Quote - I've seen this said before, and I have to ask, Connie, what is it about Hex that you prefer? 

 

Hi Maxxmodelz :)
yes, 3dmax and hex do have similar workflows, which made it quick for me to pick up.
What I love in hex is the way it handles selection sets, edge and polygon looping. Maybe it's me, but I never had a lot of success with that in max. I hear there's a plug-in that aids with selection set loops for max. I'll have to look up it's name.

Some things are little simpler and easier to get to then in max. Things like welding and detaching. I have a lot less experience in hex then in max, but there are things I can do a little bit quicker and easier in hex. 

I haven't discovered if max has z-brush type sculpting brushes. Hex has them.

I like hex's uv unwrap mapping a litle bit better. Again, it's a lot like max's pelt mapping, but hex is a bit easier to use.

With some things it seems like what max does in 10 steps, hex can do in 5-7. Hex learning curve is much shorter too. There are things now I know how to do in hex, that I still can't figure out in max.

Sure, there's a number of higher end things that max does better, or that hex doesn't do at all, so I use combo of the two apps. 

Sorry, it's close to bedtime, and I'm not near a 3D machine, so I'm talking in general terms here. If you want more details, I can elaborate tomorrow :)
