Hi all,
Got my (bargain) Hexagon 2 and tried it.
It seems a little, well, sort-of glitchy.
First I loaded batlabs free lab coat .obj to see if I could muck about with it. It never appeared.
Second loaded a space 1999 eagle (lightwave obj) and all seemed well. It appeared but then things suddenly ground to a halt (including windows media player running in the background) and when things started again, the Hexagon screen no longer updates. Got bored of this and killed it.
A couple more experiences like this and I might begin to regret spending my $1.99.
Any idea what might be problem? In case it is relevent I have a 3.2GHz P4, 3GB RAM, loads of swap and running on XP home sp2. I was wondering if Hegagon is a bit like Wings3D, in that it does not like big models with lots of facets.
Thanks if ya can offer any advice on making things work or even if you know what Hexagon's limitations are.
