I’ve been thinking about this so much lately that my head is about to explode!

I have a lot of time invested in Max, but I still find myself getting stuck more often than not. I was up and running with Wings almost immediately, but I’ve since realized that it lacks a lot of the advance modeling features that the big guys have.

So I installed Hexagon Thursday and…well…I made a box. The more I look at it though, the more things are starting to make sense to me.

My biggest concern with Hexagon is community support. Its cheap price tag will surely inspire a lot of people to buy it, but I like having dozens of actual books to refer to like I have with Max. (That’s just how I work)

Another thing people are surely concerned with is cost. (Yeah I know; everybody has licensed copies of Max, Maya, and Lightwave lying around.) I have an educational copy of Max 6 that doesn’t allow me to do commercial work with it, so I’m rolling up my sleeves and giving Hex2 a shot!

Given Hexagon 2’s capabilities as well as the number of people in the Poser community who are eager to start making their own content, I really believe that DAZ’s little monster will be THE weapon of choice for the masses. Besides, Hex2 will probably be the first modeler for a lot of people.

One more thing, am I the only who’s thinking that Hex2 was designed with us Poser-freaks in mind?
