Re: Tyrannosaur in Hexagon 1 beta 5 2005-05-05 - By Bob Dawson
Back
Once Hexagon is released, I would bet on plugins appearing at some
point, simply because no program--no matter how well thought out--can
include everything right out of the gate. This is not meant to slight
Eovia's great programers by any means, but at the anticipated price
point of Hexagon, they can't afford to include everything in Modo,
Silo, C4D, etc. Something will be left out, and some enterprising
developer will step in to fill the inevitable gaps.
I concur with your expectation that C4-C5/Hex will be a smash. I'm
expecting to pick up a new G5 in the near future to run them on: I can
hardly wait.
Best,
Bob Dawson
