Thats a very good price,if it do all what they say. Other than that, I will like this to be working with Arnold, and also distribute over PRTs, reading custom data channels. And… we need a similar tool for scattering in 3dsmax. (Yes, we have one old, not optimize, impossible to almost do anything with it).
