This last past week I had a chance to try out Modo!. My Friend let me borrow his copy. Its very much like LW Modeler with the same feel and keystrokes. It gives you the option while your installing it to have the same keystrokes as either LW or Maya.
Which I thought was a very nice option. So if you get it you can jump right into it with out having to lean very much. I would have to say its everything I wished LW 8 modeler would have been and more! The Down fall with Modo is! No Render engine nor animation. And the price is kinda high at alittle over $800 bucks for just a Modeler. But what a great modeler it is! Now if they can put together a nice fast render engine and some animation tools. in the next couple of versions. The switch will indeed be made by me to go Modo style. Its a shame to see LW falling way behind in the times. Because I really do like LW and would hate to have to see them die out!.
