One of the greatest things about MoI is its exporter!

If your rendering app handles the normals that are exported from MoI for your models, it should look >exactly< the same as it does in MoI!

I purchased Cinema 4D specifically because my MoI models after import looked exactly the same as they did in MoI - smooth and clean!


XSI for me came in 2nd with Lightwave being 3rd.

Again C4D is no-fuss where as with XSI you may have to tweak some things here and there. No fault of MoI, it just all depends on how your app handles the normals.

If it calculates its own normals (like Lightwave), it's not going to look as clean and smooth exactly like it does in MoI.

The mesh geometry MoI generates is exceptional so there's rarely any probs with the meshes!
