Luxology's modo is ready now for Apple’s move to Intel processors
Unique architecture and clean code make modo highly adaptable
San Mateo, Calif.– June 10, 2005 – Luxology, LLC, the creators of modo, a leading subdivision surface and polygonal 3D modeling platform, today announced modo’s compatibility with Apple’s new Intel-processor-based Macs - modo’s highly adaptable architecture will enable Luxology’s customers to access this advanced technology as soon as it’s released.
“We had a programmer working on this immediately following Apple’s announcement and within 20 minutes modo was not only compiled as a universal binary but actually running on the Intel-based Macs,†said Brad Peebler, president of Luxology, “modo’s development structure means there is no migration path to an Intel-based Mac. We’re already there.â€
Matt Craig, senior engineer for Luxology, added, “modo was built as a mach-o application using XCode from the very first line of codeâ€.
“Our next-generation architecture and clean code allowed us to start running on Intel-based Macs the same day it was announced, just like with the G5 before it.â€
modo is the fastest, most advanced subdivision surface modelling environment available. Specifically designed to help 3D artists working on games, films, TV, print, architecture and Web productions, modo enables artists to accomplish more in less time.
These advantages are made possible through a unique combination of a cutting edge toolset with painless pipeline integration, advanced software ergonomics, and a streamlined learning path. For more information on modo, visit www.modo3d.com.
