Yes- make sure to check out the vids here as even some of the old ones have good tips. Kind of like the Vast training was for XSI (came in shoe box on disks):
http://community.thefoundry.co.uk/tv/training/ There is a searchable database version done by a user. Not sure how up to date it is but might help (along with his thread). http://eglomot.marc-albrecht.de/ http://community.thefoundry.co.uk/discussion/topic.aspx?f=36&t=80320 I recommend Richard Yot's first video as well. Some of the lighting tips are probably known to many, but he has several videos that go into some depth about sampling etc. in Modo fairly well: http://community.thefoundry.co.uk/store/rendering/interiors/ The decoupled shading rate in MODO is actually a powerful feature in rendering if you know how to use it. Too many people turn first to AA and miss the point.
