Advance Advanced Ergonomics

modo is far more than a collection of tools and features–it is an artist-friendly environment that delivers a superior creative experience. A preview renderer updates in real-time as you make changes to your scene and modo’s selection tools have to be seen to be believed. We care about this stuff.

What They Say


Pound for pound, you get more polyps rendered in modo without the headaches. Life is too short to be messing with settings to get your machines rendering your shots. - Simon Hodgkiss, Director and Producer of "The Adventures of Raz & Benny" by SPHdigital Ltd. 

The interface is easy on the eyes, chock full of contextual menus, and displays some really common-sense features that leave me crying for similar features in the other packages I work with. - .modo 401 Review by Mark Bremmer, MicroFilmmaker Magazine, September 2009 issue.

If you need to create realistic objects quickly and have them rendered in photorealistic style, without taking aspirin or late nights, get modo. If you model lots of content for your productions, but battle with the modelers in other applications, get modo." 9.9 out of 10 rating - .Mark Bremmer, MicroFilmmaker Magazine, Feb 2008 issue.

Message to Luxology's Andy Brown on the Luxology Forum: "Ok Andy. We need to talk. You can't make anymore tutorials like this. Its taking over my life, its my new addiction. :) Too much fun is being had. :)"- Patrick Allen
