more tools for engineers. LOL

-array (either by angle, centerpoint, spacing, etc.)
-bend
-divide space (equally, by a number, etc.-sort of an offshoot to array)
-printed manual for $10 postpaid in the USA

Cheers,

Chris

Hi Chris, just a quick note re: Array

The already existing Transform > Array > Circular command lets you create an array by an angular distribution around a centerpoint:



And the Transform > Array > Curve command next to it can create an array by evenly divided spaces as traveled along a path curve:




Some more information on these here:

Hi Michael ...

My top five would include:

Dimensioning, text and line weight control (so I could use MoI as a drafting tool as well as a modeling tool) ... I guess that's 3
Printing from within MoI
Extrude is beautiful ... sometimes I would like to reverse extrude a face instead of having to trim with boolean difference.

MoI is wonderful for modeling ... I use it more and more for illustrating structures to clients ... it might be nice to be able to print to 3d pdf but that has already been discussed.

cheers,
eric

I think my #1 feature for MoI would be a really basic renderer.
Something that can render a curve or a surface to a transparent PNG.

Also, export to SVG would be nice.

Hello,

Even at this point MoI's 2D output is exceptional. Waiting for the icing on the cake in 2011. Some better filleting would be welcome, but I suppose that is more dependent on the library than MoI itself.

2 things I would like (not easy)

1) Variable radius fillet
2) Surface continuity matching e.g. for Network patch, sweep, loft.

Variable radius fillet has been on my list for a long time...
Deformation tools would be a welcome addition as well

Can a new user place a request for a V3 change? Hope so.

I am big on desktop customization and having two 24" monitors I would find that the ability to show all the tabs on the command palette opened at the same time to be very sweet (or as toolbars that can be docked or undocked).

Hi,

I would love to see a simple renderer attached to MoI as well - having to deal with all the complexity (and flexibility) of large packages like Modo or C4D is not always necessary.

I would suggest looking into adding a simple exporter to Luxrender scene format; it's plain text and fairly uncomplicated. I would even say that writing UI for it would be harder than the export itself. :-)

Hi Michael;

How about rotate option so each element in array can be rotated similar to the Scale Array script.

Thanks

Sharif

Hi Sharif - don't forget that this thread is about your top 5 requests for v3.

Is that rotate array element the #1 request that you'd like to see as a new feature in v3?

Hi Michael;

Here is my top 5 wishes for V3 in order of importance:

1. Object Grouping
2. Array group that can be edited later
3. Surface Paneling
4. Be able to Rotate and scale array elements as part of command (no script)
5. Improve scene Browser ( I have some ideas, see attached file )

Thanks

Sharif

Must I point out 5 ?
Michael I got one only one big one
I want t splines for Moi.... ! Yes and its Christmas today so here you go.
Why is that only an option for Rhino users...... ?
I got so many shapes that I´d like to build like subdivision surfaces and join and boolean like nurbs.
that would also avoid many peoples problems with complex shapes and networking.......
plus if we had more ways to make smooth class a objects like car surfaces.... but that a part of
my t spline wish.......
Merry Christmas !
Peter

Hi Peter, well T-splines is a plug-in written by a 3rd party that adds stuff to Rhino.

Plug-ins are built to a specific system - they use various services from the host application and are tightly connected with how the host mechanism is set up (like it's UI, how commands work, etc...) so anyway that's why you can't run t-splines directly on MoI.

It's kind of like how you can't take a water pump out of one car and just stick it in any other car - the connections and how a part like that fits into place are not identical between every kind of car.

Yes but it was Christmas Michael and with Moi3d growing bigger and bigger I thought it would
be a good idea for the T splines people to do something in the direction of Moi3d......
I am running Tsplines for Rhino at the moment (trials)and it imports pretty well into Moi 3d.
Its sort of the question what I miss most in Moi and thats the organic parts thing other then that Moi is pretty
complete already(well there is always room for things to add but...)
Peter

- Improvement in groups and parents
- Dimensioning, text and line weight control (so I could use MoI as a drafting tool as well as a
modeling tool) this is very important to me
- texture support /uvmaping/ :)
- export to dxf or other 2d format
- ability to use tablet pen as drafting tool. it would be nice if i could draw over views just to be able
to fast spin new ideas, now i use snipping tool in win7 and ps :) /i use this techique to put dimen. on my drawings :)
