Hi ribroast,

very powerful tool in MoI, except standard tool set, is this sophisticated forum and you arn't the only Solidworks user, who has same experience with MoI like you.

MoI is (IMHO) excellent conceptually well considered piece of software, thanks to Michael's still open mind.

That's a great first model and rendering!

Thanks Guy's. I exported my orb as a OBJ and it looks solid. I was a bit worried about getting models out of MoI in a usable form, since Nurbs can sometimes be problematic. I exported a fairly dense version with quads and tri's to start with. Tomorrow (maybe?) I will put a nice metal PBR material on it in 3D Coat. We'll see how 3D coat handles the UV map, otherwise I may have to do that in UVlayout. I've just had 3D Coat for a month now, so I'm learning how to use it, but it does a amazing job with UV's and texturing. I'm not really thrilled to use the modeling features that much though. Great job Michael on this fantastic program.
