Hi everyone,
It looks as though I am stepping into a thread with a few people who are not so happy with the latest news. Hoepfully I can respond to a few of the concerns. The acquisition has not changed the delivery date of Hexagon 2.0 at all. The same developers that were working on it are still working on it. We entered into a contract with them to finish it through version 2.1. They are working hard to get it finished and out right away.
We will still continue to develop the different tools as they have previously been scheduled. The major expected change is to see better integration between all the tools in time. DAZ has been joined by some very talented programmers and marketing people who will add to our company. If you liked Eovia in the past, the same people who made it what it was will still be involved.
MichineClaw, Lightwave is a great product and so is Modo (our internal artist use both of them). If you are looking for a good alternative to Hex2 now that DAZ owns it, either of those will be great (albiet pricier) options.

P.S. For those of you who have not pre-ordered Hex2 don't do it yet. There is some additional news that you should hear before you do.
