Subdivide beta by Max Smirnov

Yet work only for 3,4,5 polygons!

A trick

Pentagons isn't supported in fast mode. (but will be in Accurate mode)

Man...I didn't know MOI....I've been playing around with it and this is what SketchUp should have been....

It's not great for architectural stuff though. Of course it can be done, but it's a solid modeller for products mainly. And when it comes to that, it's in a different league to SketchUp.

For those who want export Components from Moi3D to Sketchup
(Moi has not yet instances)
I have found a trick for have instancied Components inside Sketchup !

A big thanks to Thomthom who permit this miracle!

Pilou, is there some kind of Layout for MOI?

pilou · 23 Mar 2015, 07:49

@ Jql: Not yet, maybe sizing in the V 4.0 !

I absolutely loved the way the modeling is performed on the videos you put on the thread. I can't live without the SU+LO workflow though. Even with all it's flaws, it's the best thing that happened to me since a long time.

MOI modelling though... is very good looking.

It could be a nice addition to the arsenal but I don't like switching to and from a lot of software as I like to model without a break. This MOI is really sexy but I think this might be the greatest advantage of SU over MOI or other software for me.

With SU (specially now with 64 bits) I can have a hub model where everything falls into place and all my needed output can be created I mean:

Model with SU;
Render with Thea inside SU;
Walkthrough with SU;
Texture creation with Gimp;
Post pro with Gimp but I'm switching to Krita wich is impressive and has 16 to 32 bit support. (If I could had the normalmap maker plugin to Krita I'd ditch Gimp);
And then 2D output with Layout;
Nanocad just for fixing cad exports when people complain and prepare dwg for import into SU.

The day MOI or anyother will do all this it's the day SU starts to be questioned in my office.

I'll keep wanting to model that way though and I'll keep peeping at this post.

You can try also something who is between SU and Moi3D (it's free and has SKP export)

DesignSpark 64 Bits (who is formerly SpaceClaim light) so Sketchup on Steroïds!

You can load Billions of Free Objects or create from zero!

Here an Object that I have loaded then you can modify it to the infinite!

Then reloaded in Su after modifications!

Thanks Pilou

I also seen you post that one. It seems very good for components that you can model independently from your sketchup model. However I really have to model most stuff inside SU as my models are architectural. It's another one wich feels like having all the right modelling tools but lack all the juice one needs.

It might be worth the look as it's got a very inteligent push/pull tool. I don't understand why sketchup developers don't put a greater effort towards developing existing tools. It's not that pushpull is not a cool 3D starting method, it's just that the only advanced thing you can do with it is duplicating a face (wich gets a lot of reversed face errors by the way).

MOI and that one really are examples to follow and I do believe that if they'd have half the popularity of Sketchup... Maybe Trimble won't let it Tremble.
