I recently saw a tv show (off limits) that had buildings that spelled the name of the show in the intro. the shot was taken from above..looked very good. I have searched for a tutorial on this but can't seem to find one, does anyone know where i could get one? or give a breif description of how i would do this?
Thanks

Could you maybe attach a picture of what look you want to achieve? As a few very different things pop to my mind so it might come in handy for us to have a visual example.

Grtz,R.

As far as I can see, the tutorial leaves out colour matching with the stock and doesn't burn and dodge to create shadows and highlights. Think it largely depends on the stocks used in the tutorial as well. If you've got for example pictures of multiple sides of the same stock building, it will be easier to create a more realistic looking building.

It's allbout time invested = outcome and it seems like the guy/gal who wrote the tutorial didn't want to elaborate on the parts I just mentioned as it is time consuming and not really related to the tutorial.

Grtz, R.
