Revit model + Modo Render

[Mike Hahn]

The model was done in revit. Added detail and rendered it in modo 202.

Hi there.

So what is modo 202?

Seems like a decent renderer. What made you choose this over the other options available?

Interested to hear more about it!

Otherwise, in terms of the images, they seem pretty decent. I think they would look even better with some more detail added to them, as well as possibly changing the colour scheme to avoid the 'apple green!' (just a personal opinion )

Regards,

Max.

Modo 202 is a modeling/rendering software put out by a company named Luxology. Their website is www.modo3d.com. If you are really interested they have a 30 day trial.

I choose it over other software packages for a bunch of reasons. One is the price, msrp 850, which is a is alot less expensive then the autodesk offerings. Also the availability of free training materials, it ships with something like 5 gigs of training videos. Plus they have a strong user base on their forums which is willing to help in the learning process. The render is also pretty quick and relatively easy to use.

As to the render, it is not the best representation of what the modo render can do, I did these images a short amount of time helping a coworker learn the software.

Here is the link to the Luxology gallery to see what other users can do with the software:

What were your render times like for these images?

[Mike Hahn]

All these images were rendered in less than 20 minutes.

I am using a Quadcore machine with 4gigs of ram.

I am using a Quadcore machine with 4gigs of ram.

I wish I had one of those

How is the performance of Revit on that pc ?
