Am a member of Daz Platinum Club.
They are currently selling the full version
of Hexagon 2 for 1.99.
Thought it was a joke.
Purchased and am downloading now.
Problem is that the download is over 330 mbs.
Will advise when complete.
To see the full page ad on daz
do a search of Hexagon 2 Daz.
It is buried on their site.
How much are they paying people to become Daz Platinum members? 
further:
In conjunction with the Hexagon 2 release, DAZ has announced a limited time promotion,
which ends May 31, 2006, providing the electronic download version (ESD) of Hexagon 2 at the DAZ webstore for the nominal price of US$1.99 for new and current members of DAZ’s Platinum Club. Initial cost to join the Platinum Club is US$29.95, with a monthly renewal fee of US$7.95. Alternatively, members can choose to join for an entire year with a flat fee of US$99.95. This special offer for Hexagon 2 ends May 31, 2006, after which the software will be priced at US$269 for the full version or US$119 for the upgrade from Hexagon 1. As a thank you to customers who pre-ordered the Hexagon 2 upgrade, DAZ will provide them a free one month Platinum Club membership with an option to renew, a US$30 value, along with a US$100 voucher which can be used on the DAZ store.
Physical versions of Hexagon 2 are expected to begin shipping in June 2006. Hexagon 1 was introduced to the 3D industry by Eovia Corporation in spring 2005. Eovia announced Hexagon 2 and its new features just last month. DAZ acquired Eovia Corp. along with the Hexagon and Carrara technology on April 13, 2006.

…that will be more quiet 
Take patience
For one time than frenchies make a task, they are buy back :rolleyes:
Cool for you bic : great deal
Yeah 30 dollar seems like a great deal 
That can only be beaten by the ZBrush 2.5 upgrade price 8-).

Mr. Pilou: goes without saying that these great programs
owe their expertise to France.
Any program that is favored by Marcel ( Carrara) can’t be too bad;)
edit: appears daz has solved download problems all is running
smoothly.
…don’t miss this One for the fun 
(slide the page and have cool coffee 
and more down a terrific architecture project
What a week ! 
Many thanks FP, will check it out.
Like your coffeepot’!!!
Caffeine free?
Ps hexagon2 downloaded and installed perfectly.
Problems have been cleared up.
Have to admit ,feel badly for those that preordered.
Could not load it during the day. Got it now and installed. All good. I tried it on the mac. They really have some issues but it did not crash yet. But I am really happy that I did not pay 300$ for it as it seems rather limited. But in it’s way, as far as I can see it within 15 minutes, it seems to be a nice starter app.

lemonado. What do you mean by seems to be limited?

Some ops like the boolean I tried did not yield the results I get with progs like XSI. When I switch views on the mac it has redraw problems. Nothing serious, just not up to par with the XSI modeler, Silo, and Modo. .OBJ export also resulted in a strange mesh. But then again, I used it about 20 mins… So take that with a grain of salt… Any case… 30$ hahahahahahahahahahaha. I’ve never seen anything like it for 30$… Way cool for that money. I bet quite a few people had to get the Coffee out of the keyboard after reading that this morning.

PS:IMHO DAZ has grabbed the entire ‘low end’ from any other manufacturer…
It ain’t bad for 2.00 either:D
$31.94 total will get you this program! $29.95 (You can cancel at any time!) and $1.99 for Hexagon 2!
I’m downloading now! I think it has potential, of course when Zbrush 2.5 comes out, I will probably will forget about this program…oh well.
I think right now, it’s probably the best addition to ZBrush. Some modeling tools are real fun and the bugger is realy surprisingly quick.

Yep, Hexagon at this price is to good to be true (would be alright with no bonus, sorry ;)), but there is more to this.
DAZStudio, Carrara and Hexagon >> add more interoperability and your toolbox might need a general workover with this bundle at hand!
Not being able to cook coffee - can you find another thing that this bundle will NOT do?
I bought this too. I hope they take care of everything it looks really promising! The only think cheaper is Blender. Kind of a weak user gallery though. Hopefully that will improve it its easy to use.
If you need a decent modeling app. Get Hexagon2. You can’t beat it for 32.00 dollars. Just make certain your platinum membership is valid so you can buy Hex2 for $2.00.
Hex2 is working well. The only real bug is with the A/O. It keeps refreashing by itself, and there is no way to exit that opperation. The A/O does look really cool though, and I easily hit 2Million polys. The open gl refreash time was about 45 seconds for that model.(using the ambient occulsion).
I got Hex2 running on my PC and the Imac, no issues so far, to be honest this seems a very nice modelling program and the advanced features are not to be snubbed either. at a glance it seems to have more new features than Silo but they are due to release a major update soon. The price including PC membershiup is unbeatable and it should serve as a very complimentary modeler with ZBrush as your detailer and renderer. I know there are those that use Maya and XSI etc as the final render programs but for those on a budget HEX2 and Zbrush are very powerfull programs.
I am having so much fun finding new stuff with HEX2 and still finding new stuff with ZBrush, ZB is that type of program that will never fully be mastered, because as soon as you think you’ve got it mastered, you discover yet another method or technology that opens up even more opportunities.
