Introducing The Foundry MODO 16.0

The Foundry MODO 16.0 is a cutting-edge 3D modeling and rendering software that comes packed with an array of animation, modeling, and texture rendering tools. It breaks through technical barriers to offer users highly retaining 3D rendering solutions, empowering designers and users to unleash their creativity.

New Features in The Foundry MODO 16.0

Animation and Rigging

• Efficient Wrapeffector: Offers more controlled deformation for packaging effects.
• Multiple Animation Exporter: Facilitates batch exporting of animations without the need for individual exports.

Modeling

• Enhanced Primitive Slice and Sliceffector Interaction: Improves the creation and iteration of boolean modeling from curves and contours.
• Conditional Loop Selection Improvements and Seam Marking: Refines the selection process for a more intuitive modeling experience.
• Variable Striped Width in Meshfusion: Ensures the generation of detailed hard-surface meshes with automatic adjustments.
• BridgetolMeshop: Adds impressive modeling features to the procedural modeling system in MODO.
• Edge Subdivide Meshop: Allows for precise placement of vertices along edges, integrating seamlessly with MODO's schematic.

Rendering and Shading

• Texture Caching for Visual Performance: Enhances visual display and simplifies the baking process of final textures.
• Improved Shader Tree Mixing Modes and Opacity: Offers visual graphs and automatic reorganization for more intuitive shading.
• Intel Denoiser Update: Speeds up rendering without compromising quality.
• Automatic Layer Setup: Saves time by automatically determining effects based on image names upon import.

UI and Workflow Enhancements

• Conditional Commands for Repetitive Tasks: Automates repetitive actions based on user-defined conditions.
• Accurate Measurement in Procedural Scenes: Introduces Ruler/GridMeshop for easy measurement within the MODO procedural modeling system.
• Improved Rhino 7 Import/Export Workflow: Supports new features in Rhino7, including creased edges, curves, point clouds, and subdivision surfaces.
• Streamlined Snapping Modes: Allows for easier enabling and disabling of snapping options.
