Hexagon 2!!! - Polyloop

Thomas · 14th March 2006, 18:18

Well... Is everybody nice and gentle here?

Pete Exxtreme · 14th March 2006, 18:36

no.. i'm an evil bastard....

Pleeze give us the videos.....

molaram · 14th March 2006, 19:00

i was planning to post some user experience&advice about Carrara and Hexagon for first post, but the title Hexagon 2 made me excited and really want to see what Eovia guys doing about the next release

by the way i'm an industrial designer, animator and post production artist from Turkey. I run my own small company about graphic design, industrial design and 2d-3d fx/animation mostly for TV ads. I'm following the forum and Eovia for some time and i really really appreciate. i'll have some questions and maybe little advices about products later.

So, hi everybody.

tonytrout · 14th March 2006, 19:19

there is a small video on the french side, they must be nicer to Thomas.....

Thomas · 14th March 2006, 19:26

Nobody here told me that he/her was gentle or nice ;) (or my humour is a crap, which is also a good answer ;)

isdnmodem · 14th March 2006, 19:27

O Come on Thomas, thats not nice. Too much teasing.

Show us what you got. Or will have my own version 2.

I am a very nice Man and a very bad boy.

LOL! I really like this one!

This is the first preview video. I let you watch it, and then, try to find the new features (three in this video

tonytrout · 14th March 2006, 19:41

Well I have been good this morning

..... not once been to the silo, rhino, or modo sites

tonytrout · 14th March 2006, 19:55

Looks like floating palettes, some sort of symetry modelling, and one click smoothing

molaram · 14th March 2006, 20:00

Hey the new properties panel is better better. Poly,point,edge count was necessary and now user dont have to guess smoothing amount or count how much he hit page up

Thomas · 14th March 2006, 20:10

except the floating palette, you didn't guess two others ;)
No kind of symmetry modeling, it's only a multiselection.
Hint: Just take care of the polygon count

isdnmodem · 14th March 2006, 20:15

Looks like some kind of constrain. Dont' tell me there is heavier mesh underneath

tonytrout · 14th March 2006, 20:31

The polycounter is new? I have a look in Hex 1 and dont see any polygon count or maybe Im blind, I used to seeing polycount in C5

tonytrout · 14th March 2006, 20:43

Iam blind, I see polycount in H1

It is millions of polys!

Thomas · 14th March 2006, 21:05

No, only 921 000 polygons

You have a polycount in Hexagon 1, in the object property panel

tonytrout · 14th March 2006, 21:25

Yes I check in H1, I can make an object to 350000 polygons and when I smooth again. ha it disappears, also can not move selections round. Most model I make till now less than 100k, now I can make King Kong

Jolran · 14th March 2006, 21:42

Hmm with that high polygoncount. What gives? Displacementmapping creation perchance?

Thats what I think because the poly count is way to high and the selected polys are moving without effecting the rest.

So i think there is a high poly model and he is working ona low poly.

Check out the name of the movie

moxstudios · 14th March 2006, 22:25

Cool! that would be a great tool :P

-ash- · 14th March 2006, 22:29

I think we have these three things:

1. floating palettes (this is great - I hope they are all floating)
2. increased poly count without slowdown
3. new buttons for easy acces to smoothing and to see which smoothing level you are at

Looking forward to the next teaser
