Powerful, High-speed cloud rendering service for Modo with Vray render

Modo is a 3D modeling and animation software that includes powerful and flexible sculpting, texturing, lighting, and rendering toolsets. Modo is used by artists around the world to create assets and shots for various industries including animation, VFX, games, architecture and design.

Modo is a commercial modeling tool, which ships with its own CPU-based rendering engine. In addition to it, two more 3rd party engines are available: VRay and Maxwell Renderer. Modo is tightly integrated with the other tools developed by The Foundry: Nuke, Mari and Katana. And in today’s article, let’s together learn about Vray and one of the great solutions to get the best rendering performance: cloud rendering service for Modo with Vray from iRender.

Why Modo?

  • The industry’s fastest modeling toolset

With fast direct modeling, flexible procedural modeling, the award-winning MeshFusion Boolean toolset and built-in sculpting tools all working together, Modo’s modeling moxie is unmatched.

  • A sandbox for creative exploration

 Free yourself from creativity-killing constraints, with Modo’s intuitive, artist-friendly toolset. From roughing out volumes to creating highly detailed forms, Modo lets you focus on creation, not construction.

  • Faster iterations

With its advanced photorealistic viewport and progressive renderer, and WYSIWYG look-dev for Unity and Unreal, Modo lets you visualize your designs as you develop them, so you can discover their ultimate potential in less time.

Powerful rendering for Modo artists. V-Ray is a complete interactive lighting, shading and rendering toolkit, giving you full control over the entire creative process, from real-time look development to the final frame. V-Ray for Modo seamlessly integrates production-proven rendering capabilities into Modo’s native workflow.

Choose between multi-core CPU and GPU-accelerated rendering for complete creative control and fast results. Built to handle the toughest projects and biggest scenes, the V-Ray plug-in for Modo is designed to fit into any production pipeline. Using Vray Next for Modo bring you a lot of advantages and we could mention some as below:
