Foundry to stop developing MODO

Post by MauricioPC » 08 Nov 2024, 02:09

Hey guys ... long time. In a bit of unfortunate news, Foundry has finally banged the nail on MODO's development.

https://www.foundry.com/news-and-awards ... evelopment

Really bitter sweet. After Softimage, I remember Brad's Peebler post about it's discountinuation and that drove me to MODO. But I've always been more of a hobbyist but still, really enjoyed the software.

What's even worse is that they are shutting down the forums, deleting the training and everything else. Another one bites the dust ...

At least they shared the 10 year license so people can continue using the software:

:-o
Looks like they just, probably unintentionally, made modo freely available to all?
Stay safe, sane & healthy!

Seems like it. I had modo indie but was able to download and install no issues.
