In this section you will find a set of resources that I use regularly in my work. Initially are were only kits for Modo but since later 2022 I also include some plugins and nodes for Substance 3D Designer. These kits are and will remain free to download.

Important note about versions and compatibility
Most of these kits contain so called “fire and forget” scripts (mostly Python and a few Perl). This means that Modo will use these scripts only when you actively “call” them inside the app. They are not “running” in the background. Therefore these scripts do not have to damage or harm Modo by the simple fact of being installed. In addition, most of them don’t have to stop working with the following versions of Modo (with some uncontrollable exception here and there)
In short: install and try without fear whatever your Modo version is. The worse what can happen with some of them is that they stop working, nothing more.
