modo 401 Review by Mark Bremmer – September 2009

“The interface is easy on the eyes, chock full of contextual menus, and displays some really common-sense features that leave me crying for similar features in the other packages I work with.”

“If you have multiple computers in your studio and want to create a render farm to accelerate your renders, I’ve found no easier set up than modo.”

“The rendered output from 401 is just fantastic.”
