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 MoreGood 3D design technique is more than knowing which buttons to click in your favorite CAD system. In this section we look deeper into the theory underpinning great design.
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 MoreThis series was designed specifically for a major corporate design team in order to get existing professional CAD users up and running with SolidWorks as quickly as possible.
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.
