right.. that's what i figured but just asking to be sure.

they're in FL, im in NYC.. there would be times i'm sure when both the windows and osx version are open at the same time.

but they bought my indigo and sketchup licenses (as well as their own) [and have said they'll transfer one of their rhino licenses to me when that time comes because rhino is too confusing for them :-)) ]
so maybe i can line up two sales for you via them :)
otherwise, i'll just get my own personal license as i'm itching to bring moi into my designflow..


thanks for the info.

@Jeff : and I believe that you can put your Moi version on USB key!

FYI. Not to be outdone by the machine, I was able to get Moi working on my little black mac by setting the offscreen rendering mode to "backbuffer" instead of "fbo" which seems to be the default.

Will test some more later on...

That's great news Luis!

It turns out that it was kind of accidental that it was actually doing offscreen rendering at all, I think I will have something to send you in a bit here which tweaks a couple of other things.

But it does look like it's going to be possible to get it to work there after all.

I'll also tune it up so that if your card doesn't support fbo it will turn that offscreen rendering mode to "backbuffer" by default.

But basically it was trying to use fbos because it thought it was rendering at one size and then going to later on display the final result in a different sized window than the rendering when that's not really what happens. Now that I've got that fixed up it doesn't worry about trying to use fbos or offscreen rendering at all which should simplify things.

Hi Michael,

I cannot send you a pm. The system is blocking it with an opted out msg.

Seems that my PM space was filled up, I've freed up some room can you please try again?

Thanks,

no love still. pm not working. could be me. but i've logged out and logged back in a few times...

Hi Luis, can you send me an e-mail at moi@moi3d.com instead?

Thanks,

Just wanted to confirm that besides the window-lags from time to time on resize – It runs smooth as a catweasel. Love it.

The load / save / file dialogs coud be integrated better, but hey – it works .. :D

Hi SW03, thanks for testing it!

Yeah that's probably the single weirdest part right now - I do plan on overhauling these to use the native OSX file dialogs, and I'll also try to tune up the window sizing as well.

Of course in the grand scheme of things it's not so common to resize the window as it is to do stuff like rotate and pan the views, so it's good that the much more heavily used area of the regular screen redraw is working smoothly already.

I'm a bit late to the party but, a Mac OS version, Michael?! This is amazing and it will be great for Mac users who did not want to bootcamp, etc. to Moi.

To me, Moi is sort of a professional paradox: with Moi it is possible to do serious work, in less time and have fun doing it.

Congrats, Michael.

Thanks Leonard, I'm glad that you've been having fun using MoI!

And yup, I've definitely heard from people who did not want to go through the hassle of setting up bootcamp or Parallels/VMWare (although quite a few people did do that too) so this new version should be helpful since it doesn't need any of that.

- Michael

I attached what i described above with named objects for easier understanding, thanks for your support!

I think your talking about this:

Are you kidding me? This is amazing! Been using it a few day and seems to work perfectly. Thanks for the great work.

-Shane

You're welcome Shane, I'm glad that it's working well for you!

I've been working on some updates to it and making some progress, I've nearly got the native OSX file open and save dialogs working properly and then I have just a few other things to fix up before releasing a new updated OSX beta.

- Michael

Thanks Michael, that is great news.

Is there a way to be notified of the new build or should I just check back here from time to time?

It really feels like a native app other than the OS X dialogs that you mentioned and a few other very minor things like the Windows hot keys for copy & paste and command +Q not working.

Very excited you were able to make this happen!

Thanks,

-Shane

I don't really have any method set up to get an e-mail notification for stuff like that, so just checking back here every once in a while is the best way to find out about it.

Yup, copy & paste using the Cmd key and Cmd+Q are on my list to address as well.

- Michael

I successfully finished the first test project :)
Nothing to report besides what has already been said...I´m looking forward for the the next Beta with native OSX file dialogs.
