Hi I'm sure that my hardware must be the guilty one, but i have some problems with the reaction time of the commands, seems that they get stuck for couple of seconds and then they work fine, (this happens when i want to activate a command, for example: trim or fillet) but in general once is running i have no problem zooming or panning or moving parts around.

Amazing Interface, great stability and perfect for concept design (using Nurbs).

Thanks and many congratulations for your work it's amazing!

1.5 Ghz Pentium 4
512 Ram
ATI Radeon 8500

Thanks very much for the feedback!

Hmmm, that hardware is definitely on the low end of the spectrum, but if it runs well after the initial hiccup, I think that there is a very good chance that it can be tuned up to work more smoothly.

A couple of initial questions:

Are you running on Win2k or WinXP?

Does this happen on every single command, even simple ones like line or delete? Or do you notice it only on some specific commands?

One last thing - do you notice it when you launch another command while another one is still running? Please try to cancel out of any currently running command before launching the new one, and let me know if that seems to work better.

I have a couple of ideas on some things, I will try to add some stuff to the next beta that might help me diagnose what is happening on your system.

Thank you for your help on this!

Hi Michael,

I'm using WinXp Home SP2, I will check what you mention and let you know how is working.

Thanks

Hi Michael,

I used moi and still having the problem when selecting a tool (ie. circle or extrude) it does not respond for a sec or two, but besides that in general it works fast and seems very stable (graphics).

I have to say that is the best application that makes the best use of the openNurbs toolkit, no other software's that i have used reads rhino files like this, you did a great job with the toolkit from rhino. i think the rhino guys are going to be very impressed

i have few questions about moi:

Is there a mirror command?
Is on your plans to add support for free render engines? or maybe a direct save to blender?, I'll comment on this because I haven't found a true option to render nurbs (the meshes "under" the nurb), rhino has flamingo but is not good enough on my opinion, and converting rhino files to mesh files is not a major problems but for sure i would like to get rid of the translation step, sometimes this takes a lot of work.

Thanks and great work, I think you'll be very busy at siggraph.

cheers!

> Is there a mirror command?

I just added one, you can download the new Jul-23 version and it should have a mirror command now. Mirroring can be kind of slow right now, I'll see if I can fix it up to work faster after Siggraph.

I have a couple of changes in the Jul-23 version that might help with this, but I'm not sure. Please let me know if it is still happening with the new version.

One other idea - are you running any kind of anti-virus or anti-spyware checkers? If you are, can you please try turning them off temporarily and see if that solves the problem or not?


I'm glad that the Rhino file compatibility is working well for you!

I'm afraid that I probably won't be able to get these features in to the V1 release of MoI... The V1 release is going to be focused very much on just creating geometry and not on rendering at all yet. I expect to add more rendering-related features in future versions.

Thank you very much!!
