Good point!

As a side note, I've been playing aorund with Amapi Pro (wow!) and as a Rhino3D v2 owner this is certainly a refreshing take on NURBs modeling compared to Rhino!

I went to the purchase page to see how much it would cost but all I saw was 700+ euro or something - didn't see a USD price OUCH!

I couldn't determine what price I'd have to pay if I (just so happened to) want to purchase it.

I also didn't see if I'd get a deal for owning Hex1 / 2upg and Carrara 5 Pro??

700+ is way steep for me - $300, $400 maybe, but for me to upgrade my Rhino from v2 to v3(v4 when released) is around $295 - I'd go that route for sure compared to 7 billz??

With that price, I'd rather buy Rhino. Sorry Eovia. Amapi's 700 bucks price tag just doesn't make any sense to me.

I just checked my records and i got Amapi Designer for free when I upgraded to Carrara 4 pro Then Upgraded Amapi Designer to Amapi pro for about $330 ;)
not sure what their side grade prices are now ?
but pesonally I like and use hex alot more than Amapi
But its still nice to have a nurbs modeller at times
you can make some nice things with nurbs .

My mistake

Hmm...Seems that you are right guys! I just didn´t remember that the upgrade was 99 dollars even I preordered HEX1 from C3...
HEX1 is a great app and it is among those "my 5 favorite softwares".

I don´t know a bad day maybe....
Sorry!

Any way have a nice weekend!

All the best:
Mikko

Welp, at least I'm more familiar with Amapi now...

And I see Eovia does have the code in place for all the snapping and constraints would could ever desire in Hex 2 - it's up to them to decide how much they're willing to add into Hex in further support of hardbody work...

I find Hex 1 to be great for hard surface modeling. The UM is constrained to each axis and makes it easy. Check out the sextant that Kool just posted in the gallery. Heres a Vette I did.

Amapi Pro upgrade from D7 or V.6(free on this site) is $329 US. That seems damn good, I just picked it up.
