San Diego modo User Group - Info

This professional integrated toolset features state-of-the-art and revolutionary technologies in a radically customizable user interface that makes 3D content creation faster, more elegant and more fun than any comparable product.

In addition, modo is designed to "play well with others" so you can easily use modo in workflows with other 3D systems like Maya, LightWave, Cinema4D, ZBrush, Vue, SketchUp, Carrara and Hexagon, and 2D systems like PhotoShop and Illustrator. Using an animation package, 3D action content created in modo can also be used in video editing programs like iMovie, Final Cut Pro Studio, Shake and After Effects.

The modo user license allows you to install on multiple Macs and PCs to maximize your workflow flexibility and compatibility with other software. The san diego modo user group also discusses using modo with other software packages.

Some application for 3D graphics created using modo and other tools:

  • Architectural Visualization
  • Product Design
  • Automotive Design
  • Fine Art Creation
  • Character Animation
  • Print/Web Advertising/Illustration
  • Film/Video/Television/Web Animation
  • Video Game Development

Luxology's modo won the Apple Design Award for Best OS X Graphics at WWDC 2006. It takes full advantage of the latest Apple hardware and software technologies (including Universal Binary for PPC and Intel processors, multiple processors and Advanced OpenGL on the latest video cards).

Whether you are a 3D computer graphics professional, high-end hobbyist, beginner, or just curious, all are welcome at the san diego modo user group. Come see how much fun it can be and how bright your Apple Macintosh can shine using modo!
