While there is no online access to the review at this time, the editor of 3D World magazine has allowed us to post the opening sentences of this excellent review:

"modo has rapidly become the preferred modelling solution for professionals in the arenas of film, gaming, visualisation and education, and a favorite of many independent artists. One of the main reasons for its popularity is Luxology's attention to developing a user-centric application, facilitating the working process."

Final result:

Range of features - 9

"modo is the foundation in my 3d toolset and my all-time favorite modeling application! This program is absolutely addictive, and I often go out of my way just to be able to include it in my creative process. Thanks Luxology!"

"I've always been very focused on trying to find the fastest ways to create my models, and modo is definitely the fastest for me. With features such as subD edge weighting, custom work planes, the UV unwrap tool, custom action centers, and a fully customizable UI and hotkey system along with the macro/script system, I can definitely work much faster than I ever could before, which is very important for a small company such as ID software. After I'd been using modo for a couple of months, I showed my coworkers all the neat tricks I could do and they were instantly sold. Now, all of ID’s artists are modeling in modo."

"modo allows us to see more organic detail in our in-game models, which offers a new level of realism that encourages our artists to explore new ideas and ultimately produce better content for our games. We’re very impressed with modo 201’s new UV features, which have increased our production speed dramatically - a one-day UV task now takes as little as one hour to complete when using modo."
