Last week’s MacExpo conference in London saw the MacUser ‘Maxine’ editorial award for Best 3D Animation Software of the Year given to modo, the flagship product from independent technology company Luxology LLC. The award was presented by MacUser, one of the U.K.’s leading Macintosh magazines, on Oct. 26 during a ceremony at The Hurlingham Club in Fulham, England.
MacUser chose to honor modo for its ‘superior speed and intuitive user interface.’ The OS X version of modo enables Mac users to create 3D models and images for a variety of applications, including graphic design, game and film production, education and design visualization. Content creation is enhanced by realistic graphics viewports that provide real-time feedback and speed of manipulation.
‘We thank MacUser‘s editorial team for recognizing modo,’ says Brad Peebler, president and co-founder of Luxology. ‘The other 3D software competing for this prestigious award is also to be congratulated and we were pleased to be in the company of this new crop of great 3D software.’
In August of this year, modo was recognized for Best Use of OS X Graphics at the 11th Annual Apple Design Awards, held during Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco.
Engineered to smoothly integrate into existing tool pipelines and work together with other leading 2D and 3D software applications, modo accelerates the creation of models, associated color and normal maps, and high-quality renderings. The software is available now for the list price of $895, and is available through Luxology and its worldwide reseller partners on both the Mac OS X (Universal Binary) and Windows platforms. A free 30-day full-function evaluation version of modo is also available for immediate download from www.modo3d.com.
