Hi Metin, yes that is the goal that existing scripts should also work the same with MoI v4.

But there have been enough changes in the back end stuff that it's possible a couple may not work at first without adjusting a couple of things, either in a couple of lines in the script or in MoI. But I think that shouldn't be common.

It's comforting to know that current MoI commands / scripts will be compatible with MoI V4, or need just minor tweaks to work again, thanks Michael, and good luck with the last straws before the beta premiere.

---

I would like to have a possibility to make simulatons like in Inventor for example. To you plan something like this in V4.

Hi Rudl, sorry no that's not in the plans for V4. I'm not really sure that MoI will ever have something like that built in, it's a pretty large area of work.

If you need to do that I would definitely recommend looking for some other software that could do that function for you now that you could import your MoI models into. You shouldn't wait to get it in MoI.

Michael, when you will release the first beta of V4 could you please create a brand new forum thread specifically concerning ONLY the "V4 debugging and testing" ?

Thanks in advance.

---

Hi Marco, there will definitely be an individual thread specifically for the beta release, same as all previous beta releases. It will be titled something like "V4 beta Nov-11-2017 available now".

- Michael

---

Thanks a lot!

Ciao.

---

November 11th? Cool!! ;)

---

11 November ...

Armistice 1918 ? ;>)

11.11.2017 begin of "Fasching (Fastnacht,Karneval)" so i expect V4 at exactly at 11.11 o'clock!

Michael,

Not sure if asked before, but will the UI CSS stay the same or will there be changes?

---

Hi Chipp, there are a few changes like there's a new class for controlling the borders of flyout menus rather than that coming from a bitmap image, and flexbox layouts are now done using the newer style standardized flexbox instead of the deprecated webkit-specific flexbox. So some css property names for flexbox properties are different.

Most of it is the same, there's like 50 lines different out of 1000. I've attached the CSS files here if you want to diff them to see the differences.

Hi Michael!

@You : "...moi_v4.css..."

This is the very first public "piece" of the V4 !

:)

Hi!

This is a quick and only "visual" check of the difference between V3 and V4 css.

Hello Michael!

Just a "quick and dirt" question...

Maybe there's a little chance that soon I can get my hands on the wanderful iPad Pro 12.9 second generation with Apple Pencil,
a true "piece of cake" for digital artists/enthusiasts.

Is there any chance to see Moi running on iOs 11/iPad Pro ?

Thanks and have a nice day.

Marco (mkdm)

Hi Marco, sorry no I don't have any plans currently to do an iOS port, it's a fairly different system and that makes various complications such as not all the libraries that MoI uses have an ARM binary available.

Just supporting 2 operating systems has pretty much pushed me to the limit as it is.

You might want to check out Shapr3D, it's an interesting design program that does run on iPad Pro.

- Michael

---

Thanks Michael for the suggestion of Shapr3D.

I didn't know it.

Ciao!

---

Ok, well I've got the shaded surface display fully functional now. The line/curve drawing looks pretty gross though, I think just a couple of days to get that at least partially tuned up so it's not too distracting and then the first v4 beta will be ready.

- Michael

Marco,

I can tell you, that shapr3d is great fun. It is not without it's idiosyncrasies and missing functionality, but modelling on an iPadpro with stylus ("pencil") is a real joy.

In terms of moi3d, it is possible to use the iPad as a second screen with duet,
so laptop screen is fully devoted to Nodeeditor while viewport is assigned to iPad.

And with another soft: Astropad, the iPad Pro can be transformed into a pseudo wacom cintiq.

Further....there is a raft of graphic programs built for iPadPro. I can't made any recommendations, as I have not made use of any to date, but I would be interested in your opinion of them.

Have a great weekend
James

Michael....you rock!!

Take your time to build a very good first release!

I'm confident you're doing so :)

Ciao!
