Foundry Launches Modo 11 Series and New Purchase Options

Foundry has launched Modo 11.0 3D modeling software, the first installment of the Modo 11 Series, along with the introduction of a subscription-based pricing model.

Modo 11 Series is designed to enhance workflows for direct and procedural modeling, MeshFusion advanced Booleans and UV editing. The series focuses on performance, according to the company, especially animation, deformation and rigging. The series also extends interoperability with other 2D and 3D applications in Modo’s ecosystem.

Also, for the first time, Modo customers will be able to receive every software update and new release via a subscription-based service, Modo Subscription.
