- | ====== Modo ====== | ||
- | MODO is a closed source application from the Foundry. | ||
- | |||
- | It installs on Slackware the same way as on Red Hat or Ubuntu. | ||
- | |||
- | Download the installer. | ||
- | |||
- | Run the installer. The `--target` option is mandatory: | ||
- | |||
- | <code> | ||
- | $ su | ||
- | # mkdir /opt/modo | ||
- | # ./MODO_801_SP4_linux.run --target /opt/modo | ||
- | </code> | ||
- | |||
- | You must accept the EULA to proceed. | ||
- | ====Licensing==== | ||
- | |||
- | Foundry uses the `FountryLicenseUtility` (FLU) to register the application. Run FLU and point it to your license file: | ||
- | |||
- | <code> | ||
- | ./FoundryLicenseUtility -l $HOME/FoundryLicensing/foundry.lic | ||
- | </code> | ||
- | |||
- | There are various places you can place the Foundry License file: | ||
- | |||
- | * $HOME/FoundryLicensing/ | ||
- | * /usr/local/foundry/RLM/ | ||
- | * $HOME/FoundryLicensing/ ....directory not found, moving on. | ||
- | |||
- | Alternately, you or your organisation may use a licensing server. This can be reached after launching MODO. | ||

- | |||
- | ====Applications Menu==== | ||
- | Presumably because many studios have their artists launch applications from a shell, the MODO installer does not provide a launcher for the application menu. If you want one, create one in a text editor of your choice and save the file to `/usr/share/applications/modo.desktop`: | ||
- | |||
- | <code> | ||
- | [Desktop Entry] | ||
- | Encoding=UTF-8 | ||
- | Name=Modo | ||
- | GenericName=Modo | ||
- | Comment=Foundry Modo | ||
- | Exec=/opt/modo/modo | ||
- | MimeType= | ||
- | Icon=/opt/modo/resrc/icons/icon_128x128.png | ||
- | Path= | ||
- | TerminalOptions= | ||
- | Terminal=false | ||
- | Type=Application | ||
- | Categories=Graphics;3DGraphics; | ||
- | </code> | ||
- | |||
- | ====Alternatives==== | ||
- | |||
- | MODO is closed source. Unless you pay for a full license, it is illegal to use it for commercial purposes. A good open source alternative is [[blender|Blender]], which includes an extensive collection of plugins for sale and for free, and a wide variety of rendering options. |
