Is this the right program for me?

Thats very very odd. Its should ask for serial at least the first time you install it. When you uninstall it make sure the folder directory for hexagon is gone, if not delete it. You may want to go into regedit and remove anythink related to hexagon. of corse back your regestry up and do that at your own risk. If all goes to fail you could try installing another copy of windows on another HD or partition, I have another copy for testing stability and bench marking.

You may want to take this to the hexagon section of Daz3d forum where others can also offer some advice.

Good luck.

2.0 was a mess but the update fixed most things. One thing about Hexagon I noticed is you will run into trouble if you don’t turn occlusion rendering off. That is only for previewing and must be shut off when working. I thought it was a piece of crap until I read that on the Daz board and since then I’ve only had problems when I got out of control hitting keys to fast. It has some great features but it is touchy. It will open a lot of polys and the exports seem quite solid. I use it for simple shapes when I need them mapped properly. I had good luck with Daz’s tech support and responses within a day if you follow the procedure. I found most answers on the board with a search.

Yes, it did ask for a serial the first time I installed, but not the reinstalls. I also deleted everything I could find relating to Hex. Daz tech has been pretty good, but no luck yet. I just sent them a video of the screen so they can see what it is doing.

In the meantime, I am trying Wings 3d. Great program, and I’m amazed it’s free.

Now to sink my teeth into ZBrush! (been spending so much time with the hex thing, I’ve barely had time to look at it!)

Thanks so much for your responses and suggestions. You have been very helpful and patient, (considering it is a ZBrush forum!) I will visit the Daz hex forum.:slight_smile:

I would install another windows or re do windows that you have now. I had a problem with my graphics card and it was pointing to a RMA. I installed windows onto another partition and to my amazment it was fine, it will save you alot of time in the long run.

Zbrush is a dam good program and was my first perchased app, theres loads to learn and whats more its fun doing it.

Just to give you all an update, Hex 2.1 is now up and running!

I got in touch with the Daz Hex forum team and they helped me to resolve the issue. (see thread http://forum.daz3d.com/viewtopic.php?p=704011#704011)

Thanks again for the helpful replies and suggestions. Hopefully my next post will be to show off my first amazing creation. (I’m estimating that will be a good six months down the road. Sooo much to learn!)
