While MDD converters are around on Windows-based platforms (XSI and Messiah for example), they are few and far between on Macs except for Lightwave. To remedy this, I’ve created a little MDD Importer/Exporter plugin for Maxon Computer‘s excellent Cinema4D system. This cross platform plugin can be downloaded from my site:

ModoLogo.pngIt’s currently in Beta since I was not able to test against Modo301 (my request for a beta unit to test against was not responded to by Luxology), however it has been tested against both LW 9.2 and XSI on a PC and I am pleased to report it appears to work.  Also, one of the Modo 301 testers has tried a couple examples produced by this plugin, indicating that it should work on Modo301 when available.

A special thanks goes out to my Beta testers (you know who you are)!
