What are Modo Addons?
Modo Addons include both kits and plug-ins.
Modo kits are productivity-enhancing packages that combine scripts, streamlined UI, plug-ins, learning materials and content to accelerate certain task-specific workflows.
Modo plug-ins generally offer completely new functionality that extends the capabilities of the core technology of Modo. Modo plug-ins are usually created by third-party developers who specialize in a particular discipline.
Modo Addons are created by both Foundry and by third-party developers.

Will all the current Addons and training series work with Modo 16.0?
Most Addons and training were tested with Modo 16.0 and should work fine with the (default) Python 2 interpreter in Modo. Some Addons are not yet updated for use with Python 3, but will be before Python 3 is made the default interpreter in Modo 16.1. At that time, we will update the web pages for individual kits or plug-ins that are found to be incompatible or are no longer supported. You can find the Modo Addons
