Modo is a 3D modeling/rendering application which is quite fast at rendering, and not quite the price tag or complexity of 3D Studio Max.

If you are in the market I would wait until they run sales (historically has been a good sale per year (-30 to -40%).

If it is better or worse than the competition - well, mileage may vary as they say. Depends on primary use, your preferences etc.

Technically I suppose Blender (freeware) can produce just as good renders with some effort, but for me there is a preference on the graphical user interface plus some other things that makes me prefer modo.

Forgive me for asking but whats Modo? Is it better than 3D Studio Max for lighting rendering?

Looks good- thanks for the feedback

Ah, cool, so "hidden" under the Application menu - I overlooked that.

Anyway, thanks!
Testing commences :)

The Export to 3D menu is only active when you have a 3D Window open and an object selected which you want to export. Its located in the Application Menu - Export Trial version has no limitations.



Applicable to all versions of Visual Building

Hi, just downloaded and looked at the help info which refers to an "Export" menu that I cannot find in the Basic version.

Can you confirm that this is intentionally missing from the Trial version?

I downloaded the trial to check if the 3D exported formats are usable with my main 3D application Modo.

Cheers,
Rune
