Welcome to the pixelfondue links. We find that it's helpful to 3D Artists and content producers alike if we can collect plug-ins, asset packs and kits all in one place. pixelfondue is not selling any of these items, we are merely providing links to the seller's page (usually gumroad or vimeo). Any questions related to buying these products or support should be directed to the sellers (not pixelfondue....please....not pixelfondue....we're just providing links here, folks). If you have a plug-in, asset pack or kit that you would like us to link to, please send an email to contact@pixelfondue.com with Pixel Fondue Links as the subject.
TRacer X is a plugin for Modo®, the powerful and flexible 3D modeling, texturing and rendering toolset from Foundry.
The kit contains 4 mesh operators:
- Curve Tracer X
- Noise Displacement X
- Image To Weight X
- Push X
Curve tracer will allow you to generate curves from animated mesh vertices (bspline, curve and polyline are supported).
Noise displacement instead applies a perlin noise to the underlying mesh or curve.
Image To Weight X takes an image from the clip browser and converts it to a Weight Map.
Push X is the same as the standard modo's Push deformer, but it supports a weight map, to be combined with Image To Weight X.
VizPack: Architecture is a collection of over 90 materials providing a range of detailed and physically accurate shaders to cover many different needs. With a focus on interior and architectural renders the materials in this collection are general purpose materials representing the clean, subtly textured materials required for visualisation work.
These materials are the result of years of research, using both measured data and visual references to create the most accurate and realistic materials possible. The materials are designed to look good both from a distance and in close-up, with layers of detail that become apparent when you zoom in on them. The materials on offer in this collection are more detailed and consistent than those that ship with MODO by default, and will give better results in high quality renders.
Foundation is a template manager that integrates easily into any workflow. It comes with four (4) templates. One for basic modeling, one for modeling people or humanoid creatures, one for modeling faces, and one for rendering product that is complete with a lighting setup. There are six (6) additional slots for creating your own templates. You can even use all 10 for your own if you like.

This is a collection of functions and shortcuts that I use frequently but not enough to warrant committing a valuable keystroke to.
Included with this kit are 10 scripts who’s focus is to reduce keystrokes. The implementation of these are either through a button in the toolbox or through a keystroke.
Another focus of the kit is to reduce the landscape used by all of my add-ons in the MODO toolbar. So if this is your first kit, then only the “Common Tools” button will appear and made even easier with the shortcut keystroke (top 8). However, if you've purchased any of the other kits I’ve made, they will appear in the popover menu. You may need to reset your preferences for the changes to take effect if this is installed after a pay for add-on.
Requirements: MODO +901

Richard Yot's highly regarded MODO tutorials covering Texturing, Shading, UV Mapping, Rendering and more. Richard's videos are some of the most popular and comprehensive tutorials made for MODO.
These tutorials were designed with industrial designers in mind. We are going to learn how to bring movement and life to your product designs so you can demonstrate how your ideas work, how they solve problems, and all while looking good at the same time.
Each project-based exercise in this course will cover the basics of rigging and animation in Modo with each tutorial building upon the last.
In this bundle, you get all the content from the two transport tutorials, in which I take this transport vehicle from the design stage, all the way to high-poly renders, and then into Unreal Engine 4 and Marmoset viewer.
I go through the blockout stages, assembling a kitbashing set, modelling the entire vehicle and creating decals and procedural materials for the highpoly renders, before creating the lowpoly, unwrapping it and bringing it into unreal and marmoset.
This tutorial is for intermediate users of MODO, it does assume that you have some knowledge of how to find your way around MODO and its tools.
Mike James “Modeling with MODO” series includes seven volumes, covering research, extrapolation of data from poor documentation, modeling, texturing, rigging, rendering, and animation. While the subjects are mostly aviation-related, the techniques shown in these tutorials can of course be applied to any subject.
Each tutorial is provided in an HTML “web site” format, so that reference articles can be included along with the video, and so they can be accessed as references later, in any order you like. These can be purchased individually, or via package deals that save you some money, when purchasing more than one at a time.
