""""" well there is also a rabbit JoJo"""""""

ahhhh. Every company has a funny bunny. You have to ignore that one to get any real work done..

"""""""""I have an org chart on my wall that does show that she's my manager.""""""""""

Yeah, I knew you were smart..........

Thank you! As the friend said.

$ 20-30 will be a lot of people began to buy genuine.
New features, upgrades, continue to pay 5-10$ dollars it would be very popular.
Please select a very convenient way to pay (CHINA)

A material / texture library MOI2 users (paid 10 $ opening)
Set up a special MOI2 learning site
Three-dimensional model library MOI2 users (paid 10 $ opening)
Rendering, VARY
I believe MIO2 to over three million users, (CHINA)

---Analysis,
MOI2 rendering, lighting, plug-in for more improvements.
MOI2 low price, easy to learn, rapid spread and occupy the market, and launched a series of paid services.

China has ten million students at school, they are eager to come out MOI2
China's weak intellectual property protection, designers $ 120-400, inflation, twenty more taxes, welfare is poor, life is stressful.
Stressed in a certain area MOI2 best ! Model / Toy / interior decoration

Chinese students began to try [（80%） of the interior decoration and real estate development]
(CAD → sketchup6.0 → 3dmax)
MOI2 is a revolutionary invention!

Wow Michael ... what a great opportunity.
You could be a dead millionaire from the stress of having to handle all the questions posed by the millions of new users. :)
cheers,

Hi Aramis, the problem is that I don't think that I really want to have 3 million users of MoI - the things that people do with MoI are complex enough that it would not be possible for me to support that volume of people just all by myself.

I would need to grow the company in size, hire a lot of people, spend a lot of my time in meetings and in management related activities... That's a lot of stuff that I don't like to do, so to me that would actually seem like a way to ruin my business, not really an improvement.

Although I would like for MoI to become more popular and more widely used over time, the kind of thing that you're talking about wiht a very low price like $20 and a very high volume like millions of users, is not really what I would like to do. There would especially need to be a big focus on marketing with that kind of strategy and that's pretty much one of the business areas that I dislike working in the most.

So I'm sorry, but the plan that you describe does not at all fit in well with my own goals...

- Michael

Thank you for your answer! Teacher!

To meet this economy.（china)
I would buy genuine.

This is just a suggestion. I hope you and your company will be better.

If possible!
Willing to promote (MOI), write tutorials and books.
(MOI) should create a model library, and bundled into (MOI), the more competitive. Greatly simplifies the designer's work. Can get rid of Google (Sketchup6.0)

Teacher! I did not expect (MOI) also has a (dimmer) (simple rendering) function.
Very simple and very good!
MOL2 really is a great software!
Work hard! As you pay tribute! Great software programmers!

Hi eric,

Yeah, that doesn't sound particularly great... :)

At one point in my programming career, I was interested in working on software that would impact millions of people and I went to Microsoft and got a chance to do that.

But there is a tendency to get isolated from the users in that kind of situation, and it actually ends up like you hardly feel you know anything about any of the users. I really wanted to get away from that type of thing with MoI.

- Michael

(MOI) is a very good (3D) software, I recommend it to two friends, trying to study together to master it. They were surprised: "ratio (Rhino) more comfortable, the interface is pretty cute! " try to Translation Studies. I do not know what to say, hey! ^~^!
Want it more perfect and powerful, (MOI)will be very successful software!
Software as simple as possible! (MOI)to meet this standard! ! !

Hi Aramis, yes there's actually a connection between MoI and Rhino since I'm the one that originally created Rhino.

So in various ways I've been able to use my past experience with creating Rhino to make some improvements and better UI design in many areas when I started completely from scratch with MoI.

Rhino has more of an overall focus of being similar to AutoCAD, and that can work really well for people who have spent a lot of time in AutoCAD, they will probably feel at home very quickly.

But for people who have not spent a lot of previous time working with AutoCAD much of the AutoCAD type stuff like a command line interface can be a lot more difficult to learn initially, it's kind of archaic in several ways.

MoI is designed to be more friendly to people who may not have any CAD background at all.

So they are kind of targeted at some fairly different kinds of users - Rhino is more focused on a more technical user. Rhino has a much larger quantity of tools in it, which can definitely be useful, but also the huge number of tools can also add to the overall difficulty for beginning users.

MoI and Rhino can work very well used in combination with one another actually - you can actually do Ctrl+C copy and Ctrl+V paste to move data back and forth between them, and you can do stuff like draw things in MoI and move your data over to Rhino when you need to use some particular specific tool that's in Rhino only right now.

Do you care to casually mention what you worked on for these years??? Only curiosity here.....

Hi Burr,

> Do you care to casually mention what you worked on
> for these years??? Only curiosity here.....

Nothing tremendously exciting - I first worked on a huge project for several years that was then canceled and never released, and then after that I worked on some UI infrastructure and some e-mail tools for the MSN client software (MSN Explorer).

Microsoft doesn't really focus on making software to be used for artistic creation though, and that's one thing that I really missed.

I did learn a whole lot of new stuff while I was there and got to work with a lot of great people, so it was good for me in a lot of ways too, just for the long term it is more fun for me to do my own thing if possible.

- Michael

Thanks.. I'm certainly glad you are doing your own thing!!!! lol

I figured the mshtml host revalation was spawned out of that time period.. Something like an "AHA" moment...

Anyway, was just curious.... :o

Hi 张树栋,

What is paper molding?

Hi Burr,

> I figured the mshtml host revalation was spawned out of that time period..

Yup, that was when I became accustomed to using mshtml for desktop software UI.

For MoI v3 though I'm shifting away from mshtml and instead to WebKit.
