You'd be amazed many users based their purchasing decisions on seemingly small little things like the sphere analogy. It's a very competitive business to be in. I suppose these companies are making more bucks on training materials than on software. Question now is, will the next 3d app be friendlier than Modo? Will it give you a sphere when you want one, not a freakin elliptical disc? Lol.
I'd like to see Hex's universal manipulator, SketchUp's push and pull and inference guides as well as its drag and drop materials, which you will also see in Carrara, then be able to tweak the material as you like, things like that. ;) |
Hmm. Modo is very intelligent in its tool design and workflow. It doesn't have a circle or oval tool like Hexagon, Silo, etc.. Instead just select the sphere tool and draw the 2D outline you want, don't pull it out and you are done. What if you want to just click and have a sphere drawn? Well Modo is adaptable. Just copy the command history of the action you take to draw a sphere and make it a shortcut. Or even add a button to the interface for the tool, or a rollover in a pie menu. I think you need to experiment with the program a bit more before you make judgments. In Modo I see the future. The flexibility of applications like Maya or Houdini within an easier to use framework.
