I hadn't read this thread until just now but I'm glad I did. This looks a bit special, particularly at the 99 Euro price.

One of the things which caught my eye was that it imports RIB as well as OBJ. Does anyone know how compliant it is with the Renderman Spec? One of the things I would like in my current renderer (Kerkythea) is the ability to use displacement shaders, particularly for ocean water. I've never been able to get a satisfactory looking ocean surface in any of my renders. It makes me very sad to see excellent *free* ocean shaders available for outrageously expensive software like Max.
