Features |
Modeling
- Modo offers a unique combination of best-in-class direct modeling
tools working hand-in-hand with a highly robust and flexible procedural
modeling system. Additionally, Modo features the award-winning
MeshFusion Boolean tools, integrated sculpting and retopology
functionality.
UV workflows
- Take the drudgery out of tedious UV creation tasks, with a highly
efficient built-in toolset that offers many automated options, supports
UDIM workflows, and-unlike some other 3D content creation
tools-integrates fully with modeling and selection workflows.
Sculpting
- Bring your artistic expression to 3D modeling, as you use Modo's
integrated brush-based sculpting tools to intuitively rough out volumes
and add multiple levels of fine detail with speed.
Shading
- Streamline your workflow with fast, flexible layer-based and
nodal shading systems for building sophisticated, convincing materials
with ease. Drag-and-drop presets let you quickly develop the look you
want, or simply select from a huge library of highly realistic
physically-based materials.
Rendering
- Enjoy photorealistic rendering at amazing speeds and limitless
resolutions-even network rendering is free. Modo's production-proven,
physically-based renderer offers a rare blend of speed and quality.
Baking
- Review textures as you bake and watch them refine progressively.
Modo also allows you to tweak settings and make surface changes without
waiting for a final render, and it accurately bakes to Unity or Unreal
standards with no extra tools required.
Rigging
- Featuring a non-destructive, non-linear toolset and
fully-integrated modular workflow, Modo's flexible node-based rigging
system lets you easily create, edit, manage and reuse complex character
rigs.
Animation
- Incorporating traditional animation techniques applied in
innovative ways, Modo's 3D animation framework is highly customizable
to meet the most demanding of production challenges.
Effects
- Modo's rule-based, directable particles work together with the
fully-integrated rigid and soft bodies, and procedural shattering, to
let you create compelling dynamic simulations in less time.
Hair and Fur
- Modo lets you create and manipulate realistic hair, fur, grass,
feathers and other fiber-based effects as actual geometry that can be
sculpted, shaded and rendered directly in your scene.
Camera and projection tools
- Modo's advanced tools for virtual camera creation and digital
matte painting are perfect for set extensions and product placement
shots, while the spherical camera rig lets you work with 360° video.
Presets
- Segment your work into more manageable parts, avoid repetitive
modeling tasks and create repeatable looks with saveable, shareable,
reusable assemblies and presets. Plus, convert a series of procedural
modeling operations into a new specialized tool to share with others.
Collaboration and customization
- With in-viewport support for Unity, Unreal-compatible PBR
materials and built-in export tools, Modo delivers a true WYSIWYG asset
creation experience for games and VR authoring. Plus, support for a
wide range industry-standard file formats, together with Python and
macro scripting, means it's easy to make Modo work in your pipeline.
