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.

Like me, you've probably watched and bookmarked a ton of MODO tutorial videos you've intended to come back to later on. But how do you keep track of where exactly you saw stuff? Well, I'm hoping to be able to offer a solution - though I don't know whether it'll work until I try. The plan is to document those obscure references and where possible note timestamps within them so you can jump straight into the part you're interested in.
Most people think that Texture Locators are just those widgets that get in the way while you're trying to work on your scene, but James Darknell takes some time to explain how they work and offers a different way to quickly align them to your item's surface.

In repsonse to a question I received today, here's an old video that I found which explains how to use MODO's tool pipe to paint soft selections. Greg shows how to add a Weight Map to a face, and then paints areas such as the nose and eyebrows so they can be deformed. |

| Description | In this video, Brad brings in a mesh that already has a morph applied. Then he imports an audio clip, and then using the schematic viewport, wires the audio to the morph animation to produce a woofer speaker pulsing to the beat of the music. |
