Luxology, the creators of modo, a leading subdivision surface and polygonal 3D modeling platform, announced the availability of an enhanced version of modos end-user license agreement, which gives users the right to both Mac and Windows versions when they purchase modo. Luxologys licensing strategy is a natural extension of the companys trusting relationship with customers and commitment to delivering solutions that enable designers to work with greater freedom and speed.
We license modo to an individual, not a machine, said Brad Peebler, president of Luxology LLC. Many 3D designers appreciate the ability to move back and forth between platforms; for example between a PC workstation and Mac laptop. Luxologys allows their licensed users to do this quickly and easily. Its all about trust. We deliver great software thats easy to use in a real-world environment, and they operate within the license. As long as we keep up our end, we trust the modo community will keep up theirs.
According to the company, this same philosophy is what drove the decision to offer the unrestricted production-ready evaluation of modo, which is free to use for 30 days and available for download at www.modo3d.com.
We are acutely aware of the frustration of using other software tools and interacting with other software companies, continued Peebler. Good software should make a job easier, not put up obstacles. Luxology makes development and marketing decisions with this idea in mind.
modo is the fastest, most advanced subdivision surface modeling environment available. Specifically designed to help 3D artists working on games, films, TV, print, architecture and Web productions, modo enables artists to accomplish more in less time. These advantages are made possible through a unique combination of a cutting edge toolset with painless pipeline integration, advanced software ergonomics, and a streamlined learning path.
The evaluation version of modo 102 is free and available for download at www.modo3d.com. modo 102 is available through Luxology and its worldwide partners. modo ships on a single disc supporting both Mac OS X and Windows, and sells for a suggested retail price of $895, with an introductory price of $695 available through June 30, 2005.
Based in San Mateo, California, Luxology LLC (www.modo3d.com) is an independent technology company developing high-end 3D content creation tools that enhance productivity for artists working in the film, television, gaming and print industries. modo, the companys inaugural product, is rapidly being recognized as one the most efficient and advanced 3D modeling tools in the industry.
