Guy Rabiller and 2d Lighting 2005-05-05 - By matt hollingsworth

True. I've seen Sexy Light being used, but having the ability to
actually move REAL 3D lights and see that update in your FX tree is
amazing to me. I've heard DIgital Domain's Nuke has some amazing 3D
integration too, but seems to me XSI has an advantage in that it
actually contains your entire 3D scene AND the comp.
