Well initially I bought it to act as a mesher for Rhino.
Needless to say that MOI and Michael are geniuses. The edit frame is awesome, the way blends are handled are fantastic, selecting curves/edges is great, construct lines are phenomenal.....overall what a strong foundation. Simply genius even in its current early builds.
I think in its later iterations and with a few more surfacing tools MOI will become the Sparta of nurbs!!!

When is the projected timeframe release of V2?
Is it considered a paid release or a free existing customer upgrade?

Keep up the good work Michael

Is there a "bigger picture" release structure that can be shared yet?

ie; 5 years to V4 or something like that?

Hi niko, thanks very much, I'm really glad that you like it! :)

Several of those things like the edit frame and selection are pretty addictive... Pretty soon you may be wondering how you lived without them before. :)


> When is the projected timeframe release of V2?

Well, I had hoped that it would be out already by this time... But some pieces took a while longer to finish that I had thought they would.

It is getting pretty close to the end though, hopefully I can wrap it up within the next 2 months.


> Is it considered a paid release or a free existing customer upgrade?

It will be a paid release, the base price for v2 will be going up to US $295, and there will be an upgrade license available for v1 owners for US $100 (which is the difference in price between v1 and v2).

I don't really have any schedule set in stone...

But hopefully something around 1 or 1.5 years between releases, so that would place V4 at something like 2-3 years from now.

It's pretty hard to know exactly though, mostly any time I try to set a fixed schedule it turns out wrong.

I understand. I was looking for (and got) insight from someone who has done it for a few years already.

Thanks.
