Nervous Chimp visits Luxology Headquarters
If you are active on the modo forum, you have probably chuckled over Nervous Chimp’s postings as much as we have. So when we heard he was coming to San Francisco, we invited him to Luxology headquarters for a fun visit! We greeted him wearing t-shirts with his picture on them and Tobiah wore his banana suit. Brad wore his Batman costume and Nervous Chimp wore his glasses.

Luxology staff got a little silly when Nervous Chimp visited us recently in Mountain View.

New book explains how to use modo to create game content
Focal Press has published a new book by Wes McDermott called “Creating 3D Game Art for the iPhone with Unity iOS: Featuring modo® and Blender Pipelines”. This is a good resource if you are an app builder or simply want to learn more about getting modo data into the Unity game engine. Click here to visit the book’s website.

Death of Insect
Eäärn Hyönteisen Tuho is a 7 minute long experimental short film.
