Plugin for Modo v15+

Nearly halfway through the release cycle for Modo 15, still no plugin. Zero information on whether this is still being developed, nothing for expected release dates. Is it time for Modo users to forget Substance and move on to alternatives?

Dear User,

Correct answer is more to notify everyone of the current status. I understand your frustration. This is in our backlog and we don't have an estimated time yet. 


The impression from your earlier response is that updating the Modo plugin has not even started yet. Your Plugins Page claims that Marmoset Toolbag is supported too but that too is not the case. Legacy versions of Modo and Marmoset Toolbag may be supported but current versions are not. It is more than frustration, If I say to your billing dept that I am "swamped with additional costs and can only pay some of my subscription this year" you will close my account. Patience went out of the window with perpetual licenses.

Modo 15 was released March, now we are getting close to September.

While the Modo 14 plugin had some issues it is still better than no plugin.

Not sure I understand why this could not have been patched for 15 before starting a complete rewrite or whatever reason this is taking so long. Anxiously looking into what options I have, I notice that most integrations are in bad shape.

I think this is what happens when a company like "Adobe" gets into a side of the business they dont understand. They continually fail IMO with their approach to all things 3D. They want to make it accessible to their very large audience/users, and they miss the mark for people that are professional level 3D artists. They may as well have purchased DAZ for how they expect people to interact with 3D creation.  Sure they bought substance, its amazing, but here we are looking for how to use it again with our apps.

Hi there! We do have the Substance 3D for Modo 15 plugin on our roadmap. At this time we do not have a set timeline.

 

Thanks,

Now terms are subscription only, dragging your heals and not having a set timeline has become less acceptable.

As stated more than half my subscription has gone and still I have to choose between using Substance or staying current with my primary 3D application. With perpetual yes, perhaps you can expect us to be patient but this is no longer the way we do business is it?
