does this working in the V2?
A sort of loop selection

Edit : cool :)
script:moi.geometryDatabase.selectLoop();

Very nice!

It would be great if there would be a tab where all the defined keyboard shortcuts can be opened as list and activated with a mouse click... I always forget what I defined as shortcut and then have to fly to europe, travel by donkey to a remote location, turn a rock, dig 8 ft deep... unearth the treasure chest, open it with the hidden key from under another rock, then open it, take the scroll out, have it deciphered, cross translated, and then studying it to find the correct entry... then go back home... just to find out I forgot what I was looking for... Long story short.... The shortcuts are a pita to use for me ;}. Probably good for someone using MOI often. If not... one forgets so quickly.

Thank you Michael:) just placed my order.

Hi Pilou, yup being able to set up that loop selection on a keyboard shortcut is one of the new things in v2, it looks like you found the script for it already.

There are some details on it in these posts:

Hi Rainer, yeah I do want to make it easier to set up keyboard shortcuts in the future, it's just one of the many areas that I have not yet had time to focus on.

There is a listing of all the different command names that you can set on a keyboard shortcut available here:

Script copier utility for v2 is available here:

Lemo,
You can also use the plugin Gallery to do this.

Great work! looking forwards to trying all the new features

Great work!

Thanks Michael

Congratulations Michael!

You and MoI are my favourite example how good a software and the support of a company can be!

Thank you so much for all your hard work.

Cheers!

Hi Michael, I did get MoI 1.1 at Studica a few days ago but then v2 came out right afterward, which I didn't expect so soon... But I would like to use the new one, so I decided to get an upgrade. I might have messed things up somewhat because I saw only v1 at Studica, and I just now bought the full upgrade from plimus, thinking maybe Studica would only get v1. This was before I saw your message above. Can that be adjusted?


So I have what appears to be my upgrade license under "supplied license" from the plimus page. I came to the forum initially to see if I am supposed to install the thirty day trial and then enter that number in there or if I will be sent a link to a different installer that I should use. Thank you, --Adrian

Hi Adrian, yes sorry it is going to take a bit more time before the Studica order pages are updated for v2.

There is a different installer for the full version, there isn't any way to "unlock" the trial version.

You should get an automated e-mail when you placed your order, with both your license key and a download link in it to the full version installer.

Please check any "junk" or "spam" mail folders for that e-mail, and if you can't find it please e-mail me at moi@moi3d.com and I will send you back a download link.


The edu version upgrade will be at a reduced cost than the regular upgrade version that you just purchased, so if you would like I can refund your current one if you want to wait and get the edu one when it is ready from Studica.

Hi Michael, I have replied to your private address. thank you, --A

Thanks for this V2!

And as the "GUI Aesthetics" thread is closed, I put my "2 cent" comment here: the GUI interface is probably one of the best UI I've ever seen for a software, especially for a 3D modeler... The power of this modeler hidden behind its simplicity of use is definitely a great asset.

Thank you Michael!
Just purchased it.

Best,
Rudy

Thanks Michael G.!!!

I just purchased my V2 upgrade about an hour ago.

Keep up the great work! You have created an incredible tool here, and I am proud to help support it and you!

Sincerely,

Michael T.

Hi there, especially hi Michael Gibson,

I have been looking into the forum for some time now, but unfortunately never found time to participate. Since it is impossible to describe in words how *great* MoI is ;), I just skip this point and will - now, with the great news that the v2 is out - just post my questions regarding this

> the v2 upgrade version requires a v1 license key in addition
> to the v2 one that you get but any v1 license key will be
> valid for the upgrade including v1 edu licenses.

issue. Firstly, you should have heard my crow/yell of happiness when I read this paragraph - I thought I would get stuck with my educational version that I bought [when I had to look carefully for which things I spent how much money]. Now [, with more money available,] if I understood it right, it seems to be possible to get a full commercial version that I could use in business without purchasing a *complete new* v2 version for 295 $.

If so, will I get any disadvantage in *future* versions (after v2), when I purchase a v2 update now (update from v1-EDU to v2)? I guess I have to always input the old license keys when installing new versions (if there will be any) in the future, so those future version could tell from the key(s) if there has been some educational or only normal versions in the history. So maybe I "get stuck" ;) later because my first MoI was only educational? Hopefully not (?).

The second thing is: I purchased the educational version via studica. Do I have to also purchase the commercial upgrade there or can I also buy it from the homepage directly?

With kind regards,

Red*Star

Hi Red*Star, I'm glad that you like MoI! :)

Yes, that's correct - if you have already purchased a v1 edu license, you do not need to purchase the "full" v2 commercial version, you can get the upgrade commercial v2 version instead. The upgrade version will require you to also have a v1 license key and your v1 edu license key will work fine for that.

But actually you can even use your v1 educational version for business purposes - only students or educators can buy the edu version but you can use it for whatever work you want including commercial work.


> If so, will I get any disadvantage in *future* versions (after v2),
> when I purchase a v2 update now (update from v1-EDU to v2)?

Nope, there won't be any disadvantage to doing this (v1 edu to regular v2 upgrade).


> I guess I have to always input the old license keys when installing
> new versions (if there will be any) in the future,

Yes, that's the one thing to keep in mind with upgrade versions, you will need to keep the license key from the previous version because you will need to enter it at install time.

I haven't really worked out yet what will happen with v3 upgrades, but I think that probably you'll only have to enter your license key from the previous version only (any kind of key - upgrade, edu, whatever) and not have to go all the way back to your v1 key at that time.

I have no plans to penalize you if your original v1 version was an edu version.


> The second thing is: I purchased the educational version via studica.

You can buy the commercial upgrade version from either place, it will be the same.

 

But if you are still a student, you can buy the v2 edu upgrade version from Studica, it's half off the regular v2 upgrade version. There is no restriction on the kind of work that you can do with the edu version.

Hnhf... Wow... I didn't realize that when I buyed the first version. Normally "educational" means "restricted in use"... that's really great! [*]

And this is even greater then...

And, combined with [*], still greater! :DD


Finally, thank you very much for the answers. My order has just been placed :).
