Tutorials      The 3-D Solid Modeling Work of Mike Maynard - K4ICY Cliquer ici pour la version française... The following 3-D models were created in Moment of Inspiration - or "Moi" (pronounced "mo-eye"). Moi 3D is a NURBS based 3-D Design/CAD and solid modeling program created by Michael Gibson of Triple Squid Software Design. It's uniquely simple user interface and construction methods, along with it's easy learning curve make this design program a "must try".                                                                                         See how simple and enjoyable Moi 3D is to use:                              Click on any pic to go to the associated forum page at moi3d.com.   If prompted to Log In you can do so as a "Guest" to view the MoI 3D FORUM pages.  Additional resource files found HERE.          Cast Iron Skillet Stackable School Chair            Plastic Detergent Bottle Tutorials Follow Along to model these household objects Experience the new potential of Moi3D's Version 3 Beta!
