• More complete Timestamp interface
• Search projects system-wide
• Common project actions: “Batch Rename Files”, “Batch Relocate Files”

Luxology modo is a 3d modeling, painting and rendering application written by the original makers of the Lightwave line of software products. Because of their enormous amount of industry experience, this next generation 3d application focuses on workflow, production and streamlining of the entire 3d modeling process. modomojo.com is a site dedicated to aggregating the information all over the internet, in print and publication about Luxology modo. Our partnerships with other sites which serve to support modo in addition to our integration with the user community mean that this site can become the portal to the wide variety of information types available for modo and 3d modeling in general.

Who maintains this site?

modomojo.com is maintained by rDivision utilizing Coalmarch Productions content management system, CoalEngine. We are fans of the software community and daily users of the application itself to produce content for our web and graphic design clients.

What is modomojo?

modomojo.com is a content aggregation site for all things relating to Luxology modo. Whether you are looking for inspiration for your next hobbyist model, trying to organize a community event or are just looking to kill some time by reading about theory and industry standard workflows modomojo.com will strive to serve content that is fresh and relevant.

When was modomojo started?

modomojo.com is admittedly a young site. It’s inception is May 29th, 2006 with planning and organization only having begun in February of 2006.

Where can I find information pertaining to Luxology modo?

modomojo.com does not strive to be a centralization point for the content related to modo. Rather our goal is to provide the artist with factual information pertaining to the individual tutorials and support materials already available on the net. You will find reviews of tutorials, simple walk-thrus on the application of scripts and eventually plug-ins (when they become available) and only a moderate amount of first generation content. There are a great number of people out there producing content that is relevant to supporting the modo user community; we hope to provide another level of distribution for this material altogether.

HooDoo is a brand new product from Coalmarch Productions scheduled for release in June 2006. We are presently taking applications for beta-testers and would love to hear from you whether you’re a freelance artist, or a member of a larger production team responsible for tracking your time accurately and working with tons of files.
