The new NPR Kit lets you easily create a range of expressive and hand drawn looks when rendering in modo. Non-photorealistic rendering or ‘NPR’ refers to stylized or expressive 3D rendering that suggests traditional illustration. It is useful in such diverse applications as technical illustration, where edges and important features are emphasized at the expense of detailed visual accuracy, as well as cartoons where simple colors and strong lines are used to convey emotion. To learn more about the NPR Kit for modo please go here. modo image by Richard Yot LUXOLOGY FORUMS RECEIVE MAJOR UPGRADE

 Egeo Perfume
Sampaio used modo to create an image of a perfume bottle for the Boticário advertising campaign for Valentines Day. The images have an unusual color palette and lots of detail. Check it out here.
 Glass Runner
Just when you thought the London Olympics were history, here comes this Olympics-inspired animation from Gelmi with a little help from recoil dynamics in modo. See the glass man go in this Luxology Forum thread.
 Brad Peebler and David Tracy shout out!
This is just too much fun to not mention. Jason Ryan from ianimate.net used Maya and modo to create an animation based upon some banter from a modcast segment. I bet you can’t watch it just once! See the posting by Larry Vasquez in this Luxology Forum thread.
