Carrara vs Hexagon - Polyloop

sinb0d · 28th September 2007, 00:27

i am not sure which one to buy which is the better of the two for modeling. which one would you buy and why? i do know one render and the other doesn't. any demo trial for the new Carrara 6.5 pro i can't find it.

You probably need an all round app to start with. Just a modelling app on its own is not much good. Carrara does have very good modelling, especially the Pro version. (C6Pro is excellent) Hexagon is sort of the next stage.

Try the download of the Carrara5Pro trial--it will give you an idea.(The C6 trila version may be a while away still.)

I would get c6pro like our friend brian said try 5 demo.
If your not happy with the modeling part of things then buy hex.

I like Carrara and think it is a good program but Hexagon is much better for modeling. On the other hand Carrara is a good all in one program and you may not need all the modeling tools in Hexagon. It is rumored that Carrara 7 will get a new modeling room. I was hoping Carrara 6 would get the dissasociate tool and the bend tool of Hexagon among other things. Hexagon does rock if you need the extra modeling features.

the best of the 2 for modeling, is Hex by a landslide.

what rickei said X 10 - for modeling as opposed to rendering

Hexagon does not render... it is a modeling application.

just look at some of the many hexagon tutorials in the tutorials section of Polyloop

Perhaps these could be modeled in Carrara, but I wouldn't want to tackle it.
There are many better samples of Hexagon work in this forum than what I can do.

Nate love your modeling work, looks great.
Is that my heart?

Nate Owens · 4th October 2007, 02:24

Thanks.
The heart was for an article was about bad relationships.
I suggested a title, which they used.
"Love Hurts" - - (was a song title by I forget who)

We've all been there, chin up, fuzzy one
