Whew! I thought there was maybe a problem with the forums.

Thanks for explaining Thomas.

We cross posted, so I edited and just left the HUH? in my previous post.

Cheers,

Steve

I didnt want to ruin the mood in the other thread where everyone is mooooing but.

Hex is supposed to ship today.
I read eather on here or the daz forum that its supposed to ship 10:00am eastern then someone said it was 10:00 pacific. so now its 2:30 eastern and im wondering where is hex?

Im positive that if someone got hold of it allready they would have been braging by now. This means that even the preorder people who had first dibs on it still dont have it.

Im just wondering whats up?

has to be remembered. It is Daz as a company that people seem to have a problem with and not the actual people (I hope) like you or me who post to a forum and use a certain product. In actual fact the common factor between a 'you and me' is 3d. You can't simply dislike someone because they can't model. Modelling takes talent, and some people have it and some don't.

Ok I'm off to continue lurking.

@ MagicRubber

Probably just the usual last minute glitch. Computers & the Internet have the same devices fitted that photocopiers have - you know the one that makes them less likely to work the more urgently you need something?

I'm guessing the number of people waiting with their fingers over the return key makes it a certainty that the uplink's going to go fuzzy just at the wrong moment..

MagicRubber · 28th April 2006, 00:14

Yeah, the usual...

Ive been waiting for this damn prog all week and a while before that...

I have a fully modeled scene and characters that ive been waiting to texture and normal map in hex2 but I guess I wont get that done before my deadline -_-. Ive wasted the whole day thinking ok maybe now? maybe now ? MAYBE NOW? and so on

So I'l see you guys tomorrow.

laughingnome · 28th April 2006, 00:17

hi Joanne
my apologies as ive already said in another thread, that wasnt meant to be harsh on you.

.

i have no problems with Daz the company or any gripe or any complaints or issue with them.
im just not a huge fan of vendors spamming the forums with their latest creations.
whilst i understand the need to promote products i dont particularly like having product shoved in my face.

Daz 3D have a part to play in the 3d community as do Poser users i never said otherwise.
other than the fact i dont like them i never said a bad word against Daz btw

i agree with you that the sooner Daz has its own forums the better, then the vendors can spam them all they want

if you or anyone else wants help regarding modeling using Hexagon this is probably the best place to come

most here are more than willing to help

Seems that the acquisition announcement slowed down Hexagon 2's release. I have to wonder like the others here have why they have to time it around the same date as the most anticipated app's release's. I would only guess that DAZ probably thought that the big announcement will be met with flowers and lots of welcoming greetings from Eovia folks here. Man, how surprised they must have been. Truth is, they could have made the announcement couple of months later if they wanted to. Of course, people will eventually know.

psaldari · 28th April 2006, 00:50

Hi guys,

)

Well, I can't keep waiting and will have to go to bed soon or I'll have trouble getting upr for work.

Still, I get the impression that DAZ is going to re-structure it's site to accomodate it's new software. It has been a 'content and club' approach to date but I'm thinking that the point of buying Carrara/Hex is to become more than that. The marketing is, well, yes, I have to agree, a bit cheesy - but so long as it keeps making them bundles of money, they're not going to feel pressured to change it. Pity but I can live with it.

I have posted this elsewhere (can't remember where) but I have wondered about a possible advantage for Hex in the buy out. Reading between the lines in these forums, I have the impression that some of the features found in Amapi were being kept out of Hexagon in order maintain them as distinct products for different kinds of users. Perhaps now, without Amapi in the DAZ purchase, we might see things like rulers and nurbs developed for version 3.

psaldari · 28th April 2006, 02:12

I have received one email now... nothing hexagon 2 today...
(I hope is not the beginning of a difficult relationship...)

good night, I go to bed

dooki · 28th April 2006, 02:18

Yup, just the email notice about the server in France.
Tomorrow morning will be a mad dash to download HEX2!!

Good night as well...

I have begun a redesign plan that will put a new face on the DAZ website. The goal is to better present all sides of the company, elevating the software and creating the right kind of environment for each type of customer.

This will take some time, but I confident we will implement a solution that will work well.

Grendel · 28th April 2006, 10:23

a bold marketing move on with the dollar store pricing. It should place Hex2 in the hands of just about everbody in 3d before Silo and Modo are released. I know Modo is moving toward full app but still.

time to get ready for a slew of simple modeling questions for new modelers.....

This is absolutely not true. Development dictated the release date, not the acquisition.

As for the flowers comment, would have been nice, but I've been involved in software too long to think that anything other than what we've seen happen would happen. It's to be expected, especially from a community of artists. Passionate people have passionate responses, and there's nothing wrong with that, IMO.

Thanks. That's certainly the goal -- capture the modeling market.

Grendel · 28th April 2006, 10:30

It's easier to capture than keep though, the future will be the test for Hex3
