Siggraph 2008 .. // Roundtable 1  |   Order by default Post by aidanodr // Aug 12, 2008, 7:37am aidanodr Total Posts: 90 Hi Guys, Now that Siggraph 08 has got out of the traps I thought it appropriate to have a general message on announcements and new toys coming from this event. I can start with MODO ( I use this app also ) - they had their Siggraph bash this monday. Have a look here at the new toys that are up and coming in Modo - -main thing is fur and hair, have a look at those last two videos ... mmm: http://www.luxology.com/event/2008/SIGGRAPH/index.aspx Cheers Aidan PS I know their is a Siggraph thread already, but that was specifically asking is TS at siggraph. This is more general. PSS I look forward to the imminent FBX plugin for TS and to see interoperability between TS and Modo particularly on the Character Animation Side, as Modo doesnt have this yet!

Luxelogy 1)Modo continues forward, hair is present now. XSI It's all been said before, most people I've heard from can't say enough about this package... This is the REAL deal right now in the industry. More to come as it comes available. Rich Post by RAYMAN // Aug 12, 2008, 10:05am RAYMAN Total Posts: 1496 List is NOT complete !
