And much to my wondering eye, it runs on a G3 Powerbook. Not very fast, mind you....but it runs. That makes me an adopter right now. See, those of us on older computers (or Macs, for that matter -- darned PC-centric computer world!) have gotten used to neato software that would work just fine on our hardware, except that they had to hard-code a hardware detect that insists that without a Radium Card or a Fizzbin Port or Stretch Luthor v. 1.34 (not 1.33, not 2.04) it can't possibly be useable. Eovia didn't do that. Hexagon is actually usable on an old Powerbook. And I have a feeling my slightly less ancient G4/400 will be just fine with it. And the modelling tools are just wonderful -- even after a few minutes playing I've decided it's the perfect complement to Carrara. Only downside is I'm sure the moment I buy it Eovia will bundle it with the Carrara4 upgrade.... :(
