Yeah - Like buying a factory car - then you get the 'leather seat covers' + 'Bose speakers' + racing wheels - et al and the dealer tells you you can find them in the junk yard - go dig there.

Having, rather, to do nothing more than peruse a CHECKLIST and SELECT the add-ons - and UNZIP into the commands folder all the HOT ADD-ONS would turn this chimp into KING-KONG!

The benefit of Moi3d - in my humble opinion - is that Michael has some sort of aberration in his development in which he's developed a CAD designer's DAY DREAM - in terms of drivability -

In other words - all the other CAD programs handle like a FORD TAURUS where's Moi3d handles like a Bugatti - in terms of handling tools.

Like Apple - they are compulsive obsessive minimalist's - to the extreme - they made minimalism ugly and Apple's glory has been snuffed-out.

Michael - on the other hand - has developed the SUSPENSION in a CAD program that gives it DRIVABILITY - it handles super! However - the PANCAKE MIX AUNT JEMIMA style GUI with the EXTREME COOL STUFF sitting in boxes in the WOMEN'S AUXILIARY LOUNGE isn't wise - when they - the cool GUI'S & custom SCRIPTS - could be unpacked and added with a few terse clicks -

That stuff is like adding NITROUS OXIDE to your Moi fuel!

SCRIPT: Take the 'Poincaré Conjecture' - "In mathematics, the Poincaré conjecture (/pwɛn.kɑːˈreɪ/ pwen-kar-ay; French: [pwɛ̃kaʁe])[1] is a theorem about the characterization of the 3-sphere, which is the hypersphere that bounds the unit ball in four-dimensional space. The conjecture states: Every simply connected, closed 3-manifold is homeomorphic to the 3-sphere.

An equivalent form of the conjecture involves a coarser form of equivalence than homeomorphism called homotopy equivalence: if a 3-manifold is homotopy equivalent to the 3-sphere, then it is necessarily homeomorphic to it.

Originally conjectured by Henri Poincaré, the theorem concerns a space that locally looks like ordinary three-dimensional space but is connected, finite in size, and lacks any boundary (a closed 3-manifold). The Poincaré conjecture claims that if such a space has the additional property that each loop in the space can be continuously tightened to a point, then it is necessarily a three-dimensional sphere. The analogous conjectures for all higher dimensions had already been proved.

After nearly a century of effort by mathematicians, Grigori Perelman presented a proof of the conjecture in three papers made available in 2002 and 2003 on arXiv. The proof built upon the program of Richard S. Hamilton to use the Ricci flow to attempt to solve the problem. Hamilton later introduced a modification of the standard Ricci flow, called Ricci flow with surgery to systematically excise singular regions as they develop, in a controlled way, but was unable to prove this method "converged" in three dimensions. Perelman completed this portion of the proof. Several teams of mathematicians verified that Perelman's proof was correct." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poincar%C3%A9_conjecture

The Poincaré conjecture, before being proved, was one of the most important open questions in topology. and so to have a SCRIPT that would unravel a 3-sphere so that each loop can be continuously tightened to a point would be MY DREAM!

However - I'm an artist - not a SCRIPT WRITER.

Therefor I troll places (ha-ha) where I can find scripts which I think may help me achieve - as an anti-minimalist - my goals - which are another story. Basically, not that it matters - 'steam/diesel punk with soft/hard/rotten parametrics & surf flowing' design - hybrid natural with man-made - my own garden variety marmalade.

What's gripped me - is Michael's common sense suspension - Moi3d's handling is HOT HOT HOT!
