Modo 10.2 ships: save up to 40%

The Foundry has launched MODO 10.2, offering updates for procedural modeling, retopology, rendering and more. According to The Foundry press release, MeshFusion has been completely revamped in 10.2, making it even easier to cut, combine and intersect geometry. Guided by a new schematic-free workflow, MODO’s advanced Boolean toolset will now automatically launch and reorder a model’s underlying tree structure whenever an edit is made.

To celebrate the launch, the following discounts are available through October 20, 2016 at 7:00 a.m. PDT:

  • 40% off new seats of MODO
  • 25% off the MODO Extended Bundle
  • 20% off upgrades to MODO 10 Series

Additional Features in MODO 10.2 Include:

Automatic retopology – Creating quad meshes at any density is now automatic, removing the need for manual cleaning. The meshes will not only follow the curvature of an input surface, but can be controlled by weight maps and sketched guide curves, increasing artistic input whenever they want to creatively refine assets.

Procedural modeling enhancements – Users now have the ability to package, share and reuse assembly aliases, turning what can often be a complex set of mesh operations into a single item that users can share as presets. Slicing, drilling, cloning and duplicating tools have also been added/updated, bringing more production standards into the procedural modeling workflow.

Deformer caching – Deformations and mesh operations can now be cached and held in memory, so artists working on complex animations can scrub the timeline significantly faster.

Rendering enhancements – The Preview Renderer and Advanced Viewport have received significant performance improvements; while the new ability to use arbitrary meshes as light sources offers an exciting new lighting workflow that can easily represent difficult shapes such as filament bulbs.

MODO 10.2 is the final release in the MODO 10 Series, The Foundry’s first multi-part offering that accelerated the speed at which users receive major updates. Geared for professionals and beginners alike, the MODO 10 series has provided new features and improvements for the games, VR and product design markets since its launch in March, including the popular procedural modeling toolset.
