Quick question which format does one use to export from Blender to Moi3d ?
I use fbx from Moi to Blender but vice versa I do not know.

Thank you!

Hi Matadem, It depends on what type of object you have created in Blender.

If you have constructed a polygon mesh object there, that's typically not suitable for transfer into Moi, because that type of object is made up of a lot of little flat facets and not smooth surfaces like MoI is designed to work with.

There is some description of this in the FAQ here:
https://moi3d.com/faq#Q:_Why_can_I_export_to_.obj_format.2C_but_cannot_read_.obj_format_into_MoI.3F

If you have created a sub-d object in Blender, that type of object can be brought into MoI by exporting its control polygon cage to .obj or .fbx format and using SubD > Create > "From file" in moI.

With FreeCAD you can import the OBJ and with the "Workbench part" convert it in part with the command create shape from mesh, and then save the file by exporting the selections as a STEP and import your reference in Moi3D.

this is an example of poly obj with triangles, convereted and imported.



but be careful because if the mesh is too dense you will have problems.

Hi,
This is a direct bridge to blender I use and it works great.

@Barry
If an object's modification is made in one prog does it "mirroring" automatically on the other prog ?
A sort of permanent link...

Hi Pilou,
No it doesn't.

Thanks to all...
I have the BMOI export import installed ...but I need to install it in Blender as well....going to give it a try..

Subd create works as well!



Where can I get this Moi theme?https://camo.githubusercontent.com/7a24fdd0b706b5df981634b5e30a92b1fda64e9c51441120dc8a598f5675d9b9/68747470733a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f736a4c50336b382e6a7067

Thank you!
