Hi Ghostman,

2.0 was the one I first bought when it was released. The 2.1 fix was the last one that the Eovia team made before Daz took over it all.
2.1 is more stable then the 2.0 one. And it is also the only version I’m using that don’t crash.

Thanks for the info.

When I purchased Hexagon, it was already 2.1 (not 2.0 + 2.1 patch). It is the version I use, as the later versions I find more problematic/buggy. (although 2.2 did fix some issues, it also brought in other bugs).

I think the main problems came in 2.5 when they added the DS Bridge (which appears to be the only upgrade they have ever made to Hexagon (in 6 / 7 years), well, apart from the sculpty primitives ROFLOL).

 

Yeah that sculpty addon is a joke in my eyes. Would have been better if they focused on the bugs.

Hear,hear. 

I use 2.5 and whenever I make changes in the preferences and use the program heavily I eventually begin getting XML parsing errors.  I have no clue what an XML editor is but figured I’d have to learn to use one.  I found the XML doc titled “preferences_save”.  When I opened it there was an error messaged that said it had white spaces in it which were not allowed. (no clue what that meant).

I went back in the preferences and set the Open GL to none and tried a few other adjustments.  When I opened the preferences save doc again it opened with no error.  Not certain what I stumbled upon but I’m thinking it may be the GL, for my issues anyway.  Searching the forums here regarding Hexagon XML errors turned up posts in the archives with mainly glib replies and wasn’t very helpful. 

I’m more accustomed to Hexagon.  Its the only program of it’s kind I’ve ever used.  But I’m becoming more and more curious about Zbrush.

I can nothing but talk positive about Zbrush. I use it almost daily together with Hexagon and it’s a neat workflow.
