Same here, Rico. 14 years of 3ds Max (1998-2012), then I moved to Blender 3D (which is still my preferred 3D all-rounder), and not long after that MoI entered my life and stole my heart. ㋡
The only thing I really missed in MoI was the powerful branching of polygon subdivision modeling, but Max built an interesting bridge to that now.

Don't forget ExplodeMove after subdivide for cool possibilities!
From: Max Smirnov (SMIRNOV)
Pilou, it looks great :)
P.S. Small update (Unsupported polygons stays selected)

Cool! ;)

Cool stuff Max!
From: Karsten (KMRQUS)
Wow!
Thank You very much!!!
From: Metin Seven (SEVENSHEAVEN)
Finally found the time to try this cool script.
It looks great. Thanks a lot, Max! I especially love the minimal number of control points.
A question:
When using the max number of subdivs, you still see seams along the surface edges. Will those be gone in the Quality mode? Would be great if the surfaces would have seamless continuity.
All the best,
Metin

Hi Metin,
>>I especially love the minimal number of control points.
Thank you. This was one of the main tasks.
>>When using the max number of subdivs, you still see seams along the surface edges.
I'm working on it. Fast mode will be used for interactive tuning only.
>>Will those be gone in the Quality mode?
Yes. At least I hope so :)

Here is the Tetrus stp, from an old topic, for testing purposes, if useful.
Not quite as pretty as the old "t-splines" version.

(I bought ViaCad, at the half price special, and used it to convert the stl to stp.
Thanks to those responsible for the tips.)

Made a small pdf for the customUI Objects, to be placed along with the tetrus .3dm in the Objects folder, if so desired.
I had to manually set the background color in Moi to white, then reset it to the saved "grey" color rgb.
Is there a script way to temporarily set the background color white, and restore the "grey"?
The porcelain lighting seemed to match the 3 default objects.

Hi Brian, check out here for a script that saves the current viewport background color, then sets it to white, then takes a screenshot, then restores the starting color back:

That'd be fantastic, Max, keep up the great work!
From: bemfarmer
Thank you Michael.
The script works very well.

Max,
When I import my OBJ I get a strange error. The mesh is 816 polygons and when I run the Subd converter the mesh just disappear.

I did not think that Moi would import .obj format.

re:

It will if you use Max's importObj script from here:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=6674.68
That will import quads or triangles (not n-gons) from an .obj file.

Thank you Michael.
I did download that last week.
It is hard to keep track... :-)

importObj supports n-gons :)
Sonk
>> When I import my OBJ I get a strange error.
All polygon points must lay in the same plane, or you will get Geometry error.
In this case script tries to create a curved surface through those points.
>> The mesh is 816 polygons and when I run the Subd converter the mesh just disappear.
I'll check it.

Hi Max,
> importObj supports n-gons :)
Oops, I see now I didn't read it close enough - I saw the if (edges.length<5) part and I thought that was the main thing, but now I see that's only a backup path for if the polygon was not planar enough for planarsrf to construct a surface through it. Sorry!
I guess if the n-gon is non-planar then that will be an issue though?

Hi Michael,
>>I guess if the n-gon is non-planar then that will be an issue though?
Yes, exactly.
Just found a stange obj export bug. When I export "O" letter using n-gon mode, MOI creates four strange polygons instead of normal quads.
code:
f 83/83/83 101/101/101 85/85/85 86/86/86 102/102/102 84/84/84
...
f 97/97/97 103/103/103 98/98/98 99/99/99 104/104/104 100/100/100
...
f 105/105/105 137/137/137 106/106/106 107/107/107 138/138/138 108/108/108
...
f 119/119/119 139/139/139 121/121/121 122/122/122 140/140/140 120/120/120
So importObj can't properly import it.
