    Just a heads up: this version has now been promoted to the General Release. It should be available in DIM soon.

    When will Daz move on to do some upgrades besides fix bugs? Has anyone heard at this point?

    This is so cool to see Hexagon make a return, I thought it was put out to pasture and forgot about..

    DAZ,

    Thank-you for reviving work Hexagon. I love the program (I think I actually paid for it originally a long time ago) but had pretty much given up on it since it seemed to be an orphan. I really have use for a subdivision modeler and now I don't have to rely on Silo. It is so much more stable now and i don't have to look at a Second Life menucheeky. All your work is very much appreciated.

    ..interesting,, I don't see the revision in my DIM updates. Checking the "Show Hidden" box on the "Ready to Download" tab of the DIM only brings up the file for the public beta from December.

    Does the previous General Release version show up? This one should show as an update.

    ...nothing shows in the update section in the downloads tab.

    Check your Download Filters, you need Software, Hexagon, and 32 bit Windows checked to see Hexagon.

    Does anyone remember how to hide the Second Life tab? I used to know, but forgot ;). I'd really like to get rid of that ;)

    I downloaded and installed although I don't plan to mess with it before spring but is the version supposed to be still 2.5.2.109? Will it stay that version until the 64-bit version is ready?

    Yes, it went from being a beta to being a release version so no number change.

    I updated to 2.5.2 but reinstalled 2.5.1 . reason: i use heavily the displacemnt brush. In the new version the brush cursor is not deleting itself after move of the mouse leaving itself visible.. hiding the mesh as the resoult. PS. thank you for the great software.

    Have you reported this as a possible bug? https://www.daz3d.com/help/help-contact-us

    I found a workaround... Under preferences / 3D Display /  Uncheck "Local Redraw".  Displacement brush will work as normal then.

    Inside DIM it will say only Hexagon 2.5,  but if you click the info button it will open the browser to show which version it will download, and there it should say 2.5.1.79 Even though it said 2.5 only it does download the latest version.

    ..OK manual download shows 2.5.2.109 which is he current version. Still don't understand why it doesn't show up in the DIM Updates section.

    Probably because it's a new version (not a Beta)?

    ...anyway, downloaded the manual installer as I will need that for doing a clean install anyway after I put the new HDD in and install W7 Pro to support the memory upgrade.

    Good find. I had that issue with the beta, but assumed it was just my old video driver, etc, and not the program. I use another program for UV and painting.

    Yeah, I recalled long ago that someone mentioned that it was crashing their machine. I made a note of it. Also, In the version before, some people reported that open GL was causing crashes. Turning it off did make it more stable for me. Anyway, same goes for me. I don't use Hexagon for UV mapping except for small things. I wish you could save seams! I use 3D-coat for most sculpting and UV texturing and painting.  However, I am finding myself sculpting with Hexagon more often with some projects.
