This offer for hexagon do you actualy get to regester this product so your licenced to own it or is it just simply a cd key thing? This offer seems to good to be true and you know what that normaly means! theres a flawto it all.
Do you have to subscribe to daz for a certain anount of months to be a Platinum Club member? Just seems to easy if ppl where to just sign up just to get that offer and then cancle membership?
except some bugs theres nothing to fear. Go for it! I was a bit sceptical too, but it will not even automatically extend your 1 month membership, you have to take extra actions to stay subscribed for more than 1 month.
Hey Erklaerbar,
I’m wondering if maybe the issue is with Windows2000. Im on XP with an ATI X800 series PCI. The card you are using…did you have to install a bridge to get it to fit into the PCI slot? Just wondering because I thought the 9700 Radeon’s were AGP? If so, this could be the cause.
sorry its an X700 pro. I confused ATI terms (got it in return of a defect 6600GT). Might be related to win2k. although the architecture should be very similar to XP. hmm, might be worth trying XP.
Carrara - No problems other than my lack of experience. I’m running XP with an ATI card. I’m at work and I can not remember which card I have installed. Only crashed once and it was my fault. I was doing my usual trying to use it without looking at the manual:o
Hexagon - Lots of bugs and crashes a lot, but I’m willing as it sounds like it will be very desireable as they get the bugs worked out. Easy to figure out and seems to handle large poly counts with ease.
Silo - Awesome. Not very feature rich but awesome just the same. For base models its great. Not the right tool if you need accurate dimensions but for box modeling it has a simple no nonsense interface. Only problem is it won’t handle enough polys. The upgrade will be free though and the community is great as well.
I did this Hex deal as I thought it was a good price, but it’s as unstable as my Gran on roller skates after a few beers.
It has a nice toolset but I feel Silo 2’s arrival will blow it away & I can’t help thinking that’s why daz have done this deal, a $280 app for $30, not good business really…
I’d say it’s worth the $30 dollars but if I’d had paid the full price I would have been really pissed…
now theyre going mad … they throw out bryce and mimic on top of carrara pro for 300USD. I can only imagine that they try to get the money back in they spent on the acquisition of Eovia. 
BTW. Hexagon runs quite a lot more stable than carrara here (and i really like Hex now). I wonder if maybe the standard version is so buggy compared to pro because of the code restrictions … -Hmmm, i think im gonna ask them if i can upgrade to pro at the difference of the price. Because i know i would love carrara if it was more stable.
Cheers
Yea Im lovng hexagon 2. This is my first go at traditional 3d modling and am finding it very easy to learn. Shame it crashes and has so many bugs.
I want to see some Hex 2.x creations at ZBrushCentral.
I have yet to see someone make something really cool with Hex 2.x
I bought it … but have not had time to give it a fair shake.
Well What you make with hex 2 is more down to how well you know the program by learning it and how good you can model.
Im making a complete mountain bike in hex 2 and have started aslo to make video tutorials for this with audio part 1 will be on there soon. check the forum out here.
