A smart move, more over if V2 demo is coming soon !

(any roadmap for V3 ? , I know you don't really like it, I'm really curious when surface continuity options will be added, same for multiple edge blending :))

I'm another in agreement Michael G. v2 will be a major upgrade as is.

Keep up the excellent work!

Hi PaQ,

> any roadmap for V3 ?

Nothing really set in stone, there's quite a lot of stuff that I would like to get into V3 of course but I don't really have much idea of a prioritized schedule yet. Probably Groups and some file I/O stuff would be some early targets.

I will probably take at least a few weeks at the start to do some general UI experimentation though.

Something that i would have love to use but we can wait for the final release of V3 to get it.

V2 like others said before me, offer alot of new tools to keep us working with V2 until V3 comes in beta test.

Thanks Micheal.

shwee shwoo shwoo shwoo shwoo - shwee shwoo shwoo shwoo - PUSH!!!!!!!!!

Common Michael......We know you can do it. :o

Is Mrs. Gibson there holding your hand? Little V2 is on the way. I think I see hair!

It's a, it's a..........

Hi Burr, maybe an epidural would actually help right now... ;)

> maybe an epidural would actually help right now... ;)

:-)

I remember modeling something that might help...

Not a problem on groups here either. We will get to use groups in the V3 Beta period anyway so it's as good as a given.

Good luck with the release of V2 Michael.

In any case we can't make better ourself :D

Thanks for keeping us posted Michael. I too can wait for groups
and have a good system for export that does what I need with V2.
You're design path of V2 is first rate, and I'm looking forward to
the release. :)

Hopefully V3 will add some other export options (perhaps Collada)
that will support parent/child relationships.

Hi Michael,

No probs on the groups.
I just like to say that you're doing a great job for all users and it has been and still is a great experience following the progress of this well thought out software.
As mentioned many times before the support you provide, being a one man show, is unbelievable compared to the big guns, you make it a personal experience, we (MoI users) feel like that we are dealing with one of our mates.
It shows in the software and support that you are very passionate in getting things right the first time and not just hacking some code together to get it out there with the fix it later attitude, that to me, and I think a lot of others, is a refreshing experience when it comes to software.

Stick to the path you're taking and you have my full support.

Cheers

Nothing like hoping for a sharp needle in the spine to look for relief!!!

Respect for our Mrs' for that one. :o

Although in your case, perhaps a tall one and a warm Saki when it's all over!

I second that

Hi Michael...

Interesting, Which area of the main UI you will improve in the next V3 ?

BWT, are you agree if MoI users create Top 10 Wish List ?
From the top 10, you not have to implement all the 10 wish list in V3.
Just for your guide :)

Hi Danny, thanks very much for your (and everyone's) support, I really appreciate it!

Hi Anis,

Initially I want to see how feasible it would be to switch the underlying UI platform off of mshtml.

Certainly - there's actually already a wiki page for that located here:
http://moi3d.com/wiki/Wishlist

That would be a good place to post your top 10 wish list items so that it is with the rest of the wish list stuff and won't get lost.

- Michael

Michael...

Can I create vote on the MoI Forum ?

Hi Anis, you can create your own forum thread if you want - but I don't have any way for the forum to set up a vote page that takes user submitted data in it like entering your items or stuff like that.

But instead of putting it in a thread, again I suggest to use the wiki wishlist page (http://moi3d.com/wiki/Wishlist) to post your wishlist because that will keep them all in one spot rather than getting submerged into a forum topic where I won't be able to reference it again as easily.

- Michael

I second DannyT's notion, I couldn't have said it better.

>>>Initially I want to see how feasible it would be to switch the underlying UI platform off of mshtml.

Michael excuse my ignorance, but could you elaborate please, not sure what the goals are. (reducing the need for proprietary plug-ins/tools sounds great.) Are you considering an open cross platform friendly solution?

Just curious that's all.

Hi Michael,

As I configure my own interface by editing the HTML UI files, I am also interested in what this means. So would it still be HTML? Would I still be able to go in and create my own tabs with commands and icons?

Thanks.
