New modo 501 features Pixar Subdivisions

摘要

The difference in modo 401 and modo 501 may be a single digit, but if you upgrade from the former to the latter, you can expect to see an up to 40% increase in rendering speed, according to Luxology. In addition, modo 501 also promises improvements in texture baking, depth of field, bump mapping and fur simulation. "We've done a lot of research looking into speed gain in CPU vs. GPU. I was hoping to find speed gains in the GPU. We don't find that to be true immediately," notes Brad Peebler, Luxology's CEO, in the video launching the new release.
