It might be cool to have similar options to Maya NURBS, like insert/delete isoparm and similar functions that have to do with the control cage itself. (i.e. dynamic controls for the amount of isoparms in both U and V directions, as well as being able to cut in isoparm loops where needed.)

re: insert/delete isoparm, etc...

I definitely want to add some more features like these for a future version.

For version 1.0, there hasn't been much of a focus on control point manipulation of surfaces in general. You can turn them on and move them around, but I just have not spent very much time developing that area yet.

For 1.0 I decided to focus more on drawing and illustration flavored stuff where you draw curves and construct surfaces using lofts, sweeps, etc..., instead of squishing the points of surfaces around.

The focus on drawing will probably continue for a while, but eventually I will be able to fill in some additional point squishing tools as well.

I didn't really want to focus very much on point squishing early on because I think that point squishing tends to work better with a polygon subdivision surface modeler anyway, so I kind of expect for people who want to model using that method to use a different package that has focused entirely on that. By focusing more on a different style of workflow, it helps to make MoI more interesting and work better as a companion tool to someone who is already using a polygon modeler.
