"Man this new Tomodachi Life Trailer looks amazing ! " (seriously feels like an ad for the N3DS )
I agree Modo does have some very powerful and innovative animation paradigms, however it is missing a cloth workflow, without which it is crippled as a character solution. Tomod ...Cinema 4D seems to be playing an awful lot of catchup, when Luxologic bring out a feature it always seems to have that little bit more then previous competition eg dynamic parenting, or they come at it from a fresh perspective e.g character posing time charts. This looks like an awful lot of fluff. but then again maybe everything is already there :P On 5 August 2014 14:54, Tim Crowson <tim.crow...@magneticdreams.com> wrote: > The thing that I miss from Softimage in Modo, where passes are concerned, > is the ability to create pass-specific partitions and overrides that don't > exist anywhere else.
