The V hotkey popup menu can be customized. I did a tutorial a few years ago on how to do it but I deleted it more recently. Pretty easy to do via the menu manager.

Oh wow. Brilliant plugin back in its day. Great to see it's been brought back to life :)

My understanding is all they've done is replaced the previous software display mode when painting in Bodypaint with an OpenGL hardware display mode. This makes the viewport preformance a lot better plus more visually accurate.

My Bodypaint tutorials by the way are still relavent to Bodypaint. The only thing that has changed since recording the tutorials is a few Bodypaint layout changes and the addition of the UV peeler tool. The videos are free to download here: https://vimeo.com/album/3431194

I wouldn't hold your breathe on expecting UV tool enhancements in R19 folks. All you can expect is a couple of minor tweaks to a couple of UV tools. Major enhancements are a long way off. My guess is with the new painting enhancements you still can't paint with symmetry. You should be able to toggle symmetry painting on and off as you can in other apps.

I'm happy for the thread to be locked. BTW it aint all plain sailing for Modo either. There's some unhappy users over in the Modo forums. Doesn't matter what 3D app you use, most users are very passionate about their 3D software.

Wait till you see what's in C4D R19 then come back to us and talk about lacklustre. As mentioned Modo 11 is being rolled out over several releases. Those of you expecting R19 to be a big release with new UV tools, faster object handling etc are going to be mighty disappointed.

Probably not worth anything as there's no upgrade path to newer versions and the licence transfer fee is likely higher than the software is currently worth.

Use the Australian price from Adimex as they supply New Zealand. I wouldn't bother with the NZ reseller as they don't list prices on their site.

Modo's render engine is quicker than C4D's. There's plenty of Modo tutorials. Just a matter of searching them out. I still have no regrets about jumping ship. 2 years on, still no updated UV tools / paint tools. The new core is still being worked on. I'm picking R19 still won't be the big one. MAXON's communication via social media is still woeful. As for the blog, I just roll my eyes and look to the sky. Life is great. I'm the fittest I've ever been and going to the New Zealand age group cycling champs in a couple of weeks time. Haven't done much 3D since 2016. We've just had summer and it's too hot to be sitting in front of a computer for hours on end. I'll be getting back into it after the champs when I take some time off from cycling and now that the seasons have changed.

Modelling and UV editing workflow is mostly superior to C4D. Communication from The Foundry a quantam leap better than what MAXON does.

If you're on a phone and browsing the cafe with a web browser the cafe's forum software should detect that you're on a mobile device and give you the mobile view. It functions pretty much the same way a dedicated app would work. I've just tested now on my phone and things seem to working as expected.

Would that be in the left hand column of forum posts? If so then it's a bit tall. No need to include gender.

The joys of running the Cafe :)

Merry Christmas everyone. Christmas morning here already in New Zealand. I got up early and did an hour's workout on my bike while the family were still asleep. Just waiting for Granny to arrive and we'll open the pressies :)

Attached for the benefit of Cafe members is the option to stop usage data being sent to The Foundary. Yup, the data is being stored on your computer but it isn't being sent. This is almost identical to MAXON's user participation system. Also shown in the attached image. If you're really paranoid and don't trust the option you could prevent Modo sending any data over the internet by editing your Firewall program options. Non issue as far as I'm concerned. I'm actually quite happy to send my usage data to The Foundary and MAXON as it may help them make the program better.

I'd be up for a challenge. Be great to be able to enter now that I'm no longer a judge.

Sort of thing I would have expected to see on MAXON's blog.
