The name is Replica, and a similar plugin that does its functions in Lightwave has been priced at $80. I reiterate on my previous statement: "They lost there place up with the big software back when they were purchased by Microsoft (I believe it was them) and when they relaunced they have yet to regain the ground. And with C4D, CS4, HASH, etc at very good prices with similar feature sets its been hard on them." Hence the price drop. I've yet to see features in Softy that I find appealing enough to purchase it, when its such a slow piece of software. If I were to go to an alternate choice, it would be Lightwave or MAX, possibly Cinema, but definetly not Softimage, especially with annoying people like InfoCentral in the community.
