Really not defending Eovia here as I'm not an employee or rep. But I have a theory, though, or call it a guess if you like: Hexagon began as an experiment started out by some Amapi coders who have been playing with it in their free time. They could have defected, started their own company and survived just by promoting Hexagon 1 without Eovia having anything to do with them. The financial side such as funding the 'experiment' and the risk factor involved probably took a role in it. I had this wild guess because when I started playing with the Hexagon 1 Demo, I thought it wasn't yet finished. I could see that there are detectable bugs in there such as when adjusting sizes and coordinates in the Properties panel. Still, you could see the potential. I guess my point is, there is very little coordination between Carrara and Hexagon coders. In other words, the decision of one has no bearing with the other. Sort of do whatever one group wants without any consultation with the other. In addition (this is probably irrelevant), Hexagon could have been owned by a different company other than Eovia. Point is, similarities between Hex and Carrara are very little and the effort of integration is virtually nil.
