The license is all handled through a login so licenses don't need to be manually transferred. The subscription licenses include the added benefit of being able to work from any machine. This means that users will now get all the latest versions as soon as they are released. To provide customers with a more affordable way of getting started with Modo they have introduced a monthly and annual subscription payment options. As this is a fairly big change for Foundry, let's take a closer look at what they have actually introduced.

I'm sure they have reasons for it but it has definitely detracted from the actual software itself. Their desire is to provide customers with greater choice and convenience, but I wonder if attaching this to a series release is the best idea. © Foundry New subscription-based modelįrom my point of view, it seems like this release has been heavily overshadowed by how much of a focus they have put upon their new subscription-based pricing model. Modo is not just a piece of modelling software, it can also be used to create beautiful visualisations.
Obviously, this won't happen across companies as much as I would like but at least it's good to see it happening with a company like Foundry.
I am all for making it as simple as possible for users to move between software as easily as possible. One thing that is nice to see is the extended interoperability of Modo with other applications in its ecosystem. I wonder whether customers will be a little disappointed by the lack of something that makes this release stand out. As I've already said, these are all improvements and adjustments rather than any major feature releases. Other improvements in performance and productivity include animation, deformation and rigging. The workflow for direct and procedural modeling has been improved alongside advanced Booleans and UV editing with MeshFusion. In terms of adjustments to the actual software it appears that the first installment offers enhanced workflows and accelerated performance.
With that in mind, let's take a look at what the launch of the Modo 11 Series means for this first update. This image shows the level of modeling capabilities contained within the Modo product. Choosing to release a series of smaller updates may make it more difficult for users to justify making the upgrade. I'm not sure what I feel about that because I absolutely love getting a major update! These types of updates usually have exciting and revolutionary new features that set the software apart.
#MODO UPDATE#
So rather than releasing a major update they are releasing the first of a series of three updates such that when they get to the end of the series you will have all the updates together. It appears that Foundry is going in a different direction. Every software developer schedules major updates to be interspersed with minor updates.
#MODO MAC OS X#
