MOI has been offically released!!

Moment of Inspiration
3D Modeling for Designers and Artists.
Powerful, accurate, yet easy to use!

MoI’s sleek intuitive UI blends a fluid easy workflow with powerful tools, making it the perfect choice for someone who has been frustrated with the complexity of existing CAD tools.

MoI is also a fantastic complementary tool for a polygon-based artist since its CAD toolset and advanced boolean functions enable extremely rapid creation of mechanical or man-made type “hard surface” models. The icing on the cake is MoI’s unique polygon mesh export that generates exceptionally clean and crisp N-Gon polygon meshes from CAD NURBS models.

MoI version 1.0 has been released! US $195

MoI, 3D Modeling for Designers and Artists

I've followed it's development since the creator started posting this on the SILO forums and he's done an excellent job. But then again you'd expect no less from one of the key programmers of the Rhino NURBS package.

It'll be an excellent add on for anyone who does hard surface model building, because it has a nicely robust polygon converter.

It does look pretty cool... Too bad there isn't a Mac version at this time...

I didn't realize that he created rhino also. I guess that puts a little more credibility behind the product!

Did you buy it chrono?

I liked it when I tried it. But I found it was getting really annoying waiting for it to preform certain operations. Im glad I was able to try it, but I wouldn't buy it. I found it too difficult to do detail with.

might be worth checking out simply because LW doesn't have nurbs

who needs nurbs when you have Sub-d..

No, don't have the money right now. Besides I had alot of problems wrapping my head around the CAD work structure. I've used NURBS before under TS and they were much easier to use (even though they crashed harder than an OD'ed drug user).


al3d, I thought the same thing once, but I'm starting to get tired of adjusting multiple verts/edges to adjust a curve or curved surface and being forced to do things in a specific ways to get good surfaces. Like I said it's a good 'add-on'.

^yeah that's just the way I thought about it, sure you can do everything with sub-d, but if you can't be arsed to spend so much time getting your sub-d poly flow perfect then you might like a go with nurbs, at least this way you don't have to learn a whole new package
