Features
Helper programs
These are small stand-alone programs that add further functionality to MoI.[1]
- Obj23dmWireframe converter - enables bringing polygon data in an .obj file into MoI to use as a construction guide.
- 3dmCurves2DXF converter - enables converting curves from .3dm to .dxf format, to help export data from MoI to some CAM programs.
- SeparateOBJ editor - enables editing an .obj file to break objects down into smaller pieces to help with material assignment in some other programs such as Poser, HyperShot, and Bryce.
- MergeOBJ editor - enables editing an .obj file to combine all the different objects in it into one single object.
- Blender importer - a custom Blender .lwo import script written by Anthony D'Agostino to enable exporting data from MoI to Blender while preserving the accurate vertex normals to get high quality smooth shading.
