“modo has always been my go-to package for game development and, with Unity 3.2, using modo to create content for Unity games has never been easier. I am now able to easily import my working modo scene without having to create an intermediate file and make edits by simply jumping back to modo, editing and saving the scene with the changes automatically being updated in my Unity project.”

– Wes McDermott, multimedia artist and Unity 3.2 beta tester
