ZLOC
What does it do
ZLOC is a 2.5D tracker system built for Science-D-Visions 3DEqualizer and Autodesk Maya. (Based on SynthPipe by Martin Kulig)
The 'Quick' Workflow
Setting up a 2.5D tracker system by hand can be very time consuming(and boring). ZLOC takes care of all of the tedious setup stuff, so artists can focus more on their work.
What you should be using most of the time is the 'Quick' feature. This is what makes ZLOC so easy to use.
