The Foundry has surprised Modo users with a free update to its flagship 3D application that brings tools for digital matte painting and virtual camera creation as well as bug fixes. New features include:
- Camera matching – easily match a 3D camera to a background image just by drawing on screen and using one-click set-ups: you can match position, rotation, focal length and resolution, and estimate lens distortion
- Projecting images – choose from the Projection Texture to project images into a given texture channel, and the Projection Shader to replicate the exact pixels of the real-world image unaffected by your scene’s lighting and shading
- Projection Ink – use Modo’s brush-based tools to paint projected textures directly onto UV-mapped geometry. Blend images from multiple cameras to create seamless maps that work from any angle.
- Camera Plane modifier – create an image plane with a single click. Modo will adjust size, position and rotation to keep it filling the screen as you adjust the depth. Repeat for easy multi-layered compositions and animations.
- Physical Sun setup – use image metadata (location, direction, time of day) to automatically match Modo’s Physical Sun to the real-world setting. Photographed and virtual shadows will align with just a few clicks.
