Moment of Inspiration (Mol3D) is a fantastic complementary 3D modeling tool for a polygon-based artist, since its CAD toolset and advanced boolean functions enable extremely rapid creation of mechanical or man-made type “hard surface” models, what you can use on Windows and macOS.
But the problem is that there are also people like me who don't want to use either of these two operating systems on there systems. Then these users have installed a Linux distribution such as openSUSE Leap, Ubuntu or Fedora.
And so I got the idea to start this project here to find a way to solve this problem.
I started looking at different tools and my choice was Wine!
With this nice tool we don't need longer two operating systems for Moment of Inspiration (Mol3D), when we will create a fantastic project in the future or if you want to work on a project with other people.
Is that a great idea for the future?
Personally, I think this idea is good and for this reason I will do my best to give you the opportunity to use it on Linux as well!
