with the new Node based shader tree in 801 and I am in heaven ;)

Hey Manuel! The nodal shading in Modo works great, but it's not a full
replacement of the Shader Tree. They work great together though. I guess
the best parallel to this I've seen was how Combustion works... you can do
all your effects work in the schematic, and then just order layers in their
Layer Stack.

Hope this helps!

Hey Sergio,
Glad to see you around! thanks for the help. I actually am ultra new to modo, 
although I remember hearing great stuff from you in the rigging area. I am glad 
its actually shaping itself as a full featured packagein all cg areas. My needs 
are mostly lookdev  lighting, so from what I see looks great! I ve been 
hearing awesome stuff about its renderer but my work experience so far is been 
related withmental ray and arnold. So I am not sure how modo render compares in 
render quality/features with arnold for example... I'll dig in a bit to see for 
myself I guess...
