Hi Michael, I've been running into the insufficient memory issue as well, despite having 100GB of RAM.

I've followed the steps above (limiting to one proc, exporting in small chunks, etc) and they've helped - to a certain extent. At a certain point some models are just too complex.

Any chance we're closer to a 64-bit version, that can take full advantage of my RAM?

Thanks!

Hi Justin, yes a 64-bit version v4 beta release is not too terribly far off now, it's difficult for me to estimate how long very precisely so any estimate is probably wrong but my best guess despite that would be 3 or 4 months from now.

Just yesterday I've completed porting all the file IO libraries for stuff like skp, pdf, dxf, 3ds, and fbx formats. So that was actually a pretty big milestone.

The biggest single area left is the viewport display code. I have some miscellaneous loose ends to tie up first then I'll be left with the viewport display as the last big chunk of work to do.

Same issue here. Any ideas when it's going to be released? :)
Thanks!

No specific target date yet, but my "todo" list for it is getting quite short now.

Hi Michael,
I just found this awesome piece of software. Any word on the 64-Bit version. I like others am running into memory issues.

Fred

Hi Fred, re: 64-bit version - I'm getting really close to releasing the first 64-bit v4 beta. I'm targeting the end of this month for the release. I think I'll be able to hit that target but it's possible it could take another week longer.

- Michael

Hi Michael,
That is awesome!!
Are you planning on making the beta available to users? I would love to participate.

Fred

P.S. I wouldn't mind even giving an alpha a test-drive. Your program is brilliant.

Hi Fred, yes the v4 beta will be open to all v3 users. You won't have to do any special application for it, there will be a web page where you'll be able to put in your v3 license key to download it.

Hi Michael,
I am new to the software and am still in the trial period. Is it possible to go ahead and buy the new version to participate in the beta?

Fred

Hi Fred, I'm sorry but no I don't have any way set up to purchase the new version in advance. It won't be until after the v4 beta period is over and there is a final release out that v4 will be able to be purchased.

- Michael

Hi ..
I would suggest that you purchase V3 now and then you can participate in the entire year of so of the new beta before V4 is actually released.
MoI 3d is an absolutely wonderful modeling program and the Forum the best forum I have ever seen. I have been using MoI for years and could not live without it.
I'm really looking forward to participating in V4 beta.

Hi Eric,
That looks like what I will be doing.

Thanks,
Fred

My learnings in case it helps anyone else....

Indended work flow
Solidworks exported as STEP, MOI converts to lovely quads in FBX import to Cinema4D

Insufficient memory thing really hampered anything complex.

Exporting IGES from Solidworks instead of STEP gave me very similar results in the end, but was much less susceptible to the 'insufficient memory' barrier

Love Moi, really hope we see V4 soon

Hi all,

regarding "insufficient memory" issue...

It helps me a lot to change setting of "ThreadLimit=" to "ThreadLimit=1" in moi.ini file. It works probably only one core of processor, export is slower, but I hadn't no problem with memory.
