[Walter Soyka] “I’m watching some Modo videos now. You could have just said, “Walter, go look up ‘tool pipeline’ right this very second!””
Very glad to hear it. I thought it would probably be right up your street 🙂

Ha, but the joke is on you, as I will now be submitting Modo-inspired feature requests to the Ae team!
In all seriousness, thank you for this. I’m not sure I have the brainspace for all these 3D apps, but Modo is clearly worth a closer look.

Although of course who needs Ae when you have Nuke and the rest of the Foundry ecosystem to support Modo?
😉

I know what you mean about brainspace – 3D is really not like other applications where you can comfortably master every available offering and still have room to think.
But yes, I’ve been a huge fan of Modo for a while now and 801 looks to have nailed so much more that it’s hard not to see it as a very major player at this point.
A lot of 3D artists use Modo for the modelling alone – and then move over to something else for finishing (though increasingly I think we’re going to see Modo used throughout the pipeline). It’s not unreasonable to argue that Modo’s modelling tools are best in class. Do check out Mesh Fusion – it’s astonishingly powerful:

And that’s only a small part of what’s an incredibly modelling powerful toolset.

[Walter Soyka] “I used Motion really heavily in the v1/v2 era, and it was super-crashy — but isn’t that better now?”
I don’t know, I keep using Ae. 🙂
Yes, Motion seems better now, and Simon keeps pointing out its strengths, and it is very hard to ignore.
Also, almost everything I do related to mograph involves an edit. Rarely do I work on one shot.
Currently it is much easier for me to get a layered edit from fcpx (or any NLE) over to Ae than it is to get to Motion.
It also easy to collect files in Ae and send a package off to the real artists. They appreciate it much more than a flattened QT movie.
No one has asked for a Motion project yet. 🙁
