Hi Simon,
Thanks for your input, that was really helpful to have a better idea about what
to expect in regards to modo renderer.
I am learning the basics of the program, so there's still a lot of ground to
cover for me, but after all what I see around
happening... I think it'll be worth to learn it in depth... :)

I've used both in production and Arnold's ceiling is exponentially higher than
Modos. I find a lot of people say all renderers are similar before ever really
testing them in a heavy production.
I love Modo but it is not capable of lifting anything close to what Arnold can.
Arnold is also far more stable, is truly platform agnostic and can be easily
integrated into any pipeline. I'd love to see SA write an exporter for Modo,
being able to do lookdev and archiving within it would be fantastic.
Just my 2 cents.

Hey Greg,
Honestly, from my (limited) experience with modo, I have not seen a major
drawback to the renderer. The AOV's are extensive and well thought out,
it has a pass system that is right up there with Soft, better in some ways,
almost as good in others.
It is VERY fast, and has great quality.
I think (just my opinion) that the reason others want Arnold and Redshift in
modo is because more renderers means more options, not because
the modo renderer is lacking in any way. Don't think mental ray when you think
of the default renderer in modo, even though that is what we are used to, and
why many of us were always looking for another renderer in Soft.
Anyway, that is my unscientific hypothesis!

I hear a lot of requests for 3rd party rendering in modo, what are the
limitations of modo's render engine that have people looking for other render
engines? Does it not scale well? I would love to know its drawbacks.
I have seen nothing but impressive images and demos from modo, but the only
thing keeping me from digging into it was the lack of nodes.
I love me some Arnold, but I also like the the idea of filling up our farm with
modo licenses for a fraction of the cost.

Yes you can. Basically anyone comming from the 2d animation world would be glad
with this. I keep saying: Southpark with revamp worflow for 3D.

But is it a completely parallel system to curves ? or can you tweak curves
later ? not sure how this would work with gimble otherwise, unless you keyframe
it into the ground.

The difference imho is equivalent to modelling pulling vertices to zbrush
sculpting. It is the state of mind in which you start thinking about poses,
blocking, refinement of animation as a sequence of clear steps rather than a
soup of keyframes.
In the sense that an animator does not need to open an curve and worry about
slopes but only timing and pose, this is imho a completely revamp of how things
should be done and I would bet money if you put a true animator (2d trained
with years of experience) the result till blow you mind.
My God I have been waiting for this… Finally!It is clear the combination for me
is modo+houdini…

Hmmm, maybe I am missing something here, but what is the difference
to selecting all your controls and using the dopesheet or meta curve
region/ animation editor to change the timing and spacing of your
animation?

I would say this is a game changer, just give it to a _real_
character animator (traditionally trained) and I would bet you the
output will be amazing.

Hi, I
recorded some of the webinar launch. Around minute 7
you´ll see the new animation worflow in Modo 801.
IMHO, this is what I´ve always wanted as
2D/3D animator. Anyone thinking "south park 2D" and
regular 3D animation
with this workflow?
Modo801 - New

ps: video is just uploading. Should be up
around 15 more mins.
