Im not quite sure what your asking either. Are you talking about box modeling methods? Your poly count depends on what game engine you are using. It also depends on the purpose of your model. If it is a character in unreal2 engine 2 to 4 thousand polys are good enviromental is arounnd 500 to 1000 or so. Really depends on those two factors.Try this site http://www.3dtotal.com/ they have several good tutorials on modeling and painting. There are no tutorials on Hexagon but the same principles apply. Its just learning the different name that other applications call it. You could also post your question at http://polycount.com/ that is a huge game art community. You could get more "gamer" advice there.
