Hexagon Essential Tips

details

A current, up-to-date tutorial in Hexagon using the most current version of the software available at the time of this tutorial’s creation.

Seaghan demonstrates the fix for a known problem as well as goes through the various tips and tricks for getting started in Hexagon and basic modelling.

He starts with the User Interface and covers the differences in the tools, while all throughout, gives examples of when a particular tool might be used.

He covers constraints, and tools that are often overlooked but can speed, not only modelling times, but also accuracy.

A self proclaimed ‘keyboard guy,’ emphasis is on using keyboard and mouse shortcuts, but demonstrates the multi-option type of menu driven choices that can aid in a more gentle learning curve to modelling.

For anyone that has asked the question “there must be a better way to do this,” he demonstrates that there most certainly is, multiple ways to achieve the same result.

For over 30 years, Seaghan has worked in the Film and Broadcast industry as Line Producer and worked with professional modellers/animators on such shows as Things You Need to Know with James May and Survivorman. He originally got interested in TV when he caught wind of a new series, Babylon 5 that was making the use of a Video Toaster farm which ran on the Amiga 2000 (a Personal Computer!) for rendering all their CG thinking “that looks fun!” and moved from the print/advertising industry. His intent was to get into animation and modelling, but this was not to be… yet.

Always and avid “real-world” modeller and nerd to family and friends, and with diminishing eye-sight decided to learn 3D modelling beginning with Poser back in 2009 because there was no end to increasing the size of the model to see the detail, with the intent to publish his own content… Soon!

He works with Daz Studio, Poser, zBrush, Hexagon, 3DS Max, Vue and the usual suite of Adobe CC to name some of the more common apps.
