NICE! I might buy Modo today just because of that video. I'm in the process of working on a bunch of furniture models & I'm dealing with seams, piping, etc.. I've been working in 3D Coat because it's great for organic shapes, but I wasn't really happy with the seams & piping (3D Coat's spline tools are clunky IMHO).
