CG News: Modo Discontinued (Patreon)

Foundry recently announced that one of its flagship products, the DCC app Modo, is being discontinued. Paid users will get 1 more year of support, but Foundry also took the very unexpected step of giving away a free 10 year license. When the news first came out I thought that would only be available to previously licensed users, but nope, it's free for everybody.

I never really used Modo since it was extremely expensive and, in my limited experience, felt dated. But, I hear great things about its capabilities, with some saying in particular that it's the best app out there for modeling.

Well, for the price of $0 it doesn't hurt to give it a try!

Installers can be downloaded here: https://www.foundry.com/products/modo/download

And the 10 year license and instructions to enable it are here: https://campaigns.foundry.com/modo-eol-license
