Modo-Me, The Modo action centers and (more) and your Modo to Blender companion

Thanks! I don’t think I could live without this add-on.

Brief                   

Modo-Me add-on tries to mimic some of the interface elements and functionalities from Modo in Blender.

At the moment the main goal is to get the Modo action centers to be represented reasonably in Blender 2.79 (soon 2.8) via an accessible menu.

Since these two applications work with different concepts in many levels, it is not fully possible to match all such functionalities one to one, however, it is possible to replicate some of the Modo's loved usability ideas to Blender.

I’m very very happy with all your addons, they all deliver much more than I expected and are of far greater value than their price

* You want to have a more organized way of setting transformation centers and axis.

* You are just curious to see why people brag about action centers and you do not want to spend  lot of money on Modo to find it out
