Hi, Eric.
I have no way of knowing of course, but maybe they meant that the SDK
wouldn't be released at the same time as the first version was
released, but they would release one at some point (hopefully early
on). An SDK--and the ability to add plugins--adds a lot of power (and
appeal) to a program.
Many of us are looking at Hexagon as being a workhorse modeler, and
it's inconceivable to me that Eovia would cripple it in anyway by not
allowing third party plugins, which could expand its power exponentially.
Having Hexagon be a powerful program in its own right, with the
ability to add features through plugins would certainly increase its
appeal to the 3D community in general. I know that users of other
programs, such as C4D, are following Hexagon's development too.
Best,
Bob Dawson
