Quote - if Daz took a few months to devote some time and effort to cleaning up and updating Hexagon They could have a very nice powerful modelling tool that would be worth the original price it sold for five years ago
The tools used to program Hexagon are old now. Hexagon still needs to have a revamp done to it, to get its code compatible with today's operating systems and programming libraries and compilers. A total and complete re-write in other words. wxWidgets (Hexagon's GUI) wasn't being updated for the newer C++ compilers in use. It's finally been updated since 1998 (yes, wxWidgets was old when Hexagon was first released), so the newer Microsoft Visual C++ compilers for the newer Windows environments can finally be used to do a re-write of Hexagon (instead of just pasting a hack here and there in its old existing code).
