I am sorry for bringing the thread up:), I am just fascinated by how you can manage this all alone, to bring such a polished program, great work.
I wanted to ask, did you leave RMA on a bad note?, do you still know some people there? and how do they react to moi3d?

What a nice story!
And very interesting. It's a pleasure to hear things like that :-)

Hi olio,

Thanks! Basically it has just taken a whole lot of work - this is now entering into my 6th year of working on this project.


> I wanted to ask, did you leave RMA on a bad note?,

It just seemed like a good time to try something else.


> do you still know some people there?

Well, I worked there for like 6 and a half years, so sure I know a lot of people that work there. But I haven't really been in close contact with them, it was about 10 years or so ago that I left.


> and how do they react to moi3d?

I guess you'd have to ask them!

But it is not a primary goal of MoI to replace Rhino, I'm trying to do somewhat different things but of course there is some overlap.

I call MoI, "the Rhino Usability plugin". :D

Hi Michael,

>> Amiga computer

I guess if you started back then with a
personal computer(PC), you never would have
invented such a user friendly program.
(just a compliment)

Hi Paolo, Amigas were sure a lot of fun back then! So far ahead of their time...

I actually started with computers with a Commodore 64 back in 1983, then later I got interested in 3D graphics on an Amiga.

I did a pretty big switch in college from working on programming an Amiga into learning how to program for Windows, since I thought that would be more commercially applicable.

It was pretty amazing what the Amiga had back in the 80's with multi-tasking, high color graphics, video, etc... all while PCs had CGA screens.

Poor Denise, Agnus and Paula :'(

Ah, Amigas! Warm memories...Stereo Sound!!

Moi's less prone to "guru meditation" though.

Ahh the venerable old C64. A MASSIVE 64k of RAM. Twice that of the BBC, more than its main rival the Spectrum. Real keyboard, built in ports and a dedicated cassette player.

I ended up with 2 floppy disk drives that are bigger than some complete PCs are now :-)

Oh happy days.
