Does anyone have any jewelry CAD designs they have made with this software to show on forum in 3dm formatt? Would like to see how they compare with other 3dm design packages.

Hi Terry,
In just the couple of days I have used this program, I am very impressed! The sweeps and revolves seem to work much easier than in rhino and I love the snaps in Moi.
I'm attaching a very simple project I did just for practice.
I have an upcoming ring that will be for a customer and will attach it as soon as I get it designed.
Give Moi a try. You wont be dissapointed.

Regards,
Ken

Adding another...Heads will be milled separate, scroll will be fabricated from wire. Stones were added with techgems/rhino

Hi Terry,

How's it going? :-)

Here is a simple ring I'm doing as a tutorial,
I rendered it in Rhino/Flamingo.

I don't think it would be fair to compare it with other design programs at this point
because it's new, it's still in Beta, but I think you'll like MoI.. the interface is very cool...the tools are
well organized and simple to use....some of the basic functions that you would do in multiple steps
in Rhino are automated as one operation within MoI commands.
Michael would be better able to explain the differences. He just added Array in the last Beta.

Check it out! :-)

Precious diamond indeed :)

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the JCK post Jesse. I posted about MOI on the Matrix forums last night.

So this design is not exciting, but yes the software works.

On your image seems intersections are not made?
Are they realized after?

Hi Paul,

Nice to see you here.

Jesse

Loooks Great. Can't believe it.

Terry

It's a good 3DM model. Well, jewelry wise it could use more work.

It will be interesting to see how MOI develops. I would like to try it with a tablet.

I wish it did curves from text.

Here's a ring created with a sweep. I call it "The Banana Ring".


Jesse

Looks fabulous!

Thanks!...


Here's another take on it..I was having some fun mapping a screen shot of MoI in Flamingo.

:) If only MoI could really extrude a ring like that from the screen....

Tropical indeed !
Bravo!

Banna ring is very interesting.

Well, I'm just happy it can make one by sweeping some curves in just a few minutes.

Dear Ken,
I just stumbled onto this site. I am close to buying a cad program. I am down to Matrix and 3Design. This Moi software has to be used with a copy of Rhino I assume? I am running an intel Mac with a vmware emulator w/windows pro. I hope to talk to some folks in Tucson to help me decide. I am a master Goldsmith with 35 years experience, and no experience in cad. I have been under the impression that buying straight Rhino is too difficult for a novice like me to master. What do you think/

Hi to all.

After using RHINO for quite some time I find MOI is very simple program...I know RHINO potentials and I atomaticaly look for more tools.

Anyhow,it's a very good start and HUGE potentials in this.

Is there a posibility to use plugins with this program?
Lets say I don't know anything about RHINO,GIRRAFE & FLAMINGO and I'd like to achive same result in MOI. Is it possible?

I'd like to THANK Mikle for atomic effort he puts into it.
