i think you're wrong about Modo being outsourced to developing nations. Remember the people who left Newtek to start Luxology were not low-level programmers. Among them was a chief scientist who was responsible for Lightwave's rendering engine. As the video explained, Modo is growing so fast because of flexible architecture. Every single thing in Modo is composed of interchangable elements. So any element which you improve is rippled throughout the whole program, benefitting every tool and function that uses that element. This is no accident, they built Modo with this type of evolution in mind...
