Re: Hexagon version 1 beta 1 screen shots - insect model 2005-04-27 - By Bob Dawson

Hi, Carl.
Thanks for the information. That the model of the insects head was
your first in Hexagon, and you say it's easy to learn, says a lot
about the usefulness of the program.
I'm an illustrator and really don't (usually) need the nurbs
capabilities of Amapi, but I do want a fast, powerful, easy to use
modeler: sounds like Hexagon may fill the bill admirably.
Any more information you can reasonably share would be appreciated by
us all, I think.
Thanks,
Bob Dawson
