In this new series, we'll cover the groundwork of becoming a MODO Speed Demon through the process of modeling an old and somewhat-forgotten classic from scratch: the Fiat S76 automobile (AKA "The Beast of Turin"). In total, this zero-to-hero MODO modeling series packs a solid punch with 40 videos featuring over 7 hours of material. That's right - SEVEN hours!
Read MoreIn this series we’ll go for a spin and break down the principles of retopology for industrial designers who want to gain a better understanding of working with 3D scans. Using a 3D scan of a bicycle helmet, you’ll learn how to clean up the geometry into a real, workable model in MODO with the option of exporting to SolidWorks and elevating your manufacturable designs to the next level.
Read MoreMODO is one of the most extensible tools around, and you don't have to be a coding aficionado to automate frequent tasks. Keep in mind that Macros are extremely simple, which means that they can’t have fancy logic and they can’t include interactive elements like paint selection, tool handles, etc.
Read MoreWelcome to brand spankin’ new MODO lighting series! This series centers around product photography. For this lighting series in particular, we’ll be going over the creation of assets, how to setup your scenes, and how to squeeze the most out of modo’s powerful rendering capabilities with strategic workflows.
Read MoreWood is one of those tricky materials to get right in modo. In this mini-series, we'll go over some fundamentals for getting up and running with wood in modo.
Read MoreIn this series we'll be looking at modo for modeling and rendering a simple architectural interior, complete with dimensional accuracy.
Read MoreWhen using modo as a design modeling tool, it's often important to know if your model is within draft tolerance, or to find inconspicuous undercuts that can ruin your mold-making mojo. Let's look at a way of creating a draft analysis in modo.
Read MoreUnderstanding mesh item centers in modo is critical to efficient file management, especially when dealing with complex scenes. Here we'll look at strategies for working with imported CAD data.
Read MoreThere are effectively three ways of lighting in modo. We have environment maps, luminous polygons, and light items. We’ll take a look at what each of these mean and how even a subtle difference in the light type can drastically change the most subtle of light details.
Read MoreWelcome to "MODO for Industrial Design 2011" training series. During the next fifteen weeks we'll be taking a closer look at MODO as a design(er) tool. We'll start from the beginning, explaining MODO's UI and familiarize ourselves with most common tools. Each week we'll dig deeper and build upon previously gained knowledge.
Read MoreIn this quick beginner series, we'll walk through the process of modeling and rendering a virtual photograph, and composite it with a backplate photo.
