Hi Leonard, yeah unfortunately these terms can carry a lot of connotations along with them.

MoI is definitely focused on an accurate type of modeling toolset.

I guess I have a pretty liberal definition of "Artist" - from my perspective I think that there are plenty of people doing "artisan" type work who also need to incorporate precision and accuracy into what they are doing as well...


re: "Technical" - I guess what I'm trying to describe there is that existing solid modeling tools, stuff like SolidWorks, Pro/E, etc... are pretty focused to be used by people who have a background and training in Mechanical Engineering.

In a certain sense, I'm kind of trying to take that same basic kind of solid modeling toolset (which is a great way of making a whole broad category of man-made type shapes), but make that available to people who want to create stuff ("create stuff" = "artist") who may not have a really big background or training in what I would call a technical engineering discipline...
