Hi krass,

re:
> This amazing connector worked v.4 only?

I think so because the export to FBX needs a newer version of FBX which MoI v4 supports and which MoI v3 doesn't. The FBX import library was updated for v4 and can write newer versions of FBX.

Thanks, I understand!

@pafurijaz: Have you used own code to import that rhino object or that blender build only?

I hope that Blender build will be developed further to have better support of nurbs inside Blender.

---

Seem something is moving but this part lack of developer, and for now the news are here https://devtalk.blender.org/t/branch-soc-2014-nurbs-update-to-master-code-base-d6807/11681

For the build the now import a mess surfaces, but after saving it can be adjusted with switching off the endpoint of each surfaces V and turning on again the endpoint of both direction U and V. only with this tricks you get out a nice surfaces shading. if you have a model without trimmed surfaces you can import right now without problem, only with wrong options.

Below the direct link for windows Build. the link is still working.

Hi surferdude - that error is because Blender doesn't support reading older versions of the FBX format.

In MoI v4 you can solve it by going to Options > Import/Export > "FBX options" and set the FBX version to a newer one.

Hey folks here the work in progress of conversion of my Blender 3d model into 3dm file with Moi3d SubD feature, many crashes and the imports was made with few or single mesh and often the complex shapes are splitted in many object in order to avoid the mess generated surface during import, and the model is made for this workflow. and I also gained experience for better modelling with both application.

This guy (Cotter) uses also MOi! ;) Minute 13.20 + 14.56

A longshot, but could one export curves from MoI and turn them into bezier curves in Blender?

---

Hi nameless,

You can !

Export curves in DXF format (polylines or splines 2D projection) from MOI 3D
Import in Blender by enabling before the AutoCAD DXF addon (v0.9.6)

Cheers

---

That's insane! Thank you so much John, I was busting my head trying to find ways to bring curves through and this works!

---

You're welcome ;-)

Does anyone know how to align Blender's camera with Moi's?
I am wanting to composite Moi's hidden line output with Blender's shading.

Hope we can do that.
I haven't seen crisp hidden line results from Blender alone.

I appreciate.

Hi Mindset, check out here for a script that will put the 3D view's camera and target locations in the clipboard:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=5981.2

Then the other thing to match is the perspective field of view angle which is shown under Options > View > 3D view angles > "Field of view".

Some previous threads may have some useful info:

Wow, this thread has just made me (re)discover the open source OD_CopyPasteExternal tool!

I didn't know this tool provides a great, direct bridge between MoI, Zbrush and Blender. Very happy with this!

Tip: Activate ZBrush Preferences ➔ Import Export ➔ Import Mat As Groups to transfer Obj materials to Polygroups.

When I use the OD_CopyPasteExternal tool to copy an OBJ file to the clipboard, it uses the default export settings until you export a file first.

Is there a way to set the default export settings, at least for OBJ? That'd be very convenient.

Thanks,

Hi Metin,

re:
> Is there a way to set the default export settings, at least for OBJ? That'd be very convenient.

look for the file OD_CopyPasteExternal/Moi3D/ODCopyToExternal.js

Inside there, find this on line number 4:

moi.geometryDatabase.fileExport( obj, 'NoUI=true' ); //also try: Output=ngons | quads | triangles

The options can be set on the 2nd parameter being sent to the moi.geometryDatabase.fileExport() function. You can remove the NoUI=true if you want to have the mesh dialog shown or you can add additional parameters in there separated by semi-colons. The available parameters are:

		Different possible options:
		NoUI=true
		Angle=12.0
		Output=ngons | quads | triangles
		MaxLength=0.0
		MaxLengthApplyTo=curved | planes | all
		MinLength=0.0
		AspectRatio=0.0
		Weld=true
		Display=shadedwithedges | shadednoedges | wireframe
		ExpandedDialog=false

So if you want to have no mesh dialog shown and have it use an angle parameter of 6, you would make it like this:

moi.geometryDatabase.fileExport( obj, 'NoUI=true;Angle=6' );

Fantastic, many thanks Michael! Insert two thumbs up emojis here. ;)
