anyone using Moi?

Neil Larsen Mar 22, 2009 2:13 AM

Is anyone making use of Moi for surfacing work? ID stuff? and in conjunction with SW

I downloaded a trial and some doodles I made and saved as .3dm, .ai and .igs seemed to import very well...

apparently v2 will be out soon - I was considering purchasing it for conceptual purposes
There is something charming about the shapes it makes I think and it seems like a nice program to use but maybe a little limited ATM.

Any thoughts appreciated

BTW If anyone is using Free Dimension would like to hear as well - it seems to have died out judging by their website and forum

Of course its limited.
- But then as a SW-user what have you got to loose ?
You can allways take the base shape into SW and continue.
Also SW makes it rather easy to update a 3dm file.
( you do have to repair downstream features ).

If you like what MOI does then go for it .
The main charm for concepting probably lies in quick 3D sketching
- without setting up planes etc.

If you get used to this way of surfacing - you may start to long for something
more capable.
Especially higher order splines and surfaces come to mind.

  well I removed the trial today
  
  it was too limiting...esp lofts options and lack of variable fillets.. and believe it or not the interface began to annoy me..
  
  it wasnt what I was looking for...
  
  maybe in the future ...v3-4.. but then it is getting $$ for a conceptual tool..
