Switching To Modo


My switch to Modo already looks far more attractive. I have ALL THE TOOLS I HAVE EVER WANTED IN ONE PROGRAM!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m subbing and for as long as I can. Sad part is trying to DL the content is incredibly difficult. It keeps throwing a network error and I have to restart the whole process.
The transition has been quiet easy really. The only things I am finding hard is flipping normals and aligning them but I am slowly getting used to it and finding out where they are. UVing is SO easy that I found it hard because I over complicated it. And I find that funny. It used to be such a hassle before.
All round I am loving it! I also can't get over the retopology tools. I like them more than 3D Coat's retopo tools!
Modo is also so fast. Even rendering is quite fast. Especially when compared to others *cough*Blender*coughcough*
I think the biggest thing I hated about Blender was the "Holier than thou" attitude for using freeware and then do nothing to help you or mock you for not knowing. The Modo community seems far nicer so far and most of the questions you need to know are already thoroughly answered and still relevant to the current version (Current version being 11.03).
Anyway, bottom line is I am much happier. And I've been working on this since I downloaded the trial. I'm soon working on some 3D assets for Clip Studio Paint.

Toon Boom Harmony Gradient Tool

In Toon Boom Harmony, how do you edit gradients? The second icon on the tool bar if you click and hold, the last tool option is the edit gradient tool. To enable a gradient, you need to first create or edit a swatch and click Gradient to enable it and then choose if you want linear or elliptical. The above video, though fast, shows this. Please do use the option to slow down the video if it's too fast. The edit gradient tool is really great and works best on vector layers. It has resize, rotate and skew and is also very easy to move about. As far as I know, even the gradient can be animated but I have not tried to do so since I don't often use gradients in my animations other than for a colour overlay effect over the entire animation. I, like many others, looked for this tool with the painting options and became quite frustrated. It took some getting used to but once you know where this tool is, it makes editing your work a lot easier. The edit gradient tool also e...

Digital Painting

Pros: No waiting for things to dry No cleaning up. No mess. Exact colours and any colour always available. My pet peeve in traditional art was running out of black or white. No worry about too big or too small. Easy to resize canvas. Print out Take as long as needed without worrying about damaging what you're working. I mean this in the way that over painting paper can damage the paper. Quicker Relaxing to do on a laptop in a comfy chair or in bed Tablet is portable Me personally I can draw emotions better, my art is more alive but other artists are the opposite. Relaxing to draw in paint tool sai and enjoy many hours of drawing with full freedom. There's less restrictions than in traditional. No need to buy more supplies, it's a one time cost for the drawing program and tablet if you take good care of your tablet. Gets addictive because once you no longer feel restricted the ideas come pouring out. Cons: Can't do it without some form of computer C...

Moho VS Synfig Side By Side Comparison

I thought I would have more to elaborate on but I don't. The painting took 1-2 hours to create and cut up into pieces and both animations took about an hour each because of a lack of skills and knowledge. If I knew the programs better I would have been much faster. Time taken would have been roughly the same.
