Thank you Micheal for your feedback, you are very nice and thoughtful, I will appreciate your decision and I hope you don't upset with my post.
I understand what you mean and definitely agree with you in many parts, 3dsmax/Maya is a good example of negative side effects from growing too fast and releasing immature beta(pig) releases every year (+ few servicepacks only a week after ;/), honestly Autodesk messed up both Max and Maya.

It's good to see you working on more advanced features and never trying to compete with similar packages, that's a big point to me.
Sadly I find MoI about 2 weeks ago and I'm using Alternate trial version for now, so I don't have much information about MoI's development in the past, I'm so sorry if I judge quickly without much information. (PS I didn't know MoI is your serious business)

Now MoI's dev-cycle and roadmap is more vivid to me.
I'm looking forward to v3 and I'm sure you rock it like always!
Sorry for language again,
Best regards

No problem! For a good overview, check out here:
http://kyticka.webzdarma.cz/3d/moi/doc/V2releasenotes.html

That's a collection of all the release notes for every v2 beta release, by looking over that you can see exactly what happened from version 1 to version 2 - there was quite a lot of stuff added for v2, but with very minimal UI bloat! :)

It won't be too much longer before v3 gets started in a similar way.

There is a discussion thread here about people's top requests for v3:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=3628.1

If you have some particular features that you'd like to see in v3, you could make a top 5 list and post it to that thread - that discussion thread is definitely going to be a major influence for v3 features.


Just jamming lots of features in too rapidly is a pretty surefire way to turn a nice and streamlined UI into a very messy and chaotic one, which is kind of the regular way that programs change. But it's a big focus for MoI to retain it's nice streamlined UI so that's why just plain speed of changes is not particularly a big focus for me...

Thanks,
- Michael

Yup, I've been working on it full time for the past 7 years.

Some people assume that since it is easy to use that it must have been easy to create as well, but the funny thing is that it's exactly the opposite - it takes a lot lot more design effort to make something easy to use than just piling features together.

Completely understand and Agree with everything you said above, good to know I have this chance to make 5 wishes for MoI 3!
I love Genius minds with high self-esteem, lots of respect to you!
Cheers
