New Features
Alembic I/O Improvements
Replicator Alembic Export Enhancements
Modo's replicator exporting workflow has been improved for better between Modo and other DCC applications, such as Katana and Houdini.
The Alembic I/O Preferences now includes an Export Replicas As option which allows you to specify the type of data to export. You can select whether to export Alembic replicas as Geometry, Particles, or both Particles and Geometry.
Camera Improvements
Background and Foreground Images
The Camera View properties have been updated to include an Enable option for both the Foreground and Background images. When toggled off, the image is not displayed in your rendering, but remains in your scene.
Framing Regions Improvements
A new option, Show Camera Framing Region, has been added to toggle the visibility of the camera framing regions the 3D Viewport.
Cloud Asset Browser
Using the Cloud Asset Browser
Modo Share Site Presets and some Modo Kits are now stored in the cloud on a shared-site for easy access. These presets are organized and categorized for quick visual browsing. You can select which presets you would like to work with and download them onto your local drive. Simply double-click on the desired preset or kit in the Cloud Asset folder and it is installed onto your local system.
Direct Modeling Improvements
Polygon Bevel Improvements
The Polygon Bevel tool has a number of new options to improve your workflow. The following options have been added:
• Square Corner - Adds quadrangles at each sharp corner of the boundary polygons. When Group Polygons is enabled, quadrangles are created at the corner vertices connected to the selected polygon(s).
• Offset Even - Makes the distance of the inserted face even. This option is enabled by default. When this option is disabled, the edge length between source vertex to the new source vertex is same as set Inset value.
• Edge Rail - This option works with the Group Polygons option. When this option is enabled, the new vertex from the source vertex is created along an inner edge, which is connected to the contour source vertex. If there are multiple inner edges, the most perpendicular to the contour edge is selected.
• Thicken - Adds flipped copies of the source polygons to add thickness to the operation.
Edge Bevel Improvements
The Edge Bevel tool has been updated to improve your workflow when working with faceted polygons. The following options have been added:
• Mitering Offset - With Edge Shape set to Round and Mitering Offset enabled, this option creates extra co-planar polygons beside the outer edges of your mesh to smooth artifacts on connecting polygons.
• Maintain Co-Planar Edges - Fixes co-planar edge errors when you are detailing faceted polygons from roughed out shapes. When this option is enabled, the unselected co-planar edges merge with the next unselected sharp edge, creating an even surface.
Snapping Improvements
To improve your workflow when snapping geometry in heavy meshes, we have updated the Geometry Snapping tool to include a new option called Only Selected. When enabled, geometry snapping finds the element to be snapped to from the selected polygons of the Foreground.
File I/O Updates
FBX 2017 / FBX 2018 Plug-in
Autodesk FBX 2017 and Autodesk FBX 2018 import and export support has been added.
Item Handling Improvements
Channel Hauling Improvements
The Channel Haul tool has been updated to automatically display user channels in the 3D Viewport.
MeshFusion Improvements
Edge Weighting Support
A new Edge Weighting option has been added to the Fusion Item properties, which simulates Catmull-Clark edge-weighting by internally adding edge loops to the source meshes.
Performance Improvements
A new Draft Unions option has been added to the Fusion Item properties to improve performance while working on a model. You can now automatically and adaptively split the Fusion Item into active and inactive parts.
Item Based Material Groups
A new Mesh Mode option has been added to the Fusion Item properties to improve performance. You can specify the mesh type for the 3D viewport display and output. The following options have been added:
• Draft - Best Performance - Recommended for full performance optimization. This option is not recommended for Output (Strips and Surfaces are not unified).
• Airtight Draft - Sets to the minimum airtight properties. Strips and surfaces are unified but no further refinement or optimization of the mesh is performed. This option may be slightly faster than other airtight mesh modes.
• Airtight Final - Uses properties to produce the best topology output. Strips and surfaces are unified. Closely spaced vertices are merged. Pairs of tri-polygons are converted to quads where possible. No Selection Sets, Parts, or Material groups are created.
• Airtight Final w/Parts - Uses the same mesh topology properties as Airtight Final and creates polygon Selection Sets, Parts, and Material groups.
• Airtight Final Item Parts - Creates the same mesh topology as the Airtight Final mode. Like Airtight Final w/Parts, this option creates polygon Selection Sets, Parts, and Material Groups.
RibTrim and ElboPipe Assemblies
Modo now provides two new procedural MeshFusion Assemblies, which allows you to work with simple geometries and familiar direct modeling workflows and tools. The following assemblies have been added to this release:
• ElboPipe - Creates piping consisting of straight segments and relatively short bends (with optional elbow joint geometry at the bends). Use the Pen Extrude Mesh Operation to create your ElboPipe curves. You can create a path as a polyline to create elbows around the geometry. As a result, the geometry is automatically added at each vertex of the polyline.
• RibTrim - Automates the creation of frame, rib, and tile structures. This assembly creates patterns of edge looped blocks that may be used as Fusion Trims or Mesh Roles and Relationships. The blocks are aligned to selected geometry using a procedural UV Transform and/or a procedural Deformer- You can create and edit patterns as simple 2D meshes by creating planes with an arbitrary arrangement of polygons.
Fusion Pie Menu and Drag and Drop
Both the MeshFusion pie menus and drag-and-drop modifier keys have been updated to improve your workflow when working with MeshFusion Items. Some older, outdated, pie menus options have been removed along with others that were not often used. In addition, we have added ability to use modifier key shortcuts with drag-and-drop workflows.
Performance Improvements
Weight Editing
The workflow for editing weight values while manipulating deformed rigging characters has been improved. The performance speed for the Weighting Tools, Adjust Weights option, now only updates cached elements when you are changing a sub-set of points, such as an arm or finger on a larger character. Performance gains are significant when working with smaller selection sets.
Preferences Improvements
Paint Foreground Color Preference
A new preference, Default Foreground Color has been added, which allows you to change the default paint color of the foreground while working in the Paint layout. The default value is White.
Procedural Modeling Improvements
Select by Previous Operation
The Slice, Axis Slice, Axis Drill, Solid Drill, Boolean, and Curve Slice Mesh Operations now support Select by Previous Operation.
Text Tool
The performance of the Text tool has been improved. The Make UVs option is now disabled by default.
Set Polygon Type
A new Set Polygon Type tool has been added as a procedural Mesh Operation, which allows you to convert polygon types at any point during your design workflow. You can convert polygons into Faces, Subdivision surfaces or Catmull-Clark polygons.
Flip Polygons
To improve your workflow, we have added the Flip Polygons tool, which enables you to quickly reverse the normals of polygons.
Select by Polygon Tag
A new procedural Mesh Operation, Select by Polygon Tag, has been added, which allows you to select polygons based on a polygon tag, such as Material, Part, or Selection Set.
Rendering Improvements
True Fresnel Improvements
The 3D Viewport specular and reflection display response has been improved when using an Index of Refraction.
Principled BRDF Shader Model
Modo now contains a new shader model called Principled, which is based on the paper from Brent Burley of Walt Disney Animation Studios.
Scene Improvements
Scene Cleanup
Modo now allows you to remove empty mesh items, empty groups, and unused items from your current scene.
LRL images
Modo now allows you to create and share assets containing embedded URLs from your Preset Browser.
UI Improvements
Morph in Vertex Normal Tools
The 3D Viewport properties have been updated to include new Morphed Mesh Drawing options. The following options have been added:
• Vector - Draws line segments from the vertices of the base mesh to the corresponding vertices of the morph mesh.
• Vector Color - Specifies the color of the vector lines.
• Vector Opacity - Specifies the opacity value of the vector lines.
In addition, the Vertex Map Tools has a new option, Enable Morphs (Current Viewport), which displays the results of animated morphs in the 3D Viewport.
Unreal Bridge Plug-in Improvements
A number of changes to our Modo Bridge plug-in have been made to improve the workflow for Game Engine users. A more consistent workflow between Unreal and Modo has been implemented allowing you to work in multiple scenes seamlessly. The Push interface is simplified and the progress bar is improved for our Modo Bridge plug-in and the Unreal Client. In addition, we have added the following Application preferences:
• Search Subfolder - Toggles whether to search into subfolders to find the assets to push to the Unreal Editor.
• Actor Identification - Defines how to find the same actors in the Unreal client.
• Asset Naming - Defines how assets are named in the Unreal Editor.
Reset Mesh Asset
A new push option, Reset Mesh Asset, has been added to the Modo Bridge plug-in. Modo now distinguishes the difference between a mesh actor from a mesh asset. An Unreal mesh actor is always a Modo instance item and an Unreal mesh asset is always a Modo mesh item.
UV Improvements
Show Flipped UV in the UV Viewport
A new UV Viewport option, Show Flipped, has been added to display the orientation of your UV islands.
Select Unmapped Polygons Tool
A new Select Unmapped Polygons tool has been added to help you locate polygons that do not have UVs in a given UV map.
Show UV Distortion in the 3D Viewport
A new Show UV Distortion option has been added to toggle the display of overlay colors that show the distortion of the UVs on the 3D model.
Select Error UVs
The Select Overlapped Polygons tool has been renamed Select Error UVs and the following options have been added:
• Stacked - Selects identical UV polygons that are located at the same location in UV space.
• Crossing UDIM Borders - Detects UVs crossing UDIM borders.
• Zero Area - Selects shrunken polygons in the UV space. These are shrunken to the line or point with a zero area size.
Create UV Tool Improvements
The Create UV Map Mesh Operation now has a Create New Map check box below the UV Map text field, to allow a new UV map to be created using the name specified.
Select Items in the UV Viewport
You can now select individual UV maps in the UV viewport and in the UV Editor using paint selection and lasso selection while in Items selection mode.
Texel Density Tools
The Texel Density tool has been updated for this release to include the following options:
• World Space- Accounts for the item transforms when calculating the 3D sizes. The scaled items can have their texel densities match to unscaled or differently scaled items.
• Sample Texel Density - Creates a target density sample from the selected UV Islands.
• Apply Individually - Scales each selected UV Island so that its average texel density matches the target.
• Apply Overall - Scales all selected UV Islands so that its overall average texel density matches the target.
• Normalize UVs - Scales all the selected UV islands, such that their texel density is the same as their total average.
Quick Island Align
To improve your workflow when working with UV Maps, Modo now contains additional UV Align tools. These tools allow you to reposition UV Islands easily.
Island Stacker
To improve your workflow when working with UV Maps, Modo now contains Island Stacker tools.
Foreground/Background Coverage Indicator
To improve your workflow when working on UV maps, we have improved the UV coverage indicator in the UV Viewport. It now displays a percentage value representing the amount of uniform UV space and the geometry in the UV coverage region.
Viewport Improvements
Render Pass Overlay
You can now quickly identify which render pass you are currently working on. The 3D Information Overlays, in the bottom right corner of the 3D Viewport, now displays the name of the selected Pass Groups item and the selected Passes item.
GL Playblast
A new Playblast tool has been added, which allows you to generate a quick preview of your animation. Generating a Playblast output provides you with a realistic idea of your final render results without requiring the time needed for a formal render. You can use this feature to quickly check for character, props, and lighting positioning in your scene.
Group Mask Texture Layers
The 3D Viewport Advanced style has been improved. Modo now supports group mask texture layers for the Advanced viewport style. The display output results look fairly similar to Render Preview output results.
Planar Mapping
You can now set the type of projection mapping for the Front Culling option in the Channels tab. The following options are available:
• Project Through - Projects the texture image onto the back face of the mesh, along negative Z direction, and is mirrored to appear the same as the front face image.
• Cull Backfacing - Projects the texture image only on the front of the mesh.
• Flip Backfacing - Projects and flips a texture image on the back of the mesh along the U and V directions. It appears upside-down.
• Flip U Backfacing - Projects the texture image on a back face of the mesh, flipped along U direction, and it is oriented the same way as front face.
• Flip V Backfacing - Projects the texture image on a back face of the mesh, flipped along V direction, and it is oriented the same way as front face.
Item Selection Highlighting
A new 3D Viewport Selected Item Drawing option has been added. You can now select None to view selected items in your scene in a fill color and the unselected items in wireframes.

Known Issues and Workarounds Specific to Modo 11.2
This section covers known issues and gives workarounds for them, where appropriate.
Advanced Viewport
• ID 56706 - Unity and Unreal materials are not displayed correctly when first loaded.
As a workaround: Enable and then disable the visibility of the Shader Tree textures.
• ID 55594 - Wireframe is missing from orthographic views.
As a workaround: Change Line Antialiasing from Full to either Off or System.
• ID 50810 - Anisotropic texture filtering is lower quality than in the Default viewport.
• ID 46995 - Ambient Occlusion display in the Advanced viewport is affected by selected item wireframes.
You can disable Show Selection in the Visibility options or disable wireframe drawing on the active mesh layers.
Animation
• ID 53661 - Selecting actions does not always select the correct one. This is caused by copying actions.
As a workaround, manually edit the tags on the broken actions by selecting them in the Groups tab, then save and reload the scene.
Assemblies
• ID 36452 - Assemblies exported from the Item List context menu result in poor visual layout of nodes on import.
As a workaround, you can save assemblies from the Schematic viewport.
Baking
• ID 50671 - Baking displacement maps can cause UV seams to be visible, and the baked displacement map to show quilting effects and other render artifacts.
• ID 49437 - The Bake Channel Swizzling option can’t bake to texture alpha.
Color Management
• ID 49244 - (Windows only): With Perform Color Correction on, setting a default scene to a scene with a mesh that has a position channel crashes Modo at launch.
As a workaround, use System > Reset Preferences to reset to defaults or move/remove the default scene.
Default Viewport
• RGBA textures only draw correctly in the Advanced viewport. In the Default viewport, any unsupported texture effect on an image map is drawn as diffuse color when the layer is selected in the Shader Tree.
Deformers
• ID 56726 - Deformed Instances that are off-screen are incorrectly drawn at the origin.
• ID 55470 - Freezing a mesh with normalized deformers and a Mesh Op caused Modo to crash.
File and Image I/O
• ID 56862 - Modo for SolidWorks Kit: Modo crashes when importing the same SolidWorks file twice in one Modo session. This bug only affects import using the kit, not direct imports (File > Import).
As a workaround: Before importing a SolidWorks file for the second time, exit and restart Modo.
• ID 55439 - Alembic imported convex polygons with at least two close to co-linear edges may not draw correctly in GL (appearing as missing triangles).
As a workaround: Import using the new Alembic Streaming options. Set the Polymesh streaming options to Alembic Streaming Meshes (polys only, force all). Alternatively, select the base material in the Shader Tree and enable Surface Normal > Double-sided, then change the Smoothing angle to 180.
• ID 50198 - Alembic scenes don't export some surface items, including static meshes and procedural shatter items.
• ID 49728 - Exporting selected layers (from the Item List context menu) to .fbx doesn't export instances, unless the original mesh is also exported.
To resolve this, set the .fbx preference to Export Selection and use Export As….
• ID 47036 - Color management in .svg images is not currently supported. This is a side-effect of a bug fix where the largest allowable image size (64k x 64k) was always used when color correction was enabled.
• ID 46962 - Rendering .svg images used as stencil maps for displacement or for layer masking can be very slow.
Fur
• ID 35731 - Fur length textures can’t be edited with the Stretch tool.
Use different fur length drivers, such as hair guides or vector vertex maps.
General
• ID 49514 - Mac OS X only: Running modo_cl before running the UI Modo application breaks code signing.
As a workaround, start the UI version of Modo once, before running modo_cl on any system where you later intend to use the UI version.
GL
• ID 55816 - Wireframes are washed out on transparent surfaces in the Advanced viewport.
As a workaround, avoid transparency when modeling or doing work where wireframes are needed. Alternatively, use the Default viewport.
• ID 55746 - Moving the mouse over a procedural mesh, when Animation > Enable Deformers is off, may cause Modo to crash.
• ID 55594 - Wireframe overlay is missing in orthographic views if Line Antialiasing is set to Full in the Advanced viewport.
As a workaround, use the Line Antialiasing > System or Off option instead.
• ID 55500 - Setting the Advanced viewport Effects > Material option to Basic displays Unreal materials as white.
As a workaround, use Simple mode.
• ID 55145 - Default viewport lights are not casting shadows in the Advanced Viewport.
• ID 54456 - GL count is incorrect in certain circumstances, including when meshes are displayed in wireframe mode or when displaying replicas.
• Windows only: Using Raptr can cause GL driver crashes in Modo.
Input Devices
• ID 51741 - Mac OS X only: Modo sometimes becomes unresponsive when using the combination of a click-drag in a tree view (for example, when toggling the visibility of two successive items in the Shader Tree), followed immediately by a two-finger scroll gesture on some devices, including laptop trackpads and the Magic Mouse.
As a workaround, change to a 3-button mouse (recommended to fully access all of Modo's features).
• ID 35856 - Linux only: Plugging in a Wacom tablet while Modo is running can cause undesired movement. This cannot be fixed, due to a limitation of the hardware driver.
To avoid this, plug in the tablet before application startup or restart.
Item List
• ID 53209 - Group creation (Ctrl + G) places the new group folder at a random position in the Item List, if the items are not selected in a top down sequence.
As a workaround, select the items being grouped from top to bottom in the Item List before grouping (Ctrl + G).
MeshFusion
• ID Bug 56973 - If a Trim Fusion role is assigned to an object and then it is dragged and dropped onto a Primary, the drop menu does not contain the Trim boolean options.
As a workaround, use either the Fusion Buttons (Tool palette - Set Mesh Role & Apply section) or Pie Menu (Apply SubtractionApply Intersection or ) when initially adding Trims to each Fusion Item (Trims can contribute to multiple Fusion Items). If initially applied with either of those methods, all subsequent Drag & Drop options will be supported.
Modeling
• ID Bug 55857 - Using the Model layout Toolbox Basic subtab Center Selected option on a polygon selection, with multiple mesh layers selected, doesn’t center to the origin.
As a workaround, select only one mesh layer at a time or put all geometry in one layer.
• ID 55842 - Using the Tack tool, with Align, Copy Geometry, and Make Bridge options enabled may cause Modo to crash.
• ID 32728 - Zooming out with a Space Navigator alters the Work Plane position.
Network Rendering
• ID 48325 - Scenes with image sequences rendered with Full Frames use the wrong image sequence number on worker machines.
As a workaround, use File > Consolidate Scene, then render the scene using a shared network folder (Preferences option under Rendering > Network Rendering).
• ID 36986 - Workers render hidden meshes. Since mesh hide state is not stored in the scene, when that scene is transferred to the workers, the state is lost. The master respects the hidden state, however.
As a workaround, if the intent is to avoid rendering, toggle the visibility for the item or render or open System > Preferences > Rendering and disable Use Network Render Nodes.
• ID 30318 - Network Rendering doesn’t support Realflow particles.
• ID 25636 - Frame passes are not supported.
• Several Bugs - While it apparently worked in Modo 902, in some cases, Network Rendering was not implemented to support baking. Changes to Modo in the 10-series apparently broke what was working for some artists, so the functionality has been disabled.
As a workaround, Modo 10 implemented the ability to Network Bake using Bake Items and an external render controller. For more information, please see the SDK Wiki.
Node Shading
• ID 50642 - Nodal shading does not support UDIMs.
Painting/Sculpting
• ID 41682 - Textures are not always updating in Preview/Render when painting on an image map.
You can save and reload the image to force the update.
Particles
• ID 44551 - Surface Particle Generators may not update with changes to a Density Gradient Input set to Slope.
As a workaround, choose Distance to Locator or any other setting from the Density Gradient Input dropdown, then change it back to Slope.
• ID 34925 - Re-opening scenes saved with large particle caches can cause problems.
To avoid such issues, delete the cache before closing Modo, or export the particles to .csv cache files or Realflow .bin files. You can do this by attaching one of those nodes to the Particle Simulation item in the Schematic viewport, and clicking Cache Simulation.
Preset Browser
• ID 55882 - Pinning the Viewport Textures preset browser crashes Modo on restart.
As a workaround, run Modo in Safe Mode and select System > Reset Preferences or manually delete the main config file.
Presets
• ID Bug 55867 - Dragging and dropping a preset material into a material group places the preset above the Base Material, not in the group.
As a workaround, move the preset material group after dragging and dropping it.
Preview
• ID 55901 - Preview is rendering images with the wrong color space for non EXR images.
• ID 55646 - The Camera can’t be edited in Preview if any of its channels are locked.
• If a high poly mesh is not visible, the Preview baking output will be incorrect.
As a workaround, reset Preview to fix the baking.
Procedurals
• ID 56908 - Merge Meshes can corrupt UVs created in Mesh Ops.
• ID 56318 - Procedural duplication of Mesh Ops in a Deform folder creates errant Mesh Ops list.
• ID 56317- Duplication of Procedurals does not work with the Select By Previous Operation tool.
As a workaround, manually edit the duplicate's Select By Previous Operation Mesh Ops.
• ID 54738 - A duplication of any item that is a Merge Meshes Source (For example, a Mesh Item, Procedural Item, or Fusion Item), any duplicates (duplicate or instance) are added to the Merge Meshes Ops List as a source.
As a workaround, remove the unwanted additional Merge Mesh Sources (regardless of the type of source) in the Mesh Ops List using the X icon in that list next to each Merge Meshes source.
• ID 52149 - Curve Extrude mesh operation: The Path Segment Generator's Align to Normal option doesn't work when using a Bezier with zero-length tangents.
As a workaround, rotate the polygons to point toward the +Z before extruding or make sure there are no zero-length tangents.
• ID 49767 - Scenes, which contain a UV constraint modifier driving texture properties, may fail to load after saving, due to a modifier dependency loop.
• ID 46512 - When rigged, Rock items and other procedurals do not display correctly in GL. This is a limitation of the feature and will not be fixed.
You can use Preview or RayGL to visualize the variations from rigging.
Projections
• ID 49473 - Projections are incorrect if the projecting camera is set to Vertical film fit mode and the width is less than the height.
• ID 43771 - Camera projections from non-render cameras show distortion in GL and baking.
To avoid this, make sure that the projection camera has a film width-to-height ratio that matches the main render camera.
References
• ID 44492 - If a scene that already contains references is referenced, the shading of the original references may not persist.
As a workaround, limit scenes with shading to one level of reference.
• ID 41119 - Reloading a reference after replacing it with the same file can cause Modo to crash.
Rendering
• ID 56874 - Polygon artifacts when using a bump texture, are more pronounced when using the new Per-Ray Fresnel feature in Modo 11.2v1.
As a workaround: The effect can be reduced by increasing the size of the bump texture, reducing the bump amplitude, or enabling AA on the bump texture.
• ID 56620 - Modo crashes when closing a scene containing a referenced scene after attempting to revert a reference override.
As a workaround: First close and reopen the scene before attempting to revert the reference.
• ID 56585 - The Render Current View command, with Preview running, may cause an error.
As a workaround: Pause Preview before rendering.
• ID Bug 55787 - The Scratches procedural texture may produce NaNs in the Preview viewport and Render Display.
• ID Bug 55663 - Motion Blur applied on a curve in a Mesh Operation no longer works.
• ID Bug 55262 - Displacement combined with normal maps renders incorrectly.
As a workaround, enable the Displacement as Bump option in the Render Item Settings or render using Preview.
• ID 53411 - Mesh lights or any direct light too close to a surface can produce fireflies (hot pixels) in some cases.
As a workaround, use a Maximum Radiance higher than 1 W/srm2 to reduce the bias.
• ID 53184 - Value presets created for material Subsurface Scattering samples in Modo 10.1 or earlier now show on the render item instead.
• ID 52730 - The Vertex Illumination Bake command doesn't work as expected, when the mesh has transform channels.
As a workaround, freeze the transforms in the mesh properties.
• ID 52011 - Tangent Basis handles Mirror UVs incorrectly.
As a workaround, apply Mikk or any other tangent space basis to the mesh before baking.
Rigging
• ID 55059 - Binding can’t be used multiple times in Setup mode.
As a workaround, exit and re-enter Setup mode.
• ID 27244 - Duplicating joints in a bound mesh retains influences from the original joint chain.
Schematic
• ID 55859 - Dragging and dropping a Texture Locator, Camera, or Light from the Shader Tree into Schematic viewport doesn’t work.
As a workaround, with the item selected, click the Add Selected button in the Schematic viewport.
Scripting
• ID 53458 - Right-clicking or running a script in the Script Editor can lock up input to Modo.
As a workaround, click in the top window of the Script Editor, use the main menus, or change to another application, then switch back to Modo.
• ID 55138 - Modo crashes when undoing a script which uses removeItems.
Sculpt
• ID 55897 - Specular and shadows in the Default viewport stops showing when sculpting on a displacement image.
As a workaround, use another viewport mode such as Advanced or Reflection, or apply a Matcap shader to the Shader Tree.
Shader Tree
• ID 37858 - In the Shader Tree, choosing a group from Add Layer > Image Map > (use clip browser) fails.
To work around this issue, in the Clip Browser, choose a single image instead of the group, and then change to the image group using the Texture Layer's Properties tab.
• ID 30947 - Layer masking displacement does not work unless you drag and drop the masking layer onto the displacement layer.
Topology
• ID 55887 - In Remove mode, the Topology Pen doesn’t remove edges created by the Split mode but instead removes the underlying polygon.
Unreal and Unity Materials
• ID 50701 - Unreal material Ambient Occlusion does not bake correctly in Modo.
• ID 50700 - There is no way to visualize the Unreal SubSurface Color effect in Modo.
• ID 50451 - On some graphics cards, Unity material may cause flickering in the Advanced viewport when used with bump maps and shadows.
UI
• ID 55759 - Transforming objects can cause the Items Properties panel to flicker.
• ID 55702 - Mac OS X only: Saving layouts on certain multi-display configurations caused Modo to crash.
As a workaround, having your primary display as the left-most, may prevent this.
• ID 55571 - Resizing the dopesheet in Zen crashes Modo 11.1, but not in Modo 11.0.
• ID 55185 - Text in the viewport icon buttons is not visible in the Advanced viewport on some Mac OS/AMD configurations.
As a workaround: Upgrade Mac OS to 10.12 or 10.13.
• ID 44496 - Mac OS X only: Disabling Affect System Color Dialog in Preferences > Rendering > Color Management, and using the system color picker caused colors to darken with each use of the color picker.
This is due to an OS X issue, which requires the color profile in both the monitor settings and color picker to be set to sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
• ID 44896 - Dragging and dropping an image from disk into the Clips list doesn’t work.
If the Clips list is empty, drop the image onto the bar at the top, otherwise drop it above or below other images in the list.
• ID 43162 (Windows only) -Setting a custom text size affects Modo's text drawing.
As a workaround, go to the compatibility settings by right-clicking the Modo shortcut or executable, and turn off font-scaling for the application.
UV
• ID 56967 - If UV distortion is enabled in both the UV and 3D viewport, editing the mesh in the 3D view causes the UVs to turn black.
As a workaround: Toggle the UV texture visibility or avoid enabling Show Distortion on in both views.
• ID 55891 - Show UDIM does not display the UDIM number in the UV viewport.
As a workaround, enable the Auto Spans option.
• ID 55582 - The Tear-off modifier keys (Shift+ Ctrl) are live in the UV Transform tool, meaning the Tear-off state changes during the drag if the keys aren’t held down.
• ID 55564 - The UV Distortion and UV Vertex maps are no longer accessible. This is due to bugs and crashes with these ‘internal’ maps being visible to users. Modo 11.2 will introduce features to replace prior uses of these maps.
Developer Notes
• ID 53988 - SDK: The item.channel query didn't read evaluated strings correctly.
• ID 55473 - SDK: A reference scene loaded twice did not return geometry in CLxSurfaceVisitor.Sample().
• ID 55749 - SDK: Viewing graph for a plugin's alpha channel, if no keys were set, caused Modo to crash.
• ID 56467 - SDK: Reading an item graphs in a command's enable function sometimes caused Modo to crash if the scene changed.
• ID 56697 - SDK: Rendercache crashed Modo when closing the scene.
