Hi Tunesy,

Long time, no hassle! ;)

Generally speaking, Hexagon is much nicer to use. (but, I was dropped on my head when I was little...) In fact it's amazing. Carrara5P vertex room has some the Hex tools now but is no comparison to what you can do, easily, in Hexagon.

A - Disclaimer - I haven't used Hex specifically to make clothes with morphs for Poser but I haven't noticed any vetex shifting on other projects

B - Yes, same deformer tools - and new modelling tools. An easy transition from Amapi

C - Waaaaaaay more stable.

D - Any content that requires specific vertex control I actually bring into Carrara after building it Hexagon. Hex makes it super easy to build stuff at low fidelity/poly counts and then smooth. I simply export the smoothed version and don't worry about the polys and vetices.

Now maybe there is a better workflow out there so I'd like to hear it...anybody!

Mark
