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.

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.

mPath, Modo’s physically-based hybrid renderer combined with iterative denoising technology, lets you visualize your designs intuitively and with less waiting.

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.

Modo has a powerful Order of Operations deformation system that when combined with Rig Clay, enables anyone to intuitively modify geometry like a pro. Now rigging in Modo empowers both the most technical rigger and 3D beginners alike.

"I use MODO to make a living."

5/5

What do you like best about Modo?

The capabilities and the very helpful community of users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Modo?

It is overly complex. The constantly change menus are difficult to navigate at times Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Modo:

Start slow, learn the lingo. For me at least, I had to learn what things were called before I could ask a question that helped me. The community of users has some serious technical and artistic talent and are very helpful. This goes a long way to offsetting the complexity of MODO at the outset.

What problems is Modo solving and how is that benefiting you?

I do explainer animations for technology companies. MODO provides ways to demonstrate complex processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
