>> I don't think it's very feasible for me to do surface unrolling in MoI - there is one developer at Rhino that spends a lot of time just on that one feature alone. It's pretty difficult for me to undertake tasks that take a substantial amount of development time like that.


Maybe you can ask this developer if he wants to help you, and offer this function as a plugin for MoI at his own income.

I think, there are a lot possibilities to use it.

I once had to make a big barrel for a stage and used Rhino to unroll the planks. It was not very exact, but good enough for the stage.
