Cool video. Thanks for sharing Mauricio. Modo looks like it has some great tools based on everything I've seen in marketing, in this video and the previous one linked to by Pedro.
As for C4D viewport performance, I find it faster than Houdini for most things, but slower than Soft. I haven't tested rigged characters performance yet, but if I find anything I will report back. I will say that I have been using only C4D for months now, and I really haven't hit any walls in terms of viewport performance that make it unusable (or unstable). Obviously that is specific to my experiences, possibly my hardware setup and certainly the requirements of the projects I am working on, so your mileage may vary.
