    Thanks Tim for posting this, it was a nice surprise :)

    @everyone: Thanks guys ! we’re glad it helped/inspired you :)

    We are using these kind of techniques to save a lot of modeling/texturing work and also to get a result the most accurate to our concepts/ideas.

    Best regards

    This is a very nice camera mapping+matte painting. The trees in the front seem a little flat but otherwise it’s really great. I’ve been using this technique too for a university motion graphic trailer project: http://vimeo.com/3784158
    It was rather hard to set up, because I had to use many layers of textures and intersecting geometry, but turned out nice anyway (and besides – it’s really a fun mind-process).
