Rendering, I think, is no longer an exclusive thing nowadays, jbshorty. And I still think that the 3d market for modern 3d packages is still up for grabs. Modo may be the most recent addition to the market, but it won't be the last. Users will forever be looking for 3d apps with extremely streamlined, simplified interfaces and workflows. Obviously, the problem is the way 4 main features (modeling, texturing, rendering, animation) are packaged in one single application, which is not a piece of cake if you're a developer. Nor will we see Hex and Silo to be the last modern additions when it comes to modeling. Enter Carrara with rooms. One is for modeling, another is for shading, etc. That certainly looks like a modern application even though Carrara is considered an old app. In any event Modo won't be the last. Softimage may surprise us one of these days with a special announcement.
