@algildea Thanks.

Wow! All that from blender??? Wot did you use to render and post process?

[GeorgeTheBlenderhead]

@MrBeauMonte Yes, Blender only. If you mean the breakdown shot, though, Adobe Premiere was used for editing.

[GeorgeTheBlenderhead]

@MrBeauMonte and everyone interested: I forgot to mention. Photoshop CS2 or higher is a must for a shot like this. Not for post process but for texture mapping.

Thanks. The "method" is called camera mapping or projection mapping. It has now become a standard for matte artists working for film.

that was amazing! the method is the same that Google uses when they create 3d buildings for google earth, only this looks alot better xD
