That looks great, keep it up!
Maybe write a tutorial on it later and publish it free so I'd be able to make such a scene myself user added image

When in doubt, delete history and freeze transformations.

user added image

not really, ive been wondering why i would do something like this?? i think its because i did some work for a 'moving images' exhibition here in Adelaide atm.., animation with live footage backdrop

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zkZzhzkIM4

i was helping someone new to maya.., they did a jail scene that looked similar to this.., in a way.., i guess rather than model i prefer to do 'moods' .., maybe because i cant model ?? LOL !!

but seriously.., thanks.., and i aways check people's sites and 'my stuff' sort of things who comment on things i do and you have some very good work.., excellent. user added image

now back to the drawing board user added image
