"A pragmatic and often personal guide to using modo (and by extension, 3D software in general) to get the job done. This book is less about theory, and highly focused on results. Wes gently but firmly guides you through the process with a steady hand and insight borne from untold thousands of hours using the software. It's like having a modo buddy who takes the time to tell you what you really need to know to use the software effectively."
-Bob Bennett, Luxology
