About modo Over the past five years, 3D software has evolved tremendously. Skuuma wanted the best of this new class of software to be available for you, and thus we are pleased that Luxology is deeply involved in this design competition with their amazing software called modo. The modo software is built for artists and designers, or anyone who can think in creative, spatial ways. modo is redefining what 3D modeling is about. Luxology will be making available a special free 30 day license to modo 302 for the Mac and PC. And along with the software, they have also created a series of four (4) video tutorials to explain how to use modo for furniture design. Go get it now. How you can use modo With modo you create your furniture idea on a Mac or PC by starting with a basic shape, be it a cube or perhaps a cylinder. You can model or sculpt into whatever form you want – from a modern beveled look to a shocking “melted” look.

You can then apply textures from existing images to any part of the model to introduce stitching, grooves, or other surface treatments. You can apply color your entire piece or add materials like metal or wood to adjust the look of each cushion or leg as you see fit. modo can render out a digital image with stunning clarity and lighting. That image and the model you created are what you electronically submit to SKUUMA as you enter the contest. 3D You Can Touch 3D software is not only getting more powerful and more artistic, there is a revolution going on in the world of 3D printing and manufacturing. The age of 3D printing is upon us. And the SkUUMA Design Competition is a great example…5 winners will be picked to have their furniture designs realised and added to the SkUUMA home and office collection! Luxology, your design partner Luxology is a different kind of Software Company. Many of us are artists ourselves and we build modo with the experience that comes from creating computer graphics over many years, using many different approaches. We also have very customer friendly business practices such as providing both Mac and PC versions of our software together, and not requiring a hardware dongle. We also invest a lot of time in creating training materials so that you can get the most out of modo.
