Quick Tip: Adding a Macro Command to Your UI in Luxology Modo 401

Final Product What You'll Be Creating

Luxology has built some extremely powerful UI customisation tools into Modo, and in this Quick Tip I will use these tools to first record a macro, and then add it into the existing UI. Although this barely scratches the surface of what is possible with the system, it’ll hopefully start you thinking about just what is possible.

    Great tutorial. Please, more on UI customization and on setting up and managing your digital assets. There are tons of tutorials on the net about modeling and rendering but there really aren’t that many on managing projects, setting up folders and simple scripting.

    Oh, and python scripting in Modo would be something that I would pay money for.
