Modo

This was actually from a while aback. My company had noticed I was reading all these 3ds Max, Maya and Modo books when I discovered a grant I could get that would cost the company nothing and I could go to classes and take training. I had wanted to take a Vectorworks course, but was also taking a Modo class and found I was loving Modo more than my Vectorworks class. The rendering system in Modo is great, especially if you like Photoshop. This was not the final product, but bascially I ended up doing an email blast render for my company that was showing off a new light that they made, a 30K Blast. So this was set up to show two cameras at 90 degrees, which captured the light bouncing off the reflector and casting light onto the crash test pillow, while some object would explode into a million pieces and be captured at thousands of frames per second. Pretty neat stuff. Oh, and the light is powered by a power supply that only needs AC power (basically a household plug that is 15 amps would power it). Neat, huh? I had fun modelling everything. I got no sleep that week because I was entranced by watching Modo's renderer render. LOL. Raytracing rules! Hehehe.
