Luxology Offers User Content Sharing Site for modo
 SAN
MATEO, CA, Jun 30, 2009 - Luxology LLC, developer of modern, artist-focused
3D software, has created a new asset sharing Web site that serves as a
participatory content-sharing portal and learning resource. Users are now
able to upload and download Presets of all kinds as well as exchange
associated usage tips and techniques with other artists. Introduced
concurrently with the recently released modo 401 software, the
custom-developed site provides modo artists with an easily accessible online
resource for content re-utilization.

The new asset sharing Web site is an extension of the streamlined
workflow in modo 401 that facilitates the re-use of assets throughout the
content creation process. Users can browse through the site's visual
interface to select Presets such as realistic surface materials, 3D meshes,
profile curves, animation assemblies and professionally designed lighting
environments, which can all be utilized in modo 401. Artists and designers
can also upload images and other assets to the site in order to share them
with the rest of the modo community. To facilitate asset re-use, the site
allows searches by category, popularity or by keyword search.
"With this new sharing mechanism, we are offering modo users the
collective talent, experience and creative output of the entire modo user
base," said Brad Peebler, president and co-founder of Luxology. "Artists
will now be able to quickly find Presets that make their scenes come alive
as well as upload and store their own Presets. The site was developed
specifically to fit the needs of the modo user community and integrates
seamlessly with the rest of our Web site."
The site also offers artists the opportunity to learn new techniques used
by others in the creation of Presets, as well as a way to provide tips on
how to use each asset. For example, when a material Preset is uploaded, the
structure and components of the material are automatically displayed into a
form that lets modo users understand how materials will look and act in
modo's Shader Tree. Users can also accompany their contributions with text,
video and images that explain in detail how a particular asset can be used.
"I've already found the asset sharing site to be a fantastic resource,"
says Yazan Malkosh, a 3D artist and modo 401 beta tester. "Browsing the
assets currently available online, including various materials,
environments, meshes, assemblies and profiles, is very motivational - I've
already used a number of them in addition to contributing my own. I'll be
checking back regularly whenever I have a new project."

enthusiasts are encouraged to visit the asset portal; however, only modo 401
registered users may upload assets to the site.
