Jaw dropping. Now it looks like they nailed. Did everyone see the mesh
retarget? and the FK/IK friendly switching?

Opinions?

Cheers.

No, ACS has been out for a while now. ACS v2 has just been released, for 
801 and 901.

I am very excited following Modo development, lately their drive for animation 
and rigging has been exceptional and if you are impressed by this when you look 
at the truly well done animation tools they published on 801 you should be very 
excited.

look forward to work with it on a real animation project

The issue for me is the performance of the app when playing back 
deformations on (even moderately) complex characters, or painting 
weights. They added an optional OpenSubDiv package(kinda like a 
property) that can be added to speed things up a little, but at best 
it's like a topical ointment rather than a real remedy. They need to try 
and hit at least 24fps during manipulation and playback on moderate 
characters. Thankfully, this is still very much a known issue at The 
Foundry.


But Jordi's right the rigging options themselves are really quite 
powerful. They've got something that's quite unique, yet potent, 
compared to other commercial tools. It's just hampered by the fact that 
it's simply too easy to create a character that bogs the system down.


And hey, now with Eric working on FE integration...

I also loved these tools!
Which studios are using modo for character animation?

A obvious downside is that it is biped focused and not so generic, but it
really got me hopeful for modo.

Also keep in mind it is not part of modo but kit to buy.. like bunch of
other kits there.
Smells like max + plugins? :)

Modo is nice, if you like bugs and crashes

801 was less then stable, but with 901 I feel like a beta tester.  It's
been like this for so many releases, I've kind of given up on Modo.

Re: OT: I know a lot has been said about MODO but this...!?!

[Mario Reitbauer]

Well ACS is only partly useable.

It is like the Max Biped system.
As soon as you want to do something more special you might run into
limitations.

I would love to see an application actually making a real good modular
based guide system like gear (but even more advanced).
