I’m sitting down (virtually) with Panayiotis Christophorou, discussing his short animated film “Invitation For Return”. The movie, for which the concept was created almost 30 years ago, is a metaphor for the tumultuous times seen by Cyprus in recent history. I found the project story fascinating, and I asked Panayiotis to share some glimpses from it with you, in an attempt to paint a picture of what it meant to create the short film that has been (probably) the longest time in development.
As you probably know, Modo has officially been discontinued, at version 17. You can read the official announcement made by Foundry here, and download your End Of Life License if you don’t have it already.
Deciding to discontinue a product after 21 years has undoubtedly been a difficult decision for Foundry. At the same time, we know some artists and studios are still working with Modo for the time being. As one of our core values is to always help our clients, we have decided to keep supporting Modo on RenderStreet for the time being. For technical reasons (v.17.1 doesn’t work correctly on Linux), the last available version on our farm is 17.0. We also have the older releases available, if your project has been created a while back and not upgraded.
Happy rendering!
The RenderStreet team
