That said, I kind of think that if one is used to working within a ui such as found in Hexagon, etc, then modo should be fun stuff to play with... that sounds kind of funny, but... maybe it's just the colors lol
I'm painfully becoming aware of this fact myself. I bought and paid for Modo 103 and its' quite clumsy compared to Silo.
I'm just really upset that Nevercenter left out partial subdivision in the 2.0 release. I think they are planning on bringing it back but after all this time and all the folks that really wanted PartialSub to make into this release it didn't!! So I got mad and refused to upgrade until it's added in. I'm still upset over that!!!
Then DAZ had to go and make a deal with Luxology and I caved in. At first I was floored. You can streamline the entire interface to your liking, more so then Silo, and the tool set seemed really nice but as it turned out some tools were just unresponsive in some areas like sculpting. It was like dragging around a 2 ton ball to get the cursor to respond only to see nothing happened. At least in Silo this is not the case. It's like working with clay.
I tend to like more traditional modeling standards and Modo seems to like a smoother/sleeker way so if your trying to follow a traditional modeling tutorial you will be instantly lost since some of the tools are named differently and I found that just creating a sphere and trying to get it to resemble what was going on in the tutorial was just fast becoming too much effort and working my nerves. So I saved and closed the program.
I really wanted it so I could upgrade to 301 for the advanced paint tools but I think I may hold off and ask for a refund after all. I'm just not really loving the idea at this point of buying something and then not getting it and giving up and have it sit gathering digital dust and all that money out the door.
