Prototype Showreel is up for critique

[Amit Dutta]

2.5D is when you use 2d images to simulate 3D environments. So for example projecting 2D paintings onto really simple 3D geometry (done for matte painted shots which don't require a lot of camera movement). They do this a lot for movies when you are looking at establishing shots of places that aren't real. They don't always build it all in 3D, often it is just painted with some effects to simulate the 3D.

I don't really want to go back to modelling in depth scenes but using some of my 3D knowledge to bring my painted environments a bit more to life would be fun.
