Thank you Michael, that's great. Good luck.

Hi Micha.

Are you the same Micha I know?

I think yes - the Micha from the forums of Rhino, Vray for Rhino, Maxwell, Unfold3D ... ;)

well look who it is

hi micha and sandy :)

hi, dave.

I've seen some other guys include yanana who deleted his reply. :)

hi JEONGHO KIM nice to see you guys picking up MoI, welcome to the MoIverse, Stefan/llab and Max are also here. So lets Nurb

Six degrees of separation.

Hey guys. You do not know me but I know some of you from C4D, VrayForC4D, Maxwell, Fry and beyond. I go by nycL45, leoA4D or Leonard. All of you have done very nice work and I look forward to seeing what you do with Moi.

Both of these I should be able to do for the next v2 beta I think.

Hello Michael,

yesterday I run in the problem, that a long light swinged part of a complex model needs to be meshed. The angle parameter at angle 4° was not the best, but ok. In this moment I missed the max error option. OK, I could use a lower angle or the divide option for curved parts, but this would add to much unwanted polygons. Could you still add the max error option please? You was quite optimistic for that option in the february. ;)

Hi Micha,

> Could you still add the max error option please?

Yes, it is definitely still on my list of things to add, I'm just not very confident right now about getting in to v2, it will most likely be a v3 thing.


> You was quite optimistic for that option in the february. ;)

Yup, but that was before all the work on Styles took much longer than I had initially thought.

Also don't forget that there were a lot of other improvements and bug fixes that you asked for in this previous thread:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=2451.1
which did get implemented, those also took quite a bit of time as well.

- Michael

Maybe you get it v2 or v2.1. You know, the "v2 meshing release" thing ... ;)

Thank you,
Micha

Hi Micha, probably not for v2.0 and currently I don't plan on having a v2.1 .

Once v2.0 is wrapped up, I'll be moving on to v3 and there will then be betas for that version available.

There will not likely be a v2.1 unless there are some major bugs found in v2.0 that need to be corrected.


Please keep in mind that I am only a single person working on MoI, which means that I have to try and be efficient at how I spend my time.

It takes additional effort to do things like attempt to work on a version 2.1 and a version 3.0 at the same time. That's why when 2.0 is wrapped up the general plan is that I'm on to version 3 work at that point.

But don't worry though - MoI v2 is not the end of the line, I want to add a lot of new stuff in for v3! :)

- Michael

Good luck. :)

Hi Micha, also the good news is that there have already been so many improvements to meshing in v2 that it is really a major meshing release already!

Not only a bunch of things you specifically asked for in that previous thread:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=2451.1

but also there was a huge improvement to meshing speed in v2 since it is now multi-core enabled!

Of course there will still be improvements in the future, but there's no doubt that v2 is a very major step for meshing in MoI.

We know where you're at with V2, I feel a little excitement in the above comment, any clues for the road map for V3........something........anything!

A road map would be nice Michael - it would be a way of seeing what features you'd like MoI to have in the future.

It would also give us a way to see your plans plus fine tune our expectations and target our suggestions in the same direction...

Hi Friends :)

We can take a look some MoI wish list here : http://moi3d.com/wiki/Wishlist

Yep - V2 is looking and working very well for me. My credit card is ready when it's available for purchase.

The wish list is quite long, and I'm also curious what the focus areas are for V3.

I have my own short wish list, but I'll wait to see if specific V3 inputs are requested.

Well, I don't really have any set in stone "road map" at all...

I do have some general ideas, like I want to get some basic dimensions working, maybe attempt to do some deeper history or at least explore that some to see how much work is involved, tune up some control point manipulation stuff for surfaces, ...

But it is all rather fluid, when things are requested more frequently, or when I notice that something is causing confusion or problems with many people, those kinds of things tend to get more priority. Those kinds of things are based mostly off of user feedback so I could not exactly predict what will happen in v3 unless I could predict all the user feedback as well, which is not likely! :)

But it is safe to say that I'd expect to do a variety of things off of the wishlist: http://moi3d.com/wiki/Wishlist

Ah yes, basic communication tools would be good, Michael :)
Would that require jumping into, similar to other packages, a drafting window/session or would it be in the same modeling space, à la sketchup ?
