Hi Lordfox,

> Is it possible, to import an OBJ too but without SUB-D?!

Sorry, no not with any built in tools. An OBJ file without Sub-D is a faceted polygon mesh model and MoI is not designed to work with that kind of data for modeling. You would need to use a polygon mesh modeling program to import and work with that type of data, not MoI.


> Any possibility to set the strength of the build-in-SUBD?

Sorry, no not currently, it just uses the standard Catmull-Clark approach. At some point in the future I do want to add some edge weighting options but that would be unusual to do that directly in the OBJ importer.

That model data is just not suitable for use in MoI in general - it's not what MoI is focused on working with.
