Thomas would it be possible for you to record few events at Siggraph, so that we mortals can see Amapi in action also

Butch · 13th June 2007, 23:46

Also when will you post some movies on new stuff...

VertexSpline · 14th June 2007, 00:06

Light at the end of the tunnel...........fabulous news Thomas.........sounds like some nice fun end of summer/fall for all.

Sketchy · 14th June 2007, 01:43

Hmmm... Siggraph will be in August. The public beta will be at the end of the month or early July. That means by the time it will be shown at Siggraph, the bugs have already been quashed. Which means the final version will likely to be released in August or September. I'm not in a hurry, though, but can't wait to play with the beta.

I could tolerate some bugs here and there. No application is perfect. Not a single app I could think of is bug-free. Bring it on! Let's do some serious modeling with the beta.

Butch · 14th June 2007, 09:26

Ohhh Sketchy, you said it so nicely

Thomas · 14th June 2007, 18:44

I hope to be able to post some more screenshots and movies soon, but currently, I'm far from the ofice until tomorrow for an important trade show around Anime Studio with a very limited internet access (and when it works...) and also, I'm working hard to finish a lot of stuf around Amapi for this public beta.

WillBellJr · 14th June 2007, 19:42

I hope you guys hurry cause with MOI finn'n to drop soon, peeps are ready to purchase NOW since it's so good!

I'm interested in MOI as well but Amapi 8 might tilt my wallet if it's more polygon friendly with exporting its NURBS objects.

After purchasing MOI, my thirst would be satisfied for a while (and I'm sure a few others would feel this way as well...)

You took the words right out of my mouth. Hurry, Thomas, MoI is almost ready.

Thomas · 15th June 2007, 07:54

MoI is MoI and Amapi is Amapi ;)

shoeach · 15th June 2007, 11:30

Yes, MOI is MOI. And Amapi is Amapi.

I know that MOI is cool NURBS modeling application, but I don’t do it. Because I love Amapi.

I know many beautiful ladies, but I love my wife.

MoI is for Windows only =( But I like the sketchy style of the screen shots.

What's about the new drawing capabilities, Thomas mentioned before? I guess we will see them in the beta.

Sketchy · 15th June 2007, 13:36

I read somewhere that the MOI developer was not really selling it to the public. Instead, he's waiting for Google to gobble it up for a hefty sum just like SketchUp was devoured.

That's true. MOI is MOI, Amapi is Amapi. MOI is good I agree with that. But don't forget that MOI has no poly tools. Amapi has lots of goodies: The powerful Dynamic Geometry, Universal Manipulator, the swiping when dropping the tool, Stretch tool, and lots more. My suggestion: buy them both.

Hello!

Amapi is the best 3D modeler for me.
It is greatly excited when reading this thread.

enjoy Amapi 8 being released.

Nate Owens · 16th June 2007, 23:35

As Thomas said... Moi is Moi and Amapi is Amapi.

I have had and used Rhino for years (including the current release) and I don't see any problems with having both Rhino and Amapi. I am looking forward to the new release of Amapi, particularly because IMO the interface is more user-friendly and it has a lot of nice new features.

Moi looks good, but seems redundant if you already have Rhino.

If Thomas has his hand in developing Amapi, it has to be gold.

Frenchy Pilou · 16th June 2007, 23:49

Is not a marvelous world?

So numerous new Nurbs Modelers for every taste !

What do you want more?

And "Bon voyage to San Diego"

If they could roll Hexagon, Rhino, MudBox, ZBrush, Carrara, and Ultimate UnWrap all into one it would be great. Right now it might be called Blender, but it would also have to have a manageable learning curve and an interface that was understandable....

Dream, dream, dream....

One thing is for sure - - 3D is getting cooler day-by-day, and Amapi plays a big roll in the process.

Well, errrm... I'm not the only one behind Amapi

. You will also see some additions and improvments during the public beta phase.
