Sometimes it's very humbling to view all the very talented individual "MoI-inite's" works. But the inspiration from viewing such works far outweighs the feeling of inadequacy and increases one's desire to endeavor to persevere. (Please excuse all the "buzzwords" :-)

All of you are a great inspiration to me!

Thanks for all of your wonderful works!

With my background as a Scout leader, Sunday school teacher and one who is called and "Elmer" in ham radio lingo, nothing gives me better satisfaction then to see a student discover a new skill -
even if that skill seems humble and simplistic to the more seasoned folks.

If you're able to gain anything new for attempting, or even paying attention to one of my tutorials, or anyone else's for that matter, I'm genuinely happy for you!
It's a joyful thing to see someone discover MoI, and know they are glad. It took me 20+ years to discover I could actually make something in 3D. It took SketchUp and MoI to bring that to fruition.
So I'm still a some level "new" as well.

And Michael T., If there is anything you want to know how to build, or something simple that you would like to see a tutorial on. Please don't hesitate to ask. MoI is a product that has a reputation where the customers are supposed to be very happy.

Where is the manual?

<< where is the manual ?

http://moi3d.com/2.0/docs/moi_help.htm ?

No I meant, The Boiler Watch manaul. In Majik manual page is link to this thread, but i can not see manual.

Looks like Mike has left us? or his site is just down or something. Maybe he'll chime in. That would be pretty bad if he comes in, gets a free copy of MoI, then digs out and "deletes" everything on his way out......

c'mon guys!!!

"he comes in, gets a free copy of MoI, then digs out"..you can't be serious about that...

..mike has already earned his MOI license many(manymany...) times by providing proper learning material, workflows and valuable advice.

presumably he is fiddling around with his website..

But there is not special tutorial about this watch except the link of the Moi forum when you click on it!
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=5179.1 (where you are ;)

I know that because I have translated all his tutorials in French ! ;)
http://moiscript.weebly.com/

And his site works fine ;)

Burr!

I hope we share the same knack for impetuous sardonic humor! :-/

If that comment was pointed, then it really stings!
But knowing you, your point is a kind jab in the arm.
So ho'ihi.



I need to let you all know that I'm still the same Moi fanatic, and I have a lot of cool ideas lined up in my head...

I've noticed myself that my involvement on the forum and with tutorials has been nearly non-existent in the last few months, but I do check in once or twice a day to keep up.
Life has dealt me and my family an incredible set of challenges recently, (medical, school, financial) on top of my ever-expanding occupation and other extra-curricular responsibilities that rival work.
So recently I've had to put many things on the back-burner.


The site better darn still work! I am current on the fee...
Sometimes they seem to bring it down, It's on their server end I found out, but I can't complain because they've basically waved the bandwidth and storage limits. (pays to be diplomatic).

Sorry Samardac, I've placed my more proud Moi creations on the site to show off what can be done with Moi3D. I should probably make some kind of clarification. The watch and the radio took two months each for me to create, so turtorials would be impractical.

But if there is some part you would like for me to show you how to make, just ask, and I'll put it at the top of the list!


Yes, I'm still here, and I'm simply floored by the recent additions to the gallery - they're astounding!

Mike

(Mike is still on air)

take care of you Mike !

Hey Mike,

Can you make a real boiler watch, I want one. :)

Impressive work you do and I understand how Real life issue can push you to move hobbies to be the last on the list.

It seem I am always in that situation, family first then else after.

glad to know you are still kicking.

Take care

Hi Mike, sorry to hear about your current challenges - best wishes that you'll get some improvements soon.

- Michael

Hey Majik,
Glad your still around.

""""""Looks like Mike has left us? or his site is just down or something. Maybe he'll chime in.""""""""""""""""

Pretty much the intent of my post.

""""""""""..mike has already earned his MOI license many(manymany...) times by providing proper learning material, workflows and valuable advice.""""""""""""""

Well coi, agreed... But, if his website disappears "AND" he deletes all that material, workflow and valuable advice from the forum, then it kindof defeats the purpose (well, not for you, you already saw it), and as I had written, "that would be pretty bad."

But Alas, he surfaces and his website is there and contains all the previous info.

Funny things forums. I never believed they did very well at conveying emotions. Remember, we're listening to "ourselves" talk when we read them. :o

Thanks guys!

I definitely know what you mean Burr...


I'm an archivist at heart myself.
I hope as long as Moi or anything validly similar is still going, my tutorials endure and continue to increase.

You have no worries, I love my solid-modeling accomplishments way too much not to share.

...but I am starting to feel a little rusty at it... ;-)

I couldn't resist... had to try the watch through the new PDF maker.



Didn't spend much time on it but worked it a little in Corel and Photoshop.


And I found some extra scraps...

Wow these turned out great Mike!
