Hello,
in another thread I read about it and back then, there were no plans to go 64bit because of the amount of work to rewrite all the tools and functionality inside MoI. I admit, for regular modelling work there is perhaps no need to go 64bit. But there is one good reason, I think. We use MoI for meshing only (STEP import and export as fbx), because the mesher is exceptionally good. I didn't get the clean result with Rhino for example. Unfortunatly going to Rhino or other software is the fall back solution, whenever MoI crashes with an out of memory error.
I know all the tricks available in MoI to reduce memory consumption when exporting but if the original file is too large it even cannot import it.
I'm very sure many costumers would highly appreciate a 64bit version just for the import/export/meshing part of the software. Maybe it could be a standalone application. I would buy it instantly and so do would many of my colleages.
I really hope you could find the time to make that happen. Again, a standalone converting tool would be absolutly sufficient. It's a niche, but I think it would be financially worthwile.
Best regards,
Sven

Hi Brian,
thanks for the quick response. I'm a v2.0 costumer (purchased before May 1, 2014) so I have to upgrade to v3 to access the v4 beta. Is it 64 bit? Then I'll do it.

Yep. 64bit. That's the announcement from the first Beta:
quote:
The first v4 beta (version Nov-12-2017) is now available for download here:
http://moi3d.com/beta.htm , also linked to from the download page on the main web site.
V4 is a major rewrite with changes on many levels so please be on the lookout for any bugs.
The main new functionality is that MoI is now a 64-bit program for both Windows and Mac and the Mac version is a native build and doesn't use Wineskin anymore.
New system requirements are Windows 7/8/10 64-bit or macOS 10.8 - 10.13 .
Polygon conversion can now use all your system memory instead of running into 32-bit memory limits.
A lot of various little quirky things should be tuned up for the Mac version.
The only known areas still not quite working yet are snap text labels and dotted/dashed line styles in viewports and Mac trackpad gestures aren't fully functional yet.
Thanks! - Michael
