About Moi3D
Moi3D, short for Moment of Inspiration, is a 3D modeling and CAD application for designers and artists. It blends precision tools with freeform NURBS drawing, and its interface is designed to work smoothly with a pen tablet. The goal is a streamlined, fluid workflow that stays easy to use while still producing accurate models.
Version 4 is described as adding a 64-bit build and a native Mac build, along with many other improvements. Modeling is driven by 2D profile curves and Boolean operations, which makes it a convenient companion to rendering and digital content creation programs, and it supports mesh export that includes n-gon meshes. It is also described as well suited to 3D printing. Moi3D is a proprietary commercial product from Triple Squid Software Design.
