Hi,

I'm new moi3d user.I worked on some design project and when I finish it,it was to ask the money reward or something else for my computer.I decide it to invest in my modeling skills.I'm blender user too,and I like to work both in polygonal modeling and with nurbs tools.I worked 6 years ago as packaging industrial designer,and learned then to work with nurbs in Rhinoceros 3.0.Today I'm selling my 3d models created in blender3d on the3dstudio,turbosquid,etc.That is why I invest eraned money in moi3d,except working on design projects.It was too expensive for me to get rhino,so when I tried moi3d beta I promissed myself I will get me this tool someday.I learned to work with moi3d pretty quick,cause I could use experience from rhinoceros.Also I learned a lot thanx to your forum and tutorials.Must say I like to work with moi3d ,more then with rhinoceros,even there are more tools in rhino.

Awesome tool you made Michael,keep it up the good work.It is awesome tool for people like me on a budget.

Except moi3d I tried to enter in to linux ubuntu 11.10.I can say blender 3d renderings working much faster in ubuntu then in win xp,and I'v got used to work in linux.
Now about my question.I followed some directions from your forum topics about getting work moi3d in ubuntu.Today I tried some tricks from your member,and I'm getting everything,but not the windows for creating the objects.Below is my image attachment.I would appreciate if you could help me,off course if it is possible.
I used winetricks and installed d3dx9_43 , gdi plus , ie8

I have ATI radeon 2600 HD graphic card,intel core2duo processor and 2gb of RAM memory

I also posting one of my first tryouts with moi3d a new iphone 4s created from a photo references.Enjoy and if you like give me some feedbacks and critics about my work.

Thanx in advance

Hi nikola, I'm glad that you are enjoying MoI, and your iPhone model looks really great!

re: Ubuntu problem - that definitely looks like the Wine Direct3D system is having some problem with some function with your graphics driver.

Getting a stable 3D graphics driver seems to be a pretty big problem with Linux in general, if you have an older driver currently installed you might try installing a more current version to see if that solves the problem. Wine needs some fairly new OpenGL functions from the card and it looks like your video driver is having some problems with the particular functions that it uses.

If you're using the latest version 3 beta, then you shouldn't need to do any of this, the current v3 release is set to run with Wine right out of the box without any further things needing to be installed, but it needs to have a good functioning video driver in order to work properly.

Hi Michael

I tried to install the latest drivers for my ati graphic card in linux.I have the same problems even with moi V3.My opinnion is that linux supports nvidia
graphic cards better then ati graphics.Maybe to change my video card would be the solution?

Anyway Thanx for your quick reply and your feedbacks about my work.For now I will fly from windows to linux.
I'm very persistent so maybe something will come out in the future.

Regards Nikola

It's possible... it does seem that others that have had success running MoI on Ubuntu before were using nVidia cards.

There is a previous discussion thread here:

This is true. I am also running MoI V3 beta in Linux (Mint 12) without a hitch and no winetricks. Generally if you get problems like you show in your screen shot its because of bad video drivers. Update to the latest drivers. If that doesn't work then delete the .wine directory in your home folder and re-install MoI without any winetricks. Better still, create a new wine prefix just for Moi.
