I see. Good to know!

Thanks Francisco, That is very helpful! I have read in some places that C4D is sometimes quite slow compared to modo (or even max) particularly the actual working viewport. have you ever found that to be a problem? Thanks again!

Thanks Alexander, Good point on the file exchange issue. 701 while read .3ds and .dxf (and write .dxf) but does not seem to natively read .dwg. There is a .dwg importer plugin, but it doesn’t seem to be too reliable….hmm.. I am trying to wean myself off of autodesk and their horrifically designed and bloated products, but those *(&^! Industry standards!

Thanks for the response Scott. I’d love to stick to one package but I’m afraid I will need to do animations/walkthroughs etc, that rhino just isn’t meant to handle. Texturing and uv mapping in rhino is also not very well developed. It is a great quick and accurate modeler though, and I do use grasshopper frequently for parametric modeling so rhino is pretty much a must, as is another package B. Blender is a good suggestion, but the UI was enough to send me running to the hills!

Hello Everyone, I am starting up a new practice and at this point simply cannot justify the cost of 3DS Max + Vray (and that stupid dongle doesn’t help either) which is what I use on a day to day basis now. I am very interested in using Modo, and I am wondering if anyone here has any thoughts or experience with Modo as an (almost) one stop visualization shop for architecture? I would probably still use rhino for my base modelling, but quite interested in, rendering, texturing, animation, etc. has anyone run into any major issues after the 701 release? Stability, bugs, support, etc? Also does anyone have any examples of great visualization using modo? Any thoughts or alternatives would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
