After years of avoiding weapons I have just completed my first one an Assault Rifle concept of my own design. I did all the work in Modo including the concepting while I modelled this meant it took a bit. I may do some more in the future as I learned a few tricks in doing the piece.
The name schnuller is a play on words from the US English translation.
In the viewport press o in the HUD field paste:
frm_hud_model_3d:sheet
Nothing happens as you first need to change tab and come back to HUD
To quickly space out items in the Item List in Modo you can use the Curve Transform Tool under the Duplicate Tab in the Model Palette F2 shortcut.
In this video William Vaughan demonstrates how to use:
This one is too easy but I never got it so:
Select the Curve in Poly mode (3 key) then hit F to flip.
Boom the curve direction is reversed, F is used to Flip the polygon faces so I would never have guessed but when you know it makes sense.
This little experimental beta command allows one to drag elements within the MODO UI for placement.
attr.editMode
Fire it in the command line to use.
Using Mesh Fusion and VizPack for designation.
Using the Polygon Bridge tool you can left click drag to adjust the number of segments in the bridge sweep.
This is a pretty intuitive workflow and easier than using the toolbox spinner.
Clicking and dragging in the Viewport to control the Bevel without using the Widget:
Scale: Left — Right
Transform: Up — Down
I wonder how practical it is to use my mobile phone for writing quick notes whilst underway.
So this dear reader is naught but a test.
The dictation system on the phone works quite well so this is another possibility also typing with their slide keyboard is pretty good too.
Okay it is a possibility good to know although I will rarely have the need.
