Never heard of it before today. I'd like to download the 'demo' version (fully featured bar saving) but its 150Mb and I'm still on 56k. :(
Apparently they used it for Half-life 2 AND the Matrix Reloaded so it can't be too bad ;)
And it's fairly cheap (~$1500 I think).
EDIT : That's for the 'basic' version. 'Extreme' version is ~$2500.
Has anybody actually used it, or heard anything good/bad?
