"301 has been a great use to our company in the arch viz department. The renderer has been tweaked alot since the earlier versions, making it very easy to get clean and very detailed renders in a short time for all of our interior shots!"

modo advantages

By Igor Hendrih

Fast, Physically Accurate Lighting
modo has one of the fastest global illumination renderers anywhere. It even works in the preview renderer as you model or arrange your design. That means you have access to natural lighting. modo supports IES lighting for super accurate, real-world lighting. Use it to see how that athletic field will be lit at night or invoke Physical Sky to bathe your designs in accurate and natural looking sunlight.

Dial-in the Level of Realism You Need
With modo, you can control how much detail you present at different stages of a project and for different uses of your design data. Whether it is a simple cardboard concept, a before and after study or an inspiring rendition, modo will always deliver quality. Even the simplest designs look fantastic with subtle surface texture and natural lighting.

Walk-Throughs
If you can move a camera in modo, you can make a walk-through animation. Just change your view and make a keyframe — modo does all the rest. And rest assured, modo renders rock solid animations with natural lighting and blurry reflections, and with no flickering or noise.

Photoshop Compatible
modo reads and writes PSD files and also uses a layered approach to building up the look of your designs that will make you feel right at home.
