Luxology has introduced modo 601, a 3D modelling, painting, rendering, and animation software. It includes character animation, built-in dynamics, volumetric rendering, and re-topology modelling tools for professionals in media and entertainment, advertising, engineering and architectural design visualization.



Modo offers character animation functionality, easy-to-use posing tools, fully articulated character rigs that can be manipulated through a full-body inverse kinematics solver, and a general purpose system of layered deformers.

New photorealistic rendering capabilities include volumetric rendering, render booleans, hair and skin shaders, and rounded edge control for hard surface models.

modo 601 is available for both Mac OS X and Windows at $1,195 with an upgrade price of $495. Existing modo owners can upgrade for $395 for the next two weeks. Also, for a limited time, users of Maya, 3ds Max, Softimage, Houdini, Cinema 4D, and LightWave 3D will be offered a cross grade to modo for $795.
