SHA256SUMS.txt lists the checksums of all files.

macOS: Moritz is signed ad hoc but not notarized. On first start, right-click Moritz.app > Open, or run xattr -cr /Applications/Moritz.app. There is no build for Intel Macs.

GPU rendering: these builds carry no precompiled CUDA / HIP / oneAPI kernels. Cycles renders on the CPU, or compiles GPU kernels on your machine where it can.

New in 0.3.0

  • Linux and macOS builds, alongside Windows.
  • Updates: Moritz checks GitHub for new releases (Help > Check for Updates, and once a day at start when online access is on). It can download and install them itself when you quit (Preferences > System > Updates > Install Updates Automatically; off by default). Downloads are verified against SHA256SUMS.txt.
  • Manual: Help > Manual opens the Moritz manual at https://cyberhirsch.github.io/moritz/manual/0.3/
  • MCP server and command line: moritz-cli and an MCP server let scripts and AI assistants drive Moritz.
  • Per-user Windows installer.
  • Create tab: category buttons in a column; the new object's parameters right in the Create panel, as in Max.
  • Cap Relax: quad caps and quad poles of the primitives (Cylinder, Cone, ChamferCyl, Spindle, Gengon, Prism, Sphere, Capsule, OilTank) and Edit Poly's Cap even out their grid; 0 gives the old layout.
  • SwiftLoop works as in Max: click to insert loops, Alt+click to slide, Ctrl+click to select, Ctrl+Shift+click to remove.
  • Slice Plane: a slim handle instead of the big white disk.
  • Smart Extrude: plane handles keep their plane move; the cap stays selected after an off-normal move.
  • No Blender in the menus and splash, apart from the credit. The .max importer is on by default.

Known issues
