End of Sales and Special Price for CharacterBox

We thank you for your continued use of PSOFT products.

Foundry recently announced they would wind down development of Modo. Accordingly, we regret to inform you that we will discontinue the sale of "CharacterBox for Modo" at the end of March 2025.

The current version will be the final version and there will be no further updates or maintenance. However, please be assured that users who own the product will remain able to download and authorize it from the User Page even after sales have ended.

For a limited time until the end of sales, we will offer the product at a special price. "CharacterBox for Modo" is a modular rigging plugin that streamlines the production of character animation. Please take advantage of this opportunity (until the end of March 2025).

The development team would like to express their gratitude for your continued support. We look forward to your continued patronage.

Message of thanks from the development team

CharacterBox is a product that we have developed with enthusiasm over many years for Modo, which was a new platform for us at the time. Like many Modo users, we are very sorry to hear that Modo development is ending.

While the end of Modo development has been announced, it may not be easy for everyone to actually switch to another 3D software immediately. Therefore, to support work in Modo during the transition period, we will offer CharacterBox at a special price for a limited time until we stop selling it. CharacterBox, which works like a native Modo feature, may continue to be useful in your work during the software transition period.

We hope that CharacterBox can be of some help to your creative projects. Finally, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the users who have supported CharacterBox.
