Yeah Modo's slowly getting to that stuff, they're adding some fairly useful baseline animations stuff in 401, will be fun to play with, but it's still nowhere near as complete a package as Max or Maya. I'm just routing for them harder than ever now that Autodesk got all monopoly hungry. I was so sad when XSI sold.

I like vray too, but I'd like to be able to render and model in the same program, and the preset system they're adding in Modo 401 looks awesome.

If you're bored check some of this out Luxology > modo 401 Partially Revealed: Introduction

They're slowly building, and even with the occasional wonky stuff I'm starting to see vray or better quality renders done in Modo. Plus did I mention that presets look awesome, because they do!
