  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Luxology on the move...

I don't imagine Apple will try to acquire Luxology there's just no need for it.
Considering the growing popularity of Modo on the other hand a step like this isn't the least bit surprising at all. It'll be interesting to see if they ever try and add some animation tools to the app, though it is possible that they are only interested in working on the perfect modeling app.

modo 301 already has basic animation capabilities in it, full ca tools are definately coming!
 
I hope Modo & Luxology stay a separate company. I haven't checked on them for a while, but I was impressed with them when they started out.
 
I'm not sure how would Apple's closed doors policy affect Luxology's open minded mentality, but 3d object support in Motion would be very nice.

Available in 301 but basic, plus graph editor needs improvements IMO, to achieve the functionality and intuitivity of After Effects or Motion graph editors.
 
Seems like pmG's messiah would be a great way to acquire some robust CA tools very quickly.

Apple doesn't need to purchase Luxology for this to happen not by a long shot.

Personally I don't see a powerful need for 3d object support in motion unless you wanted to do temp graphic mockups or something maybe lower thirds really quickly.
 
At the very least, Apple need some 3d strategy!

It's not JUST about Motion ... it's about the new, forthcoming COMPOSITING APP ..... but those are only rumors .... right?:matrix:
 
Couldn't they do what Maxon and Adobe have done and work together on integration between their products then do some joint promotion and leave it at that??
 
Shake is EOL. The new app was, as far as I know, code-named Phenomenon. Haven't heard anything new about that in a long time.

I don't count turn table renders as animation.

Take another look - does a lot more than turn-tables. ...That's so Modo 201. :bleh:
 
I really hope Apple has a new compositing app ready around MacWorld - for sure by NAB.

As for them acquiring Luxology, I kinda doubt that will happen. Such an acquisition seems to go against the whole philosophy that Brad and the guys have. But that doesn't mean Apple won't buy them out and still let them do their own thing. I do wish that Modo's development pace was faster though...
