Thanks Christine.

Man, I'm quite impressed by this offer!
Too bad I'm confident with Blender 3D today and wouldn't like restart learning three packages instead of one.
For anyone starting from scratch is a good deal in my humble opinion.

It is, indeed, a great offer and many thanks for the link.

Now, if only there was somewhere you could learn what to do with it all?!

I've heard good things about Hexagon...

Rik there are tutorials (written and video) on the Daz site for all three applications. The getting started under the Help menus are very good.

I have used older versions of the apps and look forward to relearning to use these updated versions.

When you start Daz Studio Pro this is the first thing you will see. Makes the learning curve very easy.

Thank you Christine I had downloaded all three earlier today.

I've had a bit of a play with Daz Studio Pro and I am finding it rather interesting so far. I have created a basic render with a basic female model and was able to render as a png which I brought into Xara and to my delight it came in with alpha transparency so no background to drop out! Now I am working on a quick drawing using the png to get the proportions right.

Thanks for the info, Bill.
The best way I can describe this is that I've never used any 3D software. Ever!

Installed Hexagon 2 and started it. Clicked on the Help menu and clicked on the Tutorial option. That takes me to the DAZ 3D web site advertising the free software. Very confusing!
Then you find a Tutorial option at the bottom of the web site. You click on it. That shows you the web site advertising the free software.
I must be missing something?!

EDIT: Bill, yes, DAZ Studio has videos I can watch.
