Hi, Interesting video. I am a cinematographer and used to do some computer animation. I have an idea, I've been thinking of shooting some live action in front of a green screen, then building some miniature sets and somehow capture the sets in 3 dimensions. Could straight on photos of a sets walls, floor and ceiling be mapped onto surfaces in Maya. I would then try to blend the live action and maya together.

you are numbering the file wrong, just name it test0 (that's a zero at the end) , and it should work, thanks daimyo2k for the great info!! Email me how you did the teleport trick, it's awesome.
