MOAN is a simplified relative of SoftImage and Open Inventor, two commercial modeling and animation systems. It shields the student from writing actual OpenGL code, and encourages trial-and-error experimentation by eliminating the need to recompile every time the student needs to change their model. MOAN is too simple and crude at times, as it is designed to match very closely OpenGL's approach to modeling; still, it's a good stepping stone to commercial systems.
