A new month, and new toys!
Besides showing some of the new features on tap for modo in version 4.xx, Luxology has released the import/export tools for Rhino and SketchUp. I’ve been trying these out for the last few months, and it’s really good to see these things being released and available to current modo users. I’ve also been kicking around the Mac OS X Beta version of Rhino, and while it’s not quite ready for Prime Time, it is really a joy to use.

Also just released was version 4 of Parallels, and some casual testing on my MacBook Pro has been very positive. Where previous versions simply wouldn’t even start modo, Version 4 seems to cook along smoothly. You can even setup the number of processors in Parallels and you’ll see the corresponding number of buckets in a modo render. So far so good.

But, back to our post. This one is going to show some of the basics in working with the Rhino plugin for modo, and I’ve used the Beta of Rhino Mac OS X to generate the test files.
