So, you're an avid part-time MODO user, but you'd still like to be able to keep up-to-date with all the neat tricks and cool ways you can optimize your MODO workflow.
Being a hobbyist sometimes it can be weeks or months before I manage to find some spare time to mess around with MODO, by which time, I've almost forgotten everything. :-/
This site is just as much for me as it is for you. It's a place where all can keep all the tips and tricks I come across, and it's fully indexed, so you should be able to find whatever you're looking for very easily :)
I'm no MODO expert - far from it, but every other month I'd like to be able to present you with a new article that'll become a new string to add to your modo bow.
If you're a longterm 3D artist or professional, then I can't guarantee there'll be much here you don't already know. You can always have a poke around though., or if you are looking for something specific, use the Search menu up the top (and the links with topics, categories and tags underneath) to find exactly what you're after. If you don't have any luck, let me know if there is anything in particular that you're looking for.

| Description | When setting up a scene you may need to move the camera and lights around quite a bit until you get it just right, but you don't want to have to continually re-focus them. So by creating a locator that is parented to the subject object, you can keep manually adjusting the camera and it will always stay in focus. | ||

| Description | On the odd occasion I have experienced modo deciding all of a sudden to want to select-through my mesh when I don't want it to. So how do I fix it? |

| Description | Okay, so this is not actually MODO-specific, but the other day I rendered out a sequence of images in MODO. .You're right, I could have rendered them out as a movie. But if for some reason you have to shut down your machine, or it crashes - you lose EVERYTHING! - so individual images, though slower, is often a more reliable way.. Later I needed to quickly render them out as a .mov file. Of course I could have used After Effects, but I found it much quicker to do it in Photoshop.[/dcs_p] |

| Description | I was just reminded of something that I discovered last year whilst rendering out my final animation assignment. I had around 1500 frames to render out, and I was fortunate to have two machines to work on. It was late, and I wanted to set them up and go home. But if I started one machine at frame #1, how could I guess whereabouts to start the second machine from to ensure all frames were covered? Simple. Start from the last frame and render out the image sequence in reverse order |
