Hi,

Rotating the orthographic projections is awesome. I don't many vector program that allows this kind action.

It's good news for me as I really like the sketch tool in Moi. This combined with selection methods and trimming/joining mechanish is just better than other vector applications I use.

This computer look interesting Indeed! Are the screen viewing angles good?


Marc

Hi Mark, the screen viewing angles couldn't be better.

> But will a pen stylus + touch tablet become the common form factor?

Well, with the number of next gen windows tablets being touch and pen + The thriving and innovative stylus market for android and IOS capacitive touch screen devices + the amount of art and drawing apps available, I would say that people want to draw. Currently, The best way to draw is with a pressure sensitive pen.. Until we are all wearing Head mounted displays and screens go in the landfills, UIs should be evolving and adapting to the best input methods.. keeping up with the latest will at least keep you in the running for the big jumps ahead.

Note: The head mounted display thing Is going to happen faster than most people think. My bet is that wearable display technology will be the fastest adopted technology in history. Faster than the smart phone. When did the first IPhone come out again? I believe that now is the time for Software developers to start thinking about what collaborative Augmented reality Uis look like through hmds. There is a gold mine of valuable IP just waiting to pan out for those that have vision.

You may remember that you thought I was crazy a few years from now. :-) Make sure to come back here and comment while you wear your glasses. :)

Nice Video there i own the 500T myself, they are incredible machine.

Samsung Ativ Series.

Cool.. I am going to be getting my hands on a 500T this week in order to fit a case to it. I design cases btw.. Take a look at the one I designed for the 700t. Check out the demo video below..

http://youtu.be/xvtAcGLbcwM


I am actually about to make the version for the 500t available for purchase from my web site.. I'm doing a production run of about 40 cases starting this week..

Let me know if you want one!

Thanks,

Isaiah Coberly

There is some pressure on all these screens with the graphic pen ?

I saw the video, very neat case you got there.

I have look at the video and the idea for the case is amazing. I saw in the web site the price for it, 99$Us right?

I might get one since I am looking for a case since I got this new toy.

Great video, cool way of using MoI...

Maybe you know this but you can just do a boolean union instead of trimming on cases like the one on the video and for cutting the wave on the top of the leave you can do so on the ortho view by selecting the extruded leave and using boolean difference to cut with the curve...

This video just sold me on MoI. I have been using Sketchup with a bunch of plugins and am so used to it that it's very fast for me. However, I will need a tool that does proper 3D solid modeling (for analysis) and Sketchup won't cut it there. This video illustrates EXACTLY what I want to do. Once I get my new Windows 8 Surface Pro, I'm going to buy MoI.

I also have a 700t. Is this version of MOI available to download? I'd love to play with it.

Are you using anything like Artdock?

Looks great!

Paul

Hi Paul, it's not quite ready for download yet, it will be in the next v3 beta.

Hi Michael,

I just realised what was going on here, a multitouch MoI, how cool is that!
I commend you in your ability to keep up with the latest hardware offerings, new ports, maintain and release new stuff for MoI, you are one of a kind, thank you for your efforts in making a lot of people's hobbies and work so enjoyable.

Just wondering if we would be modelling 'Minority Report' style in the future, it's very close with this controller https://www.leapmotion.com/

It could be nice to use the screen rotation feature with a special keyboard shortcut, while pressed the stylus movement would control rotation.

This way users could take advantage of this feature on older tablets or cintiq that doesn't have touch input.

Marc

Hi Marc,

> It could be nice to use the screen rotation feature with a special keyboard shortcut,

I've just set up a scriptable method that can be called to do this too, so you'll be able to set it on a keyboard shortcut to do a spin without multi-touch.

You'll push whatever shortcut you assign the script to, then click down in a viewport which defines the center point and keep the button pressed and drag around in a circle around that center point to spin.

This very cool, thanks Michael!

As I said before I dig the sketch tool in MoI and will certainly find this feature useful.
Just yesterday I used MoI to redraw this sketch as a part of an ongoing illustration :

Lovely illustration there Marc!

Michael, I would like to use this device do you think it could work in the same way as the one you are using in your video?

Yes, as far as I can tell it's a Windows 8 multitouch machine so it should be able to do those same gestures.
