9B Studios posts a tutorial on Modo’s ability to recreate a physical Pinhole Camera Effect much like a real pinhole camera would behave in real life. 9B Studios creates this Camera Obscura effect in Modo using geometry and portals that bring light rays in that project a flipped version on the scene on the back of the pinhole camera box.

This represents a unique ability to Modo, I haven’t really seen other 3D software packages that can reproduce this reverse projected pinhole camera effect shown the way here like Modo can… Then again, for me that is par for the course and nothing new when it comes to discovering Luxology Modo features.
