The second part of the tutorial is on line! I've broken this part into 2 sections. At this point the base and the arms are complete. Hope I can post the last part tomorrow. If not, be patient....!
Happy Moi-ing!
Daniele

Thank`s Daniel...

Your tutorial touch some aspects of MoI.
I cant wait for another tutorial from you :-)

Another think I hope you can create a tutorial for a "REAL" design.
I mean,after we created our design in MoI, then we can output the data to manufacturing process.
Here are the case :

1. we can import to another cad software, create the 2D drawing, then print out and go to manufacturing.
2. we can import it to a CAM software without need any modification ( a gain ).

If we just create a not "REAL" 3D part / assy, its mean we can`t use our data from MoI to go directly to manufacturing.
I know it`s depend on what is our reason / purpose when create a 3D model in MoI. If we just need our 3D data as a concept we don`t need a "REAL and precision 3D model ).

Why I wrote all these thing above ?
Only one reason : I LIKE MOI :-), so I hope MoI will be a great, easy & simple 3D software that can be accepted a lot of 3D Designer & Engineer.

BTW, thanks for your MoI tutorial.

Regards,
Lish

Hi Lish! I'm glad you liked the tutorial, by the way the last two parts should be online very soon today. I also hope I'll be able to post other tutorials in the near future, because I'm having a great time doing them!

As you said, the level of precision of a model depends on the final purpose it's been created for. My models are mainly made for presentation purposes, so what really matters is what you actually "see" in the final image, even if I tend to be as faithful as possible to the real shape, for example, adding fillets also to the small parts, so that I can render convincing close-ups of the object.

Modeling for manufacturing basically requires that every piece of your model is a closed solid, so that the machine can effectively carve the shape. Until now I've only had some jewel designs actually manufactured, but in that case it has been easier to model using only closed solids. With a more complex object like the lamp, made up of many different pieces, it would have been much more complicated, and would not have added much to the basic purpose of the tutorial, which is to show how to get a final result, carefully choosing the order of application of the various tools.

Another important issue is that MoI doesn't have any diagnostic tool, like Rhino, for example. When modeling my jewels, sometimes I had to switch to Rhino looking for naked or broken edges, to check my solids and repair them.

I think that MoI has got a brilliant future, and can surely become a reference point to a lot of professionals as well as simple enthusiasts! It's only a matter of time...

All the best
Daniele

Thanks for an excellent tutorial. I've done part 1 as per the attached image. Looking forward to doing the rest.

Just a pity there's no sound. It would be even better.

Cheers
Nigel / 3DKiwi

Hi Daniele,

Very good job ! Great tutorial.
Amongst others, it convinced me that I really need to learn how to use the construction lines. A feature that I've been neglecting until now...

Thanks

And here's my finished lamp. Textured and rendered in Cinema 4D.

Thanks for a great tutorial. This really helped me learn MoI a lot better and I should be able to do my own stuff now and just refer to the documentation.

One thing I noted in the tutorial was the tutorial author extruding the curves then doing the boolean difference command. I found this wasn't necessary. The curve is projected through the base object as if it was extruded.

Cheers
Nigel

p.s. If I could award a prize for the most promising new 3D software I would easily award it to MoI. I'm looking forward to handing over the dollars and buying it and then over the next year or two, following its growth.
