The Blender Foundation and online developer community are proud to present Blender 2.78, released September 30th 2016! This release aims to be a very stable one, so that developers can focus better on Blender 2.8 work.
New freehand curve drawing tool uses curve fitting for bezier curves, with error and corner angle options, support for tablet pressure, drawing aligned or perpendicular to a surface, tapering, redo operator and calling from Python.
Huge changes done in this release allow Blender to work in a way similar to other 2D drawing software, and to get a production ready 2D animation tool that can mix 2D drawings with 3D objects and composition.
The draw thickness was moved to stroke, and color to a new palette color instead of saving this information per layer. Now, the layer is only a container, and strokes can use different color, strength and thickness in the same layer.
Blender 2.78 features the official Blender ID add-on, which allows you to be logged-in within Blender so that other (3rd party) add-ons can provide you with a more tailored experience. For example, with the Blender Cloud add-on you will be able to synchronize your preferences across multiple workstations.

Artists rarely work in a single application, so it is important to support multiple input and output formats. Modo supports a wide range of formats for transferring data. For more information about these formats, see Supported Formats.
You can read the various formats by opening them directly by clicking File > Open and selecting the proper file or by importing it by clicking File > Import.... The difference is that opening files makes them their own scene, while importing merges the saved file into the current scene. The following Open and Import formats are available:
During import, if the up-axis of the incoming scene does not match the up-axis of Modo, the incoming scene is transformed to match Modo's up-axis. If a conversion occurs, a message is logged in System > Advanced > Event Log.
During import, distance units inside the USD file are converted based on the metersPerUnit value of the USD file. You can disable this behaviour inside Preferences > USD I/O. For more information about Pixar USD file preferences, see File I/O Preferences.
Actor, Blob, Camera, Curve, Light, Mask, Material, Texture, Texture Locator, Locator and Mesh items are exported to USD as custom data on their respective primitive types. The data is preserved within Modo on import.
You can save a scene to a specific format with the File > Save As or the Export As command. The difference between them is that saving a file in a specific format replaces whatever is in memory, and subsequent saves continue to overwrite the saved file in the same format, while exporting keeps the same scene in memory, only writing the selected format to disk. The following Save As and Export formats are available:
The USD exporter also supports joint-based animations. Due to USD requirements, you may have to make the following changes to your models to ensure the animations work as expected in other USD supported applications:
When loading an animated scene, enabling this option loads the transformations and deformations for the entire sequence. If disabled, Modo only loads the scene for the frame specified in Import Specific Frames.
Sets the factor used to scale vertices, velocities, and object position. For non-streaming items, scale is applied only during import. For streaming meshes, scale can be modified in the Properties panel for the Alembic File Item.
Imports geometry items and deformers into the current scene, allowing you to layout and render very large animated Alembic files exported from Modo and other DCC software packages. In addition to particles, simulated meshes, and curves, multiple UV sets, materials, and parts are also imported into Modo.
Use the X, Y, and Z input fields to apply specific offset distance values (calculated from the position the object was in when the tool was activated). When adjusting an object interactively in the viewport, the Position input fields display the current offset distance applied, providing useful user feedback.
Use the X, Y, and Z input fields to apply specific rotation values. When adjusting an object interactively in the viewport, the Rotation input fields display the current offset distance applied, providing useful user feedback.
Use the X, Y, and Z input fields to apply specific scaling values. When adjusting an object interactively in the viewport, the Scale input fields display the current scale factor applied, providing useful user feedback.
You can select whether to export Alembic replicas as Geometry, Particles, or both Particles and Geometry. Exporting replicas as a particle system is a space effective method and is usually used for moving replicas into other DCC applications. Particles and geometry can then be connected to native replicators and easily modified. Exporting replica geometry is usually done for rendering purposes.
Modo's particle systems are created from replicators by adding an Alembic scalar string property called ModoReplicator. This property is enabled by default. Apart from standard Alembic point cloud attributes (positions, velocities, widths, and IDs), Modo exports the following additional data behind the scene:
Alembic is a data format that saves geometry and animation data. Established by Sony Imageworks and ILM, Alembic is an open computer graphics interchange framework. Alembic distills complex, animated scenes into a non-procedural, application-independent set of baked geometric results. The format currently supports the import and export of both static and animated meshes, including subdivision surfaces and camera data. While the format does not directly support material information, part and material tags are exchanged with the mesh data. When importing an .abc file, the files remain external to the scene, streaming in on an as-needed basis. When importing files, Modo displays a dialog.
Originally a file format developed by Kaydara for their FiLMBOX application, now owned by Autodesk. It has been adopted as a universal exchange format between digital content creation applications, because of its robust support of object, and animation data. Modo readsand writes the libraries supplied by Autodesk, that support interchange of geometry, lights, cameras, basic material and surfacing, UVs and transform animations.
A simplistic geometry format developed for the interchange of data between CAD applications.DXF format does not support surfacing, materials, Vertex Maps or animation. Modo both reads and writes this format.
A 2D vector format developed by Adobe for exchange of vector drawing information created in their Illustrator application. Though generally used for print applications, .eps files are imported into Modo as curves and you can freeze them into faces for further manipulation, render the curves directly, or use them as a basis for patch modeling. Modo does not export into .eps, except for the Export UVs to EPS command in the menu bar: Texture > Export UVs to EPS.
Modo reads and writes .lwo2 format for geometry, supporting a full array of features including UV, weight, morph, and color Vertex Maps. Equivalent surfacing data is translated as well, when applicable. Unsupported information is encapsulated and retained, as long as you remain in the .lwo format. Saving to any other format discards the extra data. The loading and saving of LightWave's scene files is not currently supported.
Rhino is a NURBS-based 3D modeling application. It has the ability to internally convert its curve based NURBS models into a triangulated polygon model. Modo reads the triangulated polygon data from any Rhino 3DM format file (Modo cannot read NURBS data directly). Modo can both Read and Write to the .3dm file format.
Universal Scene Description (USD) is a system for authoring, composing, and reading hierarchically organized scene descriptions. This format enables users to share USD files freely between applications that support it. See Introduction to USD for more information.
These files represent the three-dimensional structural data of large biological molecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids. PDB files are common interchange format for displaying these structures and can be readily found on the Internet for most any molecule type.
SVG is an open standard XML based vector image format, that supports both curve data and image map data. Modo reads the vector data stored in the format and import files as bezier curves into a scene. SVG files are generated in a vector drawing package such as Adobe Illustrator. Once imported, the Mesh Item layer is stored in a folder named after the SVG file. Imported curves can be converted to Curve Polygons or converted to regular polygons using the 'Freeze' command. Additional enabling the render curves option will also make the resulting curves visible to the render engine.
The Stereolithography format is the language of 3D printers and CNC milling machines, commonly used with rapid prototyping and computer-aided manufacturing. STL format only describes the surface of the geometry, ignoring any shading or surfacing values. The STL I/O preference options allow you to define how unit values are interpreted and what format the resulting file is written in binary format (Save as ASCII option disabled), or in the ASCII text format (Save as ASCII option enabled).
Aegis VideoScape 3D was an early 3D rendering and modeling program on the Amiga (precursor to LightWave). You can both read and write geometry in this legacy format, though it is most useful for reading, as very few modern programs support the format.
