![]() ![]() Between using the product and some suggestions from fellow senior ILM supervisor Kim Libreri (currently on the revolutionary game Star Wars: 1313), it occurred to Knoll that Luxology and The Foundry would be a good fit, and that modo could benefit from The Foundry’s key understanding of workflow. John Knoll, Senior Visual Effects supervisor at ILM (Knoll is an Oscar winner whose films include but are not limited to Pacific Rim, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Avatar, Pirates of the Caribbean I, II, III, and Star Wars I,II,III etc) has used modo since version 201. ![]() ![]() Stay tuned for an exclusive fxguidetv episode on the merger too. In this article we talk to key members of the The Foundry and Luxology teams about what’s next, plus a group of VFX and industry on their thoughts of the merger. Luxology is known for a nearly heroic devotion to artists, and The Foundry is one of the most successful companies in the world at complex workflow pipelines that can handle anything anyone can throw at them. Modo is very accessible 3D, while Nuke dominates the high end feature film 2D compositing market. The combined portfolio will open doors to new ways of working, providing artists and designers with increased creative choice, yet they only share about 10% of common customers. The two companies are a very interesting fit in terms of technology and markets. The Foundry (Nuke, Mari, Katana) today announced it has merged with Luxology (Modo).
