Hello NFTW, awesome tutorial as always, straightly clear, also for a non-native speaker, like me. Little question: for a mine personal project, I have to deform/move a plant foliage. In your personal knowledge/experience, it's possible doing that kind of "work" on a part of a prop with Exagon? Thanks

Can you make a video about realistic skin textures like moles, freckles, veins?

I really appreciate this series on Hexagon, which I never thought of using. The one frustrating thing is that--as great as this is with the ability to save the morph for the clothing--holy mackerel, this takes a long time, especially with poke-through! I really wish Daz clothing would make it easier to do things like this within the program. I mean, between this and using dForce, that's a lot of time spent before you even THINK of rendering. Not a complaint to you....just venting about Daz, in general!

That was an excellent tutorial. Very good and calm explanations and Milica was very playful, so also good entertainment, thank you very much Sir... 👌😀

Cool video.

This really is a great series. Thanks, you've inspired me to reinstall Hexagon and try it again. I gave up on it a long time ago but at the time I had no idea you could do stuff like this, in fact I'm not sure anyone has ever done a tutorial that explains it so well.

Thank you for continuing to use Hexagon. I bought the Mesh Grabber Bundle, but I heard in a previous video that it crashes and becomes unusable. Because of that, I have never used it. What prompted you to use Heagon? Is it because you can't use Mesh Grabber? I'm sorry if I'm wrong.

I'm gonna have to try this. Thanks for the vid.

Anyone else have a hard time paying attention to what he was saying.? Milica is a little too distracting.

Great vid again, and just in time for the weekend so plenty of time to play!

Thanks again! 💥 You've shown the importance, and the usefulness, of the Weight-map element!! 👍👍

That's very useful. I do stuff like that in 3D Studio. The way it's bulging is the inverse of what you want though. Does Hexagon have a falloff node? I suspect it will have. This will enable you to set a variable level of effect depending upon the distance from the selected vertices or polygons. By selecting this, you can adjust the falloff distance to create a more subtle blend to the stationary material. In your case you might select say, three rows of polygons, and allow falloff to handle the rest.

A very good approach to demonstrate Hexagon - straight into using it instead of getting lost in describing its functions. I'm looking forward to today's video. 👍 Just one remark, there is a product called "dForce Magnet" in the DAZ store which allows you to do the cloth lifting you demonstrated without stretching the geometry. I'm using it with clothing with intricate patterns which would show "stretch marks" otherwise.

Yup i agree this is the best tut for v21 for ghostlights! TX!

Thank you!

for me, it works fine if u put clothes and hair on one Genesis character from another Genesis character, for example to G8 from G9 or opposit, usually a window pops up or u just right click and press "fit on to" and the window should say something like "what character was this originally made for?" if u put G9 hair or clothes on a G8 u just chose that it was made for G9 and it should adjust it correctly for that character. atleast it works fine for me so i dont need rssy and all that.

There are many autofit addon packs from Sickleyield and Riversoftware. I use M4 V4 G1238 MF clothing on all. I use G38MF the most. NEVER going to buy G9. HATE DFORCE. The future it is AI anyway.

Hexagon says enter serial number when I open it?

Forgive the spam if I already posted this, but I made quite a lengthy review of Premier. ua-cam.com/video/WEgk996JVZ8/v-deo.html

genial

This video is really helpful. Mesh grabber does not always work good enough for me. I will definitely try this. I did not know the use of hexagon until now. Thank you so much. Keep up your good work.

Смотрю из за Милики так как в Даз уже научился всему😊

Great vid, well explained. As soon as this render finishes imma gonna play Hexagon 😁

Your use of hexagons is very good. Your teaching method is very good.

Thanks for reminding me as to how to use Hexagon!! 👍👍

That was cool thanks

This is excellent, you're doing stuff here that I've never even considered using Hexagon for.

Great videos! I came to your channel to see if I should install Daz 4.23 and ended up learning how to use Hexagon, a program I downloaded years ago, but I've never opened once. I could have used this program in so many of my past renders. Thanks for the tutorial!

Nice. I didn't know about Hexagon. I personally prefer the DForce Magnet script fot this type of deformation because of the realistic draping effect.

thank you so much, cant believe after a year this issue still exist

Thanks! I love Rhiannon's products, but they still create for G8F and G8.1F. I'll love forever G8 and G8.1 :)

I just started using daz i got 3060 ti it lags as hell can enven move character properly can you help me with that is my system fault of some setting I got to tweak

Hi i'm trying to make my own AVN, problem is that i struggle with the background thing, should the background and character be rendered at the same time, the character layered on it, or should the character and the background both be rendered each one by one ?

The Hexagon bridge makes it very easy to move something back and forth.

I do use hexagon, but issues, like changing random polys materials to defsurf_mat is annoying, let alone daz native sizing is incredibly small, so i choose to import meshes 1000 times larger and scale down during export.

If anyone is stuck because Hexagon is asking for an activation code (remembers those? lol!) Then if you go to 'My Account' in DAZ you will find it under 'Serial Numbers'

Why not have DAZ do the canvases? That way it is already rendered in one go, but saved as separate layers.

I have been able to load Hexagon but import or work on anything wasn't really easy. But now you explained about the path to the installation of Hexagon, it might become easier.

Nice

Okay, Hexagon 64bit downloaded and ready to go. Breath suitably bated.

Yes I agree, I do like Blender but find it a bit too complicated to learn and look forward to your Hexagon tutorials!!!!😃

I thought DAZ abandoned Hexagon years ago. I am glad they have a new beta. I tried to use it as a no frills mesh editor before I learned blender's interface better, it had potential but was not receiving any support back then.

Interesting! But why not start easy? Can you make an object too like an iglo?

Nice.

Don't waste time with hexagon.

I was into Hexagon years ago, but I drifted away from it for some reason. Probably because Apps came out for Daz that did a lot of the stuff I did in Hexagon? A place to pick-up some tips is: "WP GURU". Jay used to do quite a bit with Hexagon in the early days. I await your Tutorials on the subject and Hope it may inspire me to dive in again. 👍

OK, this is going to be interesting. I did have some limited success with Hexagon in the past but eventually gave up on it because it consistently crashed. I'm willing to give it another try and follow along with you on this, you quite possibly have learned more about it than I did. Thanks, should be good. (That's not to suggest that your other stuff isn't interesting also, it's just that this topic will be of particular interest to me haha).

Interesting! Now you have my attention. Wondering we can use this to show several stages of undressing (ahem....if you know what I mean). The undress morphs are limited and not exactly ideal. Looking forward to your next video!

Thanks you Sir for the announcement, I will be there... 😀👌

I opened Hexagon a few years ago thinking, 'oh cool, this will be fun'. Turns out not to be the case, at least for me, so I waved goodbye to it. I'll be interested to see any tutorials on it... might even pluck up the courage to try it again. Particularly interested in getting hair to work with gravity. Edited to add.... no, it was Blender I downloaded back then!
