Re: Why Hexagon? 2005-05-11 - By Bob Dawson

Hi, again, Hal.
Did Ringo or I answer your question? I got to thinking about it. You
said you were new to Carrara (and presumably 3D).
I wasn't trying to short you on an answer (Ringo's answer was better
than mine in any event).
If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask, though I
won't answer them until after Lost is over (9pm Pacific time).
