There is FAR MORE rigging-related training coming down the road this year for Modo riggers. I know of two training series coming along, and as a 'tester' on one of them, can tell you it's pretty awesome stuff.

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.

The rigger is/was a Maya user. His opinions about Modo.

"i originally started in maya, didnt did allot of rigging, mostly animation and modelling every programs has some flaws, even how i`d love maya and the rigging and scripting tools, if you get the "modo way" of rigging it is superfast and easy to handle.
i really like modo en enjoy rigging to the fullest .

animation is a different story.
i do find the deformation response very slowly in modo, in some heavy rigs i needed to put some low poly meshes in just to get a nice response, otherwise animation would be very difficult. i didnt played allot in 801 yet, but i`ve saw some neat new tools in there !
i must say modo keeps me happy :D"

So I guess the major point is still viewport performace, something that C4D also has in common from what I read about it.

I don't know yet what to think of Modo... But these look interesting.
