Kodon

Abandonware, there are a few bugs that can break the whole experience. i would not want to contribute to developers who abandoned something in the state this is in. if it was for the most part functional before being abandoned i would not have refunded. even at a -70% discount its not worth it

Shame, abandonware

Buggy as, couldn't save, couldn't import, couldn't export, couldn't use stamps

It's abandon-ware at this point. don't bother buying it. Even if they maybe update it. They are so slow with any kind of update that it's pointless to get. It hardly runs, and is just a mess in user experience.

Its dead program

VR system: I'm using Index controllers and an old HTC Vive headset. The latest two updates - after a year of silence from the developers - has improved the interface. It's still a bit quirky but is much easier and clearer to work with than with earlier versions. It also loaded all the geometry of almost all the OBJ and FBX files I threw at it, only choking on a enormous OBJ with several million faces. Actually working in VR was less enjoyable. In less than fifteen minutes I managed to lock the tutorial three times in three different ways - it apparently stopped reading the menu button, the trigger, and the grip on the primary controller at different times, requiring that I leave VR and close Kodon from the desktop. Each time the controller worked flawlessly once out of Kodon. I never did get very far in the tutorial due to this. I spent anther fifteen or twenty minutes playing around, sculpting on the provided base meshes. Performance was acceptable, but buttons in the dialog boxes wouldn't always load their labels; you had to remember which was which. Finally Kodon stopped recognizing the menu button again, and I shut it down. I spent another hour or so after that in VR, in various programs, with no controller issues. The 20 Dec 2024 update had an issue (everyone was set to "trial version") that was corrected by another update the next day. That issue was quickly resolved, and I only mention it here because it may be mentioned in other reviews. Kodon is a great concept that's hobbled by an inconstant, buggy implementation. I cannot recommend Kodon as it stands presently. I do have hope that it will improve.

It starts fine until you add more detail, that's when the bugs start
