Vector exporting improvement request & isometric/orthographic question

Bonjour Cedric, thank you for your feedback and your very clear images!

Since MoI is just in version 1.0, there are actually quite a few features that are still missing, I expect to add many things in future releases.

For version 1.0 the focus is on producing 3D model output and not 2D vector output yet, although as you have seen there is a very basic AI output as an initial starting point.

You haven't missed anything - none of what you are asking for is possible in version 1.0 . I do plan on adding this functionality in to future versions, but I'm not quite sure of the schedule for exactly when that will happen.


> with 120° angles between each axes... Perhaps it's already posible but I didn't find this settings.

You can set the angles for the 3D view under Options / View / 3D view angles, but there is not currently any option for the 3D display to be set to orthographic instead of perspective.

EPS is virtually identical to AI (versions 8 and under), you may be able to re-name the .ai file that MoI saves to make an EPS file. I would like to add SVG support in the future.


I have added your requests to the wishlist here: http://moi3d.com/wiki/Wishlist so I can keep track of them.

One quick note - in your screenshots you show that these are 3 completely separate objects with pieces sticking through each other. It would be quite difficult to handle separate objects that happen to be sticking through each other and generate a curve where they intersect, it would require doing a lot of extra intersection calculations during hidden line removal. I'm not sure if that will be very feasible, probably when I do have better 2D output you will probably need to boolean objects together into one new object with edge curves at their intersections, in order to get the kind of display you are showing there.

Sorry that MoI does not have the functionality that you need at this time, check back in a future version!
