List & Info Viewports

List and Info Viewports

The List and Info viewports provide an intuitive way for you to select, arrange, and group the various elements that make up a scene. Outside of simply selecting items, viewports, such as the Item List, provide important functions for setting up hierarchies for animation. The Shader Tree is the necessary component for assigning surfacing attributes.

List and Info Viewports
Item List	The Item List has a number of functions, including listing all of the locator-type items within your project, as well as allowing you to create, edit, and organize the various item layers.
Shader Tree	The Shader Tree is the main interface for adding materials and textures to surfaces in your scene.
Vertex Map List	The Vertex Map List shows Vertex Maps for the current mesh in groups: UV, Weight, Morph, and Other.
Channels Viewport	The Channel viewport shows all channels of any item and provides a direct method for selecting channels, as well as creating, navigating, and managing any keyframes on those channels.
Clips List	The Clip List (also referred to as the Image List) viewport provides direct access to all images loaded into Modo, organized by scene.
Clip Browser	The Clip Browser allows you to view and select images loaded into Modo, for use in a variety of situations. When re-using images that have been loaded into Modo, you can browse through them all in this viewport.
Properties Panel	The Properties viewport is basically an empty frame until an item or tool is selected but, once a tool is selected, all the editable attributes related to that item are listed in the panel. You can then make changes to the options available and, if applicable, see them update in the viewport or render previews.
Info and Statistics	The Info and Statistics viewport provides information about the currently-selected or active geometry in the scene. It also provides powerful selection and precise editing functionality.
Command History	Modo keeps a listing of every command used during a session in the Command History viewport. This view is useful for quick undo and redo operations, managing macros, assigning keyboard shortcuts to specific commands, and other utility functions.
