LUXOLOGY - MODO - Cool User Interface!

[archislave]

I think the user interface of modo is great and the gray background would allow you to focus on the drawigng area if it were white. I wish GS would get some inspiration on the simplicity for Archicad 10!

As a modo user, I attest to its fantastic fluid behavior and swell interface. Great "usability," as the current human/computer interface jargon goes.

Best example of modo use here in Vancouver [the Embassy]:

worth waiting for the download.

My personal favorite for cool interfaces however, remains LightWave - a sophisticated modeler/renderer for use in architecture and cinema - also popular in a swank deep-thinking subculture:www.newtek.com

ArchiCAD could certainly be sent to the cyber nip/tuck guys for an interface redo - liposuction, re-integration, dermabrasion and a dialog box tuck.

I don't like it so dark...

That's just their default - you can customize the whole experience.

Doesn't that interface looks like the ones used by KPT, or more recently by Apple's Motion, FCP, DVD Studio?

Like my overly-permissive father said in the seventies when young people were living together without benefit of clergy:

"They're all doing that, now."

One point in their favor is the No_Restrictions Demo of the software.
