The Foundry has announced the upcoming release of v901 of its 3D application. New features include:
- Better Booleans with MeshFusion plugin now included
- Renderer optimizations resulting in faster, cleaner renders
- Progressive texture baking – new progressive ray tracing
technique that lets you preview your textures as you bake - New and improved modeling tools – Topological Symmetry, Split and
Fill Slice tool option, Quad Fill Pattern mode, Linear and Radial
Align, Multi-edge slicing, etc. - Better ways of working with both regular and UDIM multi-tiled UVs
– better packing, transfers, straightening and alignment - Layered multi-resolution sculpting – work with multiple sculpt
layers at each mesh level, and transfer multi-resolution displacement
vectors between meshes. - Choice of individual or floating licensing included in base price
for new seats
Modo 901 is scheduled for release in late May. According to The Foundry more changes and improvements will be announced closer
to the release date.
Those who purchase version 801 now will receive a free upgrade to 901
when it ships. If you own 701 or earlier and upgrade to 801 at this
time, you’ll automatically get upgraded to 901 for free when it ships.
Watch a new features video on YouTube and find out more on The
Foundry’s website.
looks nice …what about autodesk seems like they are taking their time
adding mesh fusion was the logical and smart move.
also note the base price for 901 has risen from $1495 to $1795 ($1795 was the 801 node locked price point byw) so the individual license version has risen around $300 whereas the node locked price has not really changed.
@Steve, I just went to Lux’s site, 801 is still listed as $1495 per seat, the $1795 is the floating license. Is that what you meant?
That aside, Mesh Fusion addition plus sculpting, UV are really nice additions.
Here’s me reaching, remember the ‘Made with Mischief’ infinite details IP they bought along with Mischief? The Modo team showed some pretty impressive videos with Taron using ADF for sculpting, it seemed to give dynatopo a run for it’s money.
I’m hoping it makes it to Modo eventually, c’mon Lux, surprise me with 901 🙂
An awful lot of stuff that’s in Blender already. Can’t blame them though. Blender as a pretty complete modelling toolset.
