Mac3D news: Japanese 3D tool, HexaSuper 2 for Mac

Architosh received word from the good folks at iDevGames.com on a 3D application from Japan for the Mac: HexaSuper2:

This 3d app has an old freeware version floating around. Now they went commercial. It has a working demo in English to download. It is good for making characters/humans. The commercial version is around $100 and very simple to use. -- Carlos Camacho, Editor

HexaSuper2 is a fun and powerful 3D tool allowing you to make 3D objects simply from 2D illustrations or photographs by tracing an outline with its Polyline tool. Then using its 3D Manga features it can create 3D shapes automatically from outlines. Joining together these outlines can create a 3D framework. The site says they have adopted technology from Pixar Studios to generate smooth surfaces from these polygonal surfaces (regardless of the number of polygons).

There are some good illustrative screenshots on their site.
