Hi Metin,

Thanks for sharing your Shortcuts!

See you.

My pleasure, Marco, and thank you too!

Hello Metin,

Just a side note....

I've seen your "Greenhouse effect" illustration on your web site.

Aaaahhhhhhhhh LOL :) :)

best,

@Metin
Your 3D Voxels images are very pleasant! :)
Did you use Qubicle, MagicaVoxel.. ?

---

Thank you very much, Marco and Pilou, much appreciated!

Pilou, I started the voxel work around 2004 in 3ds Max, extruding quad polygons by fixed amounts, using the grid. As far as I know there were no dedicated voxel editors available in those days.

The first voxel editor I found was Paint3D for Windows. I used that for a number of years, and also helped develop it with feature suggestions and testing. But the programmer has discontinued development by now.

When I moved over to the Mac, I started using Cubicle and MagicaVoxel. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. There's also a third option, VoxelShop, but that's using a Java environment. I prefer native applications if possible. I'm really looking forward to the native Mac version of MoI V4 for that matter.

All the best,

---

<< As far as I know there were no dedicated voxel editors available in those days.
Seems 3D Coat has some voxels functions! ;)

---

Hahaha, yes, and ZBrush too. :D

By the way, you can do quite nice voxel modeling using ZModeler's QMesh.

It's been quite a while since I've posted my last MoI keyboard shortcuts. I've just revised them once again. Yes, this is a never-ending quest to find my ultimate keyboard shortcuts. :)

Below is my latest update, copied from the MoI.ini configuration file. I'm looking forward to seeing your (latest) MoI keyboard shortcuts posted in this thread, thanks in advance.

New to Moi and some of these commands/scripts have been super useful. Does anyone know the command to frame all objects in camera and also the command to frame the selection? These are 2 keys that I use all the time in Modo/Maya and miss them in Moi. thanks!

---

Hey Ariel,

I think this is it :

script:moi.view.resetAll();

I have set it to space and spam it all day long. One tap focuses on selection, second tap focuses on all objects.

---

Works great, thanks nameless! One thing: even thought it's way more useful as a new user to have both modes as a toggle for 2 different things (zoom extents all and zoom on selected), I'd still like to know if there's a way to have these as 2 separate commands because of built-in muscle memory from other apps I use.

---

Hey Ariel- I totally feel you about muscle memory. Unfortunately I just "parroted" a mini script that Michael had shared a while back and I ended up using, so I have no idea how you could split it to selection/all framing.

---

Hi ariel, there isn't currently any way to have zoom extents all and zoom on selected as separate keys. But I have added in an optional parameter so for the next v4 beta you'll be able to do script:moi.view.resetAll( 'all' ); or script:moi.view.resetAll( 'selected' ); to do that.

- Michael

---

Thanks Michael. Just amazing support! When is v4 coming out?

---

Hi ariel, well there will be a new v4 beta next week. Then there will be one more beta before the final one. I don't know exactly when the final will be finished but it's coming up.

- Michael

---

Awesome. Thanks again!

Hi eric, sorry for the delay - I have had to work on some business side of things the past week or so. The company that handles order processing for me is phasing out their original checkout page at the end of this month so I've had to do some work on transitioning to a new version. That has delayed me from releasing the next v4 beta a bit. It's just about ready though but there is one remaining crash bug that I would like to get fixed but it is difficult to reproduce.

- Michael

---

Thanks Michael ...
I do understand ... my car quit running yesterday and I had to cancel all my current meetings.
Stuff happens ..
cheers,
eric

---

What is the command for: View > Display Hidden Lines ?
I 'd like to put it in my shortcut. Thanks in advance...
