Pretty sweet i grabbed all of them.Also comes in 64 bit installs.

Hexagon
DAZ-3D Pro
Bryce Pro

ALL FREE!

I went and grabbed these myself. I already love Bryce 7.0, I can see using this to build my own backdrops for virtual photography, just to begin with. So these should be very fun to play with!

I'm just wondering what to do with them if I get them

akky,
I'm new to this as well. It looks like they have a very good forum.

Hexagon is what i really wanted.A very easy to use 3-D program similar to Blender but way easier to understand.
CGDreams has some real nice beginner tutorials here.

I think i have watched them all twice now.

Thanks, no idea if I will use them but always nice to have if I do

so, do I need to download all of the bits and pieces for each program? And once they are downloaded, are they self installing?

You do not have to download the addons. Just download the programs and they all still work.
They are self installing for Windows, i am not sure about Mac.
You can download the extras if you want them.Bryce content is a 650mb file with nothing but textures and files like that.Plus some tutorials. The rest of the content files are pretty small and a few are just demo plugins that you will have to pay for if you want them available.
There is one for ZBrush program (GoZ), which is a pay plugin.

Except for the PDF files, everything installed for me. I installed the 650mb file in my F drive as i have more room there.DaZ I believe Bryce can find these files wherever they are on your machine.If not then a simple file open works.

Hmmmm, my account there says I never downloaded Hexagon, but I did and it's in my downloads files???

It says the same for me.
