Turn Modo Indie viewport captures into polished render visuals with RENDERCAD.

Legacy Steam edition of Foundry Modo for indie 3D modeling and rendering workflows
Modo Indie users may be maintaining older Steam-based Modo scenes, game props, hard-surface models, UV tests, or portfolio assets even as projects move toward other 3D workflows. RENDERCAD fits when those .lxf scenes or viewport previews are readable but the presentation image still looks like a working DCC view: capture a clean Camera, Perspective, Advanced Viewport, or preview-render angle and turn it into a polished render-style still with clearer lighting, material separation, shadows, and context. Use it for project-transfer reviews, asset pitch images, portfolio refreshes, client notes, and marketing drafts without exporting source geometry or rebuilding the scene in another renderer.
Open the Modo Indie project, frame the model in a Camera, Perspective, Advanced Viewport, or render preview view, then hide extra guides and capture a clean screenshot. Upload that viewport image to RENDERCAD and describe the intended material, lighting, background, or product context. The result is a fast presentation pass for comparing surfacing ideas, showing legacy assets during migration, refreshing portfolio pieces, or creating client-review visuals while Modo Indie remains the modeling source.

It prevents context switching. You stay in your design flow, making rendering feel like just another tool in your CAD toolbar.
In Realistic mode, click the Reference button below your image to add a reference photo (like real carbon fiber). Add a text instruction describing how to use it, and the AI applies those material properties to your model.
Yes. Mask the high-touch areas (handles, buttons, edges) and apply the "Heavily Used" condition only to those regions while keeping the rest pristine.
Set up masks for each customizable component. Swap material references for each masked region to quickly visualize different product configurations.
Prompt for "Chrome" or "Silver Mirror." RENDERCAD will generate a reflected environment on the surface of your object.
Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing and let RENDERCAD handle the physics. The "Realistic" engine calculates realistic soft shadows based on your lighting prompt.
Upload your image or snip your exploded view. Use RENDERCAD video with "Gentle Orbit" to give depth to the floating components.
No. RENDERCAD works on any device with a browser. Upload an image or use the desktop snipping tool, and our external GPUs handle the rest.
Yes, the Render History page lets you browse and download any image or video you've generated.
Use the "Dirty" condition and prompt "Muddy tires" or "Construction dust."
Prompt "Translucent polycarbonate" or "Clear acrylic."
You eliminate the setup time. Instead of positioning lights and tweaking materials, you upload or snip an image, prompt, and wait roughly 20 seconds for the result.
