Hi Debby, Here is some info. Hope it helps you out a bit? Web site has link to beta plug-ins: http://www.digitalcarversguild.com/ I would hold-off on purchasing Anything Grooves, as C5Pro has displacement maps that work very well. The rest of the DCG plug-ins are still (I think) viable, but I would hold-off until C5Pro soaks awhile. Anything Grows is good for a lot of things not covered in C5Pro (like growing a grass base on terrain, or maybe a grass plug to be distributed by the C5Pro surface replicator -- not to mention creating fur and hair). Most of DCGs stuff is very good, and they have good support (they already have their C5Pro beta plug-ins for users to download). http://www.inagoni.com/news.php I have a few from these folks, and they are good. They have also made their beta plug-ins available (except for Deeper, and Architools which I use in C4Pro is great for rapidly building your own houses etc.). I think you really want Veloute? It works great with C5Pros displacement mapping -- I've tried it. Hold-off on Replica for obvious reasons, and except for Veloute, I would not purchase any others right now.
