Quote - Modo is 32 bit for now, yes, but purrs on a 64 bit. Believe me, it is amazing how fast it is when installed to a 64 bit os. I use XP64.

Modo will be 64 bit. I was told that by Luxology on the phone.They are working on it right now but was not sure when it will be released. 302 is on it's was soon. Maybe it will come with the 64bit update too.

Oh, I know. I use it on 64 bit Vista Ultimate. In fact, I have it open right now, working on an object with about 150,000 polygons. Quite fast, and an extreme pleasure to use.
There seemed to be some speculation at the Lux forum that 302 might be 64 bit. Seems as though I read it might be here around March. or maybe it was May. Can't remember.

I'll say another thing about modo, regarding rendering. Its SSS is amazingly easy to set up and get great results, quickly. LightWave can get great SSS results too, but it's like pulling teeth sometimes to get something good.
