"Modo, I've been hearing about that app lately, I think BastBlack was talking about it awhile back. Is it easier than Max?"

From what I have been read around the net, many of the Max and Maya users are now modeling in Modo. Then go back and rig in thier main apps. Iron man was modeled in Modo, then IIRC rigged in Max and rendere in Lightwave. There is a story about it at Luxology. Many of the big studios are using it for thier modeling now along side thier main apps.

The UI is completely adjustable. You can set defaults of many of your other apps or make your own up.
