Vladimir, is that you?
Well thank you to give us all those free tutorials, I've learned a lot about Vue's functions

About modelling in Hexagon, just one little thing : why do you validate after extrusion from curves, then next go back to vertex modeling menu and choose the "close object" tool. You can do it before : when you've clicked on the curves, note the little white circles on top and base of your model : click on them and...it's closed, then you can validate

geekatplay · 18th August 2008, 00:33

Yes, it is me.
And I am not prefect, that why I am validating almost any thing I do in RL or in modeling

Thank you for tip, I will use it next tutorials.
If you want help or submit your tutorials or tips, more then welcome.

Hi Geekatplay !
We all now know that Hex is dead.

DAZ shot it down, too bad !
I was wondering why open a tuto section about a dead soft ?

Do you work for DAZ ?

(i saw lots of links...)

And why can't we download those tuto, here at Polyloop, it's free

Grendel · 18th August 2008, 02:46

It's still a great modeler even if it's been put on the back burner(I'm using Amapi 8

)

geekatplay · 18th August 2008, 03:09

Hexagon is not dead, it does not get attention it should.
And now with Truespace free it's even harder.
But i believe hexagon is nice inexpensive (i paid $2) lightweight modeler, that have it's space.
Daz integrating it with there other applications, like Daz Studio, to provide set of tool.
In last update it's include second life modeling tools, and Hexagon-Daz Studio bridge.

I am using Maya, Lightwave and now XSI, but i think Hexagon it is good complimentary tool for Vue software (and I am big fan of Vue). To create tutorials it was moslty share my knowledge with other users.
No I don't work for Daz, links are affiliate program, help me to offset cost of traffic on website. Geekatplay my site and it is make sence for me to keep all tutorial at one place.
I hope sharing knowledge will make people more creative and prompt to share there own work.

I bought a new Mac Powerbook 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB of ram.
When I open Hexagon I get this message.

OpenGL 1.4 not supported.
This may produce unpredictable results.

I have been using Amapi7.5, not on this computer though, so I kind of know what I am doing with Hexagon. Hexagon just won't work right. Is this OpenGL 1.4 the reason?

Manu_388 · 27th August 2008, 19:47

The last version from hexagon does'nt work good with OSX 10.5 . Too much crash

Excuse me for my english. The better is blender

sah · 28th August 2008, 03:02

Think that it will ever be fixed. Amapi went down the tubes and now Hexagon. I liked using Amapi. I am going to install it on this powerbook and see what happens.

Gfxnut · 9th September 2008, 22:18

I am not able to view the hexagon tutorials at the geekatplay website. Has anyone else had this problem? The Vue tutorials work fine.

geekatplay · 11th September 2008, 00:46

We was moving to new server, they should all work now.

rickei · 11th September 2008, 01:51
