Quote - > Quote - Messiah is the part that completes Modo. I have my eye on that walk plugin.

In your planned workflow, after animating, what is it that makes you want to take everything into Modo? The renderer?

...the walk plugin...is that a walk cycle plugin? is it an add-on for Messiah? I guess it would not be for Modo.

Modo does not do that kind of character animation, yet. Scheduled to start happening in version 6 but that's just the beggining. It will take awhile to have it all implimented. So Messiah fills that gap.

Model in Modo>rig and animate in Messiah. You then can go back to Modo or stay in Messiah for rendering. Depends on what your doing.

The walker is a walk cycle plugin but gives total control of everything as in walking up stairs, step distance, ect.ect. In real time. The Messiah/Modo tutorial shows and uses it. After some reading I still don't know if it is also 64 bit and how it works with auto rig 3 and Messiah 5. Will inquire over there and see if I can get some up to date answers. I think with all the new users there will be lots of questions that need up to date answering. LOL.

Messiah has not slowed down using a V4 with me. My work station is starting to get old but it is 3.6gh phenom II quad with 8gb ram and a GTX 460 1gb with 64 bit os. So I'm wondering what kind of machines are being used and getting noticable slow down. Now I will admit that I have not thrown in 10 V4's in one scene but I was using the demo and could not save anything. Now with the full 64 bit installed I will have to give it a try.
