WOW that was fast! Thanks a lot for MoI.app

I use OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and my first impression after playing a few minutes with the prototype is very positive.
C: is the windows disk and Z: is my Mac disk which I can browse fine with the windows file interface.

I seem to miss a certain font though as you can see in the screen shots. The font for the keyboard shortcuts and the font for the lables "3D" "Top" "Front" "Right" is missing.

That's just a quick, first impression.
Thanks again.

Great news!!

would love to beta test this but, you know, not too many mac users out there would actually have a v2 license.
:)

i'll be following the progress closely.

Hi Michael, this is wonderful news! Especially ycarry's tests with Snow Leopard on MacBook, which is the combination I have, sound very promising. As Jeff mentions, do I have to purchase a v2 license first in order to make a test? You not happen to have a trial of this.. I guess not.. well if the GFX is the same I am ready to jump!

Hello ycarry, may I ask you the favor to verify that your MacBook has the same graphics as mine? You can find the info in the System Profiler > Graphics/Display. That would be super kind!

Thanks a lot both of you!

Hi Chyman,
CG is a GT330M

Thank you, ycarry, for looking that up. Then it is a different MacBook, mine has a Intel GMA X3100...

@chyman.. i'm curious to see how(if) it would run on a 13" mbp or air..
those integrated graphics give all sorts of problems with sketchup and rhino osx..

fwiw, if i were beta_ing, it'd be on a MacPro 1,1 2.66xeon w/ 8800gt and a MacBookPro 6,2 15" 2.66 i7 w/ 330M
both running 10.7.2
i'm also testing rhino osx (for the past 2 years) and am a sketchup veteran :)

I'm not even a MAC user and I have to say WOW Michael!

I'm happy for you cause I know a lot of folks were asking for MoI to be native on the MAC platform - looks like you'll have a whole new set of users now - congrats!

-Will

Yes my friend Jeff is a Sketchup veterant! :D

Hey! that looks just like me!
nice :D

Tried it on an my black macbook with Lion (OSX 10.7.2) but the views don't work. only get a big pixelated black ellipses on all of them. doesnt matter if I switch to single view either. :(

any suggestions?

yeah, the blackbooks had intel integrated graphics only..
i figured that's what would happen on them.. not sure if the newer 13" mbp and airs will fair any better but i doubt it.

<not sure if the newer 13">

You are affraid of the size of the screen?
Moi has a tricky system of reduction of UI !

So like a phone screen :) here size 1/1

no, not scared of the screen size exactly..
it's just that the small screened macs don't have good graphics cards in them.. if you want to use a laptop for moiosx, you'll more likely than not need a 15" or 17" MacBookPro to run it properly. (as is the case with other 3D apps i use)

Hmmm...
think its Wineskin fault if some Mac fails
I just take a look in Moi folder...
Windows (and Explorer) are here

By the way how change options?
i.e. some keys not works... and all are with Ctrl not Cmd

Wow.. This is great news Michael


I have a27 inch iMac. I would love to use moi on this.

Very exciting

Steve

Hi Michael,

running it on my iMac 27in Snow Leopard.

Overall looking great. Need more time to play

Just to let you know having issues with copy and paste not working via ctr C and ctr V and via menu.

Unusual using the CTR rather than CMD key on Mac. Having Issues assigning keys using the Cmd key

Steve

Great news!! I have been waiting for this for a while. I hope all the mac users that have been begging for this buy a copy to justify your efforts to finally bring MOI to the Macintosh platform.
I can't thank you enough.

Could you briefly expalin how the licensing is going to work for the Mac? If I buy a PC license now to test the beta, will I have to purchase another Mac copy when 3 is released? Is buying a license now be good for both Mac/PC?

I would love test the beta, but are unsure on how to proceed on purchaseing a copy in reguards to the V3 release.
I have no problem buying V2 now and paying for the V3 upgrade, but just didn't want to get stuck buy a whole new license for mac when I already purchased the PC version.
Could I get some advise on how to make my purchase?

Michael,

FYI

I Loaded up both my egg Blender and gun mount models I created on my PC into MoI Mac Version and exported the Objs to C4D to render.

I experienced no issues during this process :)


iMac Mac OSX V10.6.8

WOW !!!

I don't have a v2 licence so I can't beta test, I stopped upgrading to v2 after i went all mac couple of years ago and was so tired of using windows for just Moi, but this just makes my year, how well is it running, are there any performance issues?

If this works, I will be recommending all my students to use Moi, the students all use macs, and have been using Rhino Beta on mac, which well is ... not .. good...
