Carrara's meta-balls are just as sloppy as any other. You can get smooth results if you crank the resolution extremely high. But this makes it impractical for most UV/animating/rendering purposes. So at best i can see it being used as a guide mesh, to remodel a cleaner mesh (or a NURBS object) on top of it. But directly, they are pretty bad... Archipelis' demo version has disabled the function which turns on the mesh edge display. Why is that? ;)

Thanks to all who replied and responded including most recently Johah and Brian. I will look into these variations ASAP. In the meantime, I will post another discussion to ask specific steps of how to get MoI supported files such as "EPS for MoI" as suggested by Ed. Or how Brian got "Steves recent bug" into the cutout format after "using Photoshop and Illustrator."

Please forgive, if I use improper forum etiquate or something.

Hi Brent, just getting back to some of your questions.

> gets kind of expensive.

Check out this thread:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=1410.1

I think Phil and Crusoe mentioned some resources there for doing pretty low cost 3-D printing.


> Have you ever considered licensing MoI for school use?

Yup, I do have a program for this which is pretty informal right now and I just handle it on a case-by-case basis right now. Send me an e-mail at moi@moi3d.com when you have a lab set up and I can give you some more information on that.

Michael,

Thanks for the info! I will definitely look into the thread link right away and e-mail you again in future time when our lab is ever set up. Best to you.
