The great thing about MOI3D is that it's so easy to show others how to begin and still so broad that even after using it for years there are still wonderful surprises to discover!

I have so many heroes that I admire and appreciate among MOI3D users as I browse the forums.

I recently ran across a tutorial on a "SolidWorks Practice" channel that explains how to create a baseball using MOI3D! It's interesting that MOI3D was used and not Solidworks!

And, at some point, I just have to try some scripting to take advantage of that gift from Michael and the community as well.

Thanks Tom, i'm glad that I was able to make something that works better for you and the kids that you have helped! :)

Rhino 1.1 is 23 years ago, it's strange to think that so much time has passed.

"Rhino 1.1 is 23 years ago, it's strange to think that so much time has passed."

What is interesting to me is that I have not kept any of the install disks of the other 3D applications I tried.

In fact, I can't even remember the name of most.

For some reason, in more than 20 years, I never discarded the Rhino software. There has to be some significance in that because I certainly didn't know you were going to create MOI3D. Perhaps I felt that it had the functionality I needed even if I found it difficult to learn and thought I would come back to it later.

But, coming back to it later makes me appreciate your latest creation all the more. It's such a joy to teach and to use.

Hi Tom,

What you say here is great, I find it fantastic to teach. All of the students get a buzz out of it, both young and not so young!

I had a student a while ago that said "this is fantastic, it's like a computer game with a purpose"

I thought that this statement sums up MoI3d perfectly!
