Sketchup to modo

kwistenbiebel · 13 Apr 2009, 06:12

Like you, though I am not a pro, I am starting to feel I need to expand my horizon, as it doesn't look like the Googleites will be expanding theirs. SU is at a junction right now, it seems. Either it gets an overhaul, or it dies. The Pro version, that is.

They missed quite some junctions already.
There's so much more going on besides SU now, that the old horse starts to look err... like an old horse.

Modo 401 looks top

Hy guis, i'm using moto with sketchup too, i've done some reviews, and a tutorial how to import the sketchup model in modo. But it's in my native language. I don't know if it will help, i just whant to say that we in Brazil are thinking about this interaction.

this is my youtube videos.

in the glass rendering thread there was some discussion of modo and rendering...

for anyone interested in modo, the book by dan ablan is great. its designed for a complete modo newbie and is very basic/straightforward. I've also used the watch tutorial by andy brown and some of the coursework from 3d Garage (more Dan Ablan) and have found them very good. I'd start with Dan's stuff if you're really green (like me) with more coplex 3d apps. they are friendly and clear. if you've already got a decent handle on subdivision surface modelling, start with Andy Browns stuff. He assumes you already have basic concepts established.

Digital Tutors has good modo stuff as well. Better than Ablan's, in my opinion.

stinkie,

i was checking out the digital tutors stuff. do you recommend any?

Stinkie · 21 Apr 2009, 05:27

I don't own 'em all, so I can't really compare, but the ones I do have, "Introduction to Modo" and "Introduction to Modelling in Modo" I really enjoyed. The first one really does a good job of introducing people to modo. Somehow I have the feeling they've done their homework better than Ablan.

Oh: Andy Brown's furniture series is very enjoyable stuff for noobs as well. Watching right now. Fun!

I'll second stinkie's recommendation. downloaded 'intro to modeling in modo' and started watching. very thorough...much more so that the stuff from Ablan.
