It's a while Hexagon is not receiving updates..

Would be fantastic to have this great tool open-source, so that community can continue it's development and ensure compatibility with latest OS and libraries.

Is something Daz already considered?

    Threads about "why doesn't Daz make Carrara / Bryce / Hexagon / Daz Studio open source" have popped up multiple times along the years. So yes, Daz most lilely considered it already, and decided against it.

    There might be licensing problems preventing it, or it might simply require too much work to be worth it from Daz point of view.

    and also, wo would do the development? Why would devs with free time and an interst in 3D work on one of these applications and not Blender?

    Developers that are using Daz3D may be interested in improving Hexagon because:

    - they use it

    - is simpler than Blender (I guess also the code)

    For Daz is free advertisement and maybe they can get new features / improvements for free.
