When you export from MoI to one of these polygon mesh formats, MoI will dice up its smooth surfaces into smaller polygon facets to create a polygon mesh. It's a significantly different way of structuring an object than a polygon mesh method, which is the kind of data that is contained in.

MoI is focused on modeling using NURBS objects, which are made up of smooth curves and surface patches. Getting quality 3D accelerated video drivers seems to be a significant issue on Linux currently though. Right now a Linux specific version is not planned, but the current v3 Windows version beta will run under Linux using Wine as long as you have good enough video drivers. Also for the command to run your shortcut key should contain just the plain command name as described above, no file extension and no script: prefix at the front.Ī Mac version has just been released, announcement here. js files should be directly contained inside MoI's commands folder and not nested down in any sub-folder beneath commands. The command name is the base name of the files that you copied, so if a plug-in has files name ExamplePlugin.htm and ExamplePlugin.js, when you copy those into the commands folder it will make a command named ExamplePlugin available, so when you set up the shortcut key put in: ExamplePlugin as the command name. To trigger the new command set up a shortcut key and put in the new command name in the 'command' part of the shortcut key.

Once the files are copied into the commands folder that will make a new command available to MoI. ~/Library/Application Support/Moi/commands On Mac from a Finder window, go to the menu and pick Go > 'Go to folder' and type in: On Windows you can find the Moi appdata folder by typing Win+R to bring up the Windows 'Run' dialog and then type in: It is recommended to copy plugins to the appdata folder so that new versions of MoI that you install will find them without needing any additional copying. Starting with MoI v4, MoI will now look for commands in 2 places, the commands folder inside the MoI application and also in the appdata Moi commands folder.

To install the plug-in you need to unzip it and then copy those 2 files into MoI's commands folder.
