Luxology has released Modo 203, with enhancements to the UV editing tools, faster rendering, and a new DXF translator plug-in that offers performance and workflow improvements--all of which provides a faster path to creating high-quality 5D content for game development, design visualization, film visual effects, video production, and graphic arts.

Modo 203 includes technology and user interface additions that combine to make development of high-quality UVs faster and easier. The UV unwrap tool has been improved so that UVs are laid out by the software with less angular and proportional distortion as compared to the geometric polygon volume. The UV pinning function has been improved, enabling users to interactively relax the UV data.

The seal hole option in UV unwrap also has been overhauled for more reliability on enclosed spaces in the mesh, such as eye sockets. Moreover, UV editing is improved by a move and sew option that enables the joining and scaling of discontinuous UVs in one step. Copying and pasting a UV between polygons is now facilitated, and a new ...
