Very nice to see that we're going somewhere with object handling... it looks nice, of course it is too early to make comments... Just a small observation.... It would be better to have automated naming of objects, for example line0001, circle0001 etc... instead of unnamed... maybe the categories could change to how the curve was created for better info.... For example a circle should be a circle, a closed curve should be a freeformclosedcurve (FFCC) or something similar...Maybe this has no meaning, maybe it does... I don't know....

Thanks for the beta Michael, it would be massively used starting tomorrow :)

JTB remark about auto naming make a lot of sence for me.

Great news. Thank you Michael!

Early Xmas Prezzie !!! - Thx Mr. G

thanks Michael for another update

Wow Michael - great work.
I just stumbled over the FBX export bug in the last beta but it's already fixed now - Cool :-)

Thank you so much for your dedication to make MoI even better!

Cheers,

Thomas Helzle

Hi Tommy, you're welcome!

I'm glad the FBX export in the new beta has solved the problem for you.

Were you using it to export data into 3DS Max?

Did you have any other problems with it with this new version, or does that work well now for a good export path from MoI to Max?

- Michael

Michael is it fine to work in moi v2 beta? Of course it's not guaranteed to not explode my entire computer but can I work in 2 knowing that I can still open the files in 1?

As usual, stable as rock ...

I don't see anything that will make .3dm v2 file incompatible with V1.
The only little annoying bug is the mirror one, ->

What a magnificent "buffet Henri IV" :D

Hi PaQ,

Can you give me a screen shot of the whole model of your project ?
Interesting :)

Thanks

Hi Duke,

> Michael is it fine to work in moi v2 beta? <...>

Yup! I think most people are using it instead of v1 now.

Files you save with v2 are compatible with v1, v1 will just skip some small bits of new things that are new in v2 like object names, etc... But your geometry will be read by v1 with no problem.

Of course every time I put out a new beta it has some brand new stuff and changes in it which can possibly have some bugs in it too. But it's generally a lot more stable than what you might normally see for a beta version.

Hi PaQ - Wow, that is an awesome hangar structure!

Is that part of your project with those spaceships, where you showed one that had a newspaper texture on it, or is this something new?

- Michael

PaQ!

Awesome detail as usual, I've got some models to show but they're all in my head ;) if only I had your time :(

keep ,em coming.

Cheers

Found what might be a bug - undo doesn't work for reference image adjustments (sizing, etc.).

Hi Duke, yeah the whole undo mechanism is currently focused on changes to geometry only, background images are in a kind of different category from that.

But yeah that is not unreasonable to want to add a feature for undo to apply to background images as well.

You can only edit background images while you are inside that Image command, so I guess the way undo could work there would be to have an "image undo" available while you were still running inside that Image command.

Then once you exit the command undo would switch back to "Geometry undo" instead.

Would that work?

- Michael

Yeah that would be cool, like a mode-sensitive undo.

Hi there, hehe thanks for the comments (btw it's far to be finished, it was more to show MoI beta stability).

I'll post some final shoots at the end of this week (I hope) ... it's indeed for the same animation project from which I allready post some elements (space ships).


@pilou Je pense que tu as egare tes lunettes :P

@PaQ: Are you sure? < O:)

good point :P
