Toonz plug-in for SoftimageXSI

• The plug-in reads the movements of the camera,
  objects and changes of the camera "field of view"
  in the 3D environment then it computes the
  projections in the 2D Toonz environment.

  Xsheet module of Toonz. This file contains all
  the information to move 2D levels on the 3D
  objects and background as if they are attached to
  the animated 3D environment.
