and Hexagon

http://www.daz3d.com/products/hexagon/hexagon-what-is-hexagon/

before they're no longer free. 

Even if you don't think you'll use them, you'll have them just in case :)

I am looking at those as well, but I have not posted this same topic on those forums yet.  I know not to assume what may be true for one product is not always true of another, . . . :-

It definitely is in this case :).  They are giving away all 3 with the same no-strings-attached deal

 

Quote - I also have the free Hexagon, which seems to have d/l fine, but the free Bryce 7 gave me a stern warning: "Bryce 7.(whatever it is) is not a valid Win32 operation and can damage your computer."  I run Windows 7 64 bit and have posted this in the Bryce forum to see what, if anything, can be done - I assume I will have to trash it and buy a compatable version later.

 

I'm not sure why you're having the issue with Bryce (it definitely won't damage your computer - boy, now that's a scary error message to have from Windows, isn't it!!)  And you should not have to trash it and buy a compatible version later

I'm sure someone at a Bryce forum here or at Daz can help.  Daz has, as you probably know, some major issues right now with their site, but things are getting better there bit by bit and there are lots of Bryce users who can help there as well.  Just be aware that the forums are still wonky.

And I just searched and found this - maybe it'll help somehow :)

Oh, and since there's not very good documentation with Daz Studio, here's a link to some videos that you may find helpful:
