so make sure you put the cap on after 'opening the sauce', or the cooks will be after you. It is worth a look (open source/free) however Delgine is French. Delgine's "Deled-3d" might be more to your liking (slightly more complex/more features - but not overly so).
Wings3D (free/open source) does seem - at the moment - to be one of the best packages around for creative base work. I also agree with Pinspotter (the Howitzer comment made me laugh - great) that for many things, it is using a sledge to crack a walnut. I agree with Ion that these days Blender is the program/application of preference which in turn will drive its support/features way beyond anything DAZ, Autodesk, Smith-micro or any other commercial software producer can/could or will be able (economics) to viably match. I invite anyone to step in on the defense of this software. In addition to the standard, habit of adding hundreds of additional vertices (n-gons) regardless of the surfaces you're working with that most platforms also have, Hexagon is even worse in that it also simply makes one or both of the surfaces, disappear.Īgain. While it's relatively easy to learn there-in lies the trap.Ĭomplex polies and vertices cause it to lock up and crash regularly so if you're doing large or high detail models, at some point after you've rebooted 6 or 12 times (no exaggeration on that either) you'll give it up and go looking for something else and if you learned 3D design on Hexagon, it'll be 4 times harder to learn it on any other, more professional software.īoolean's, an extremely important tool and a nefarious task in any design software, are an even worse nightmare in Hexagon. Their last update was Jand the changes were minor from the previous update of Feb 1 2018. Not a professional design program and Daz shows no interest in changing that.
If you're doing simple polies perhaps it's ok but if you have any interest in anything complex, stay far, far away from this software.
I'm still in the learning curve of Blender (I seriously wish I'd never started in Hexagon) but I'm making progress having abandoned all hope in Hexagon and after trying it out again for a couple days, I'm still vastly disappointed and yet totally not surprised that Hexagon (Daz Studio) V:2.5.2.137 (current version), despite Daz's proclamations (BS) of it's great abilities, is still the most unreliable 3D design software I'v used thus far in my admittedly, limited experience.
