Hi everyone,

I've long wanted to create this thread and now I did it :)

I've spent many garbage times during the past year to configure Moi to better meet my needs,
and I want to share with you a brief video showing my actual config.

I wish sincerely to thank Chipp Walters, Max Smirnov and Mike Maynard (K4ICY) because without their ideas and plug-ins I could never have customized my Moi.

If any of you want to share his Moi config, you are welcome !!

Here's my brief video : http://take.ms/x7cOY

P.S. I wrote my "Commands Finder", "Commands & Scripts History" and "Script Gallery" with a bunch of javascript and by assembling pieces of Max's code.

Have a nice day,

- Marco (mkdm)

Definitely one hot rod customized interface. I think you have virtually every plugin, script, shortcut, workflow ever developed for MoI. Good thing you know your hotkeys!

Hi chippwalters,

and good morning.

> Good thing you know your hotkeys!

Aaaahhhhhh LOL....yes, in fact I still have a good memory, but I also wrote for myself the "Shortcuts Summary Dialog" (Shift+Z) :) :)

Best,

- Marco (mkdm)

Wow, nice work Marco! I haven't customized MoI yet, but I know from my ever-evolving custom ZBrush UI how a customized interface can be a never-ending journey towards perfection.

The only part of MoI I've customized is the keyboard shortcuts. Here they are:

[Shortcut Keys]
/=script: /* Isolate selection */ moi.geometryDatabase.isolate();

A number of key bindings correspond with either Blender or ZBrush, for convenience.

I decided to start a discussion for sharing your keyboard shortcuts here:

All the best,

Metin

Hi Metin Seven,

and thank you for sharing your hotkeys.

> customized interface can be a never-ending journey towards perfection.

Yeah...you're absolutely right !

P.S. If any of you want to share also a screenshot or a video of his customized Mpoi, you are welcome.

Best,

- Marco (mkdm)

Hello Metin, Hello Marco,

very cool customiziation and a interesting list of shortcuts. I only use a few shortcuts and my only customiziation is a button for hideswap - I wonder that I haven't seen that!?

Have a nice day
Karsten

Hi Karsten,

and thanks for your reply!

> I only use a few shortcuts and my only customiziation is a button for hideswap - I wonder that I haven't seen that!?

What do you mean for "hideswap" ?
...maybe I've already got it into my tools arsenal...it's a very crowded Place... :)

Best,

- Marco (mdkm)

Hello Marco,

http://kyticka.webzdarma.cz/3d/moi/#HideSwap

Very useful when want to hide only a few objects and bring them later back by selection - its like the show/noshow in CATIA.

Have a nice day
Karsten

Hi Karsteen,

Hit and Sunk! Aaaahhhhhh LOL :)

I immediately proceeded to include that shortcut into my workflow !

Ciao,

- Marco (mkdm)
