Nicely covered, which makes me even more suspicious. But it's not only about "dynamic parenting", or "dual joint planar IK" - for info, second is Modo name for ordinary 2-bone IK chain, nothing smarter than examples in ICE PhillPack. It's about everything in this app except the renderer, that incredible talent to make simple things overcomplicated, where complex features doesn't exist at all - except the renderer, again., but AD is sooo much more decent about advertising the features.
Blender viewport is so weak that make all the whole software practical useless for my need. Also, viewport don't seems a priority for Blender developer, concentrated to put in more features as possible instead of making stronger the viewport and in general data flow management.Since Blender is where it is, for home use, it seems to be best option, just to do nothing when it comes to buying.
but AD is sooo much more decent about advertising the features.
I don't know if they'll present soon a demo or not, but what then? Luxology adopt a different upgrade system, very friendly, you don't pay in advance for unknown features, you can upgrade from the previous release (even an old release) without penalty or any kind of punishment. If you'll upgrade when the demo is out, don't cage nothing, at all. So don't understood your doubts about.Will see, if there will be demo, and I'll have a time to play with it, maybe I'll update. Most likely, not.
Price of AD products, behavior of corporation and everything related, that's one story - the way how AD is showing what AD have, that's another story. This of course includes the free demo, decent docs as well. At least for Max and Softimage, no one sentence in docs starts with "extremely useful" or so, like for Modo - I can't read this...Nizar wrote:I don't know if they'll present soon a demo or not, but what then?

I definitely agree with you on the Modo docs. Just to add a ripple deformer to a mesh is this multi-step process of adding a "falloff" an effector and some other involved steps -- and the manual treats it with a paragraph that says something to the effect of "hey look, you can do this by just adding this.".Mathaeus wrote:Price of AD products, behavior of corporation and everything related, that's one story - the way how AD is showing what AD have, that's another story.

If there is no free demo, yes, buyer *is* forced to pay in advance.
Anyway, back to "dynamic parenting" as, imho, good example. Problem is, Modo most likely has no quaternion rotation in SRT system, no at all. So it's practically impossible to do blend instead of switch, it's impossible to make a decent animation blending, it's impossible to do good motion graphics. Now, instead of implementing the feature, they running with workarounds, which itself isn't wrong - BUT, putting the workaround as feature, that's something really hard to find for any AD app. At least, AD will try to buy the best option on the market.
Well, here with no name Nvidia GT 430, it turns into quite nice performance, once VBO is enabled, and double sided for each object is turned off. Don't know why on the earth this double sided thing is enabled by default . It wasn't, long time ago, BTW SI traditionally have this disabled. Anyway it seems, sooner or later, Blender user has to dive into Phyton, Could be nice excuse for learning.Nizar wrote:

I using blender only for cycles. Also know where can disable VBO, but where is the double side thigh you mentioned?Mathaeus wrote:Well, here with no name Nvidia GT 430, it turns into quite nice performance, once VBO is enabled, and double sided for each object is turned off.

I wish all the best for Modonauts - but, for me, there is another reason for Blender over Modo, into this class of 3d app: at least where I am, If I want, I'll be able to find enough Blender artists for entire small gamedev facility, while number of Modo users, I think it's still much smaller, than number of Softimage users ( four or five, probably).
Under "object data" of each object, triangle in properties window. more about, including script for disabling on all objects Procedure for assigning to shortcut, described into thread, works here on 2.66.Nizar wrote: I using blender only for cycles.

Agree about diffusion, blender is now very popular, but blender users are frequently hobbyists.

Yep, except that in Modo as far as I can see you click 3 buttons to do that. I dont think Stephan Woermann clicked just 2 buttons to achieve that in ICE.Letterbox wrote:3 YEARS AGO...Rork wrote:nice!
