To Michael Gibson and to Michael Spencer-Ford: Since I made no request(s) and granted no permission for anyone on this site to take my images and mark them up with digital ink and then re-post them with subjective notations, I request that those images marked-up images by Michael Spencer-Ford be taken down from this forum page immediately, as I consider it vandalization of my original artwork. My work is owned exclusively by me, and I have never granted permission to anyone on this site to add their artwork [red ink] to my art/designs.

Like everyone, Michael Spencer-Ford has right to his opinion. However, Michael Spencer-Ford is not my lord and saviour, or mentor, or anything. He has nothing of interest to say to me--and in my view he is envious and childish, and his opinions are dead and hollow. I don't need anyone shoving their viewpoints down my throat, which Michael Spencer-Ford seems to think is a great idea.

Furthermore, I'm on this site to enjoy the creativity of others and to share my own, so beyond that I don't care whether or not anyone likes my work. So, Michael Spencer-Ford, I ask that you delete the vandalized images of my work from your forum posts, and to Michael Gibson, if Michael Spencer-Ford does not or cannot do this, because it is something admin must do, I ask that you delete said images immediately.

An additional parallel though: Michael Spencer-Ford, I noticed you posted a image of a ring you created. To that I have no comment.

In all the years I have been writing about the work or others artists, architects and industrial designers--whether at Art Digital Magazine, The Huffington Post, Truthout.org, Artworks Magazine, Triangle Modernist Houses, MaxEternity.com, or elsewhere--I have NEVER ever written a single negative word about anyone's artwork. However, on many occasions, I have said "no comment."

Figure it out.

Moving on:

While I hold MoI in high esteem, I accept the fact that MoI is not a perfect program, and neither is Keyshot. This really doesn't matter, as for myself and the full-time, career artists that I know personally who's work has been presented all over the world--some of whom work in museums, some of whom are college professors, a couple who are Guggenheim Fellows, and a few who are published authors, editors, curators and publishers, like myself--for us perfection is never the goal...creativity and beauty is.

I can always find a "flaw" in the work of artists, architects, authors and designers, no matter how experienced and professional they are. Yet to have my mind focused on perceived imperfection, would be to totally miss the point.

Beauty is the ideal.

- Just as a sidebar, BTW, I often do screenshot captures, and not full renders, in the interest of time and CPU usage. Full renders and screenshots each have their own place, in my view.

What now follows is a re-post of my original thoughts about the title of this thread, which is "MoI export file for KeyShot." My original comment on that is followed by the images that I originally posted along with said comment. Thereafter, what follows are images of my latest line of supercar designs...is being: VTV E79 (version C)

I have been using MoI and Keyshot together for a couple years. To render a MoI file in Keyshot, what I do is first create and save a MoI .3dm file. Then I save that file as a Keyshot .obj file, selecting the "quads and triangles" option in the MoI popup menu. Then I open Keyshot, and drag and drop the .obj file. When I drag and drop, an "import" popup window opens in Keyshot, and in the "Materials" section I always check the box that says "Keep individual parts" and on the drop-down menu in that same section of the popup, I select "Group by "Materials"." When I follow these steps exactly, I never have any problems.

Here is are images of some recent furniture designs...from my imagination, to MoI, to Keyshot:
