What's it called?

Hi,
I can’t remember what something is called in Blender. If anyone knows what I’m talking about please help.
Not long ago something was being worked on in Blender which you could use a spline to create animals and other forms. I never used it but it looked as though you could draw out a simple spline shape skeleton and this plugin would flesh it out.
Does anyone know what I’m talking about and what it was called?
Thanks
Jon
