How 3DE was used at Weta Digital for the creation f over 2200 VFX shots in King Kong: Denis Trutanic ,2006

Excerpt:

   A TCL script enabled the export of 2D tracking data to Shake. 2D tracking
   curves can also be exported in ASCII format, in order to import them e.g.
   into Nuke (a TCL 3D camera path export to Nuke is also available). Due to
   3DE's TCL scripting capability it's possible to create custom export filters
   for 2D curves as well as 3D camera paths for almost every software.  That's
   why other departments could benefit from Equalizer's very precise 2D tracks
   as well. I also used the auto tracker to create point clouds for terrain
   modeling.
