There was nothing wrong with the pleasant-looking interface or the toolset. I didn't miss the top-menu since it's not really needed. I didn't like it because I didn't understand nurbs modeling and there wasn't enough documentation of how to get started.
Look at the third image above and note the two guide triangles. Just draw a "control-points" curve and snap to those vertices. See my knot tutorial for Blender if you get stuck: http://home.comcast.net/~chronosphere
Thanks Anthony, nice tutorial. By the way, those are beautifull knots and renders (great materials) on your site. I still have a lot to learn...........
Set up knot in Moi and exported as OBJ.
I created a QTime movie file using trueSpace 7.51 real-time render. Output 100 1024x768 frames at 2 frames/second and compiled and down-sized frames in Photoshop 3 Ext.
