Nice work, surely this would make Akhenaten smile.

its not quite storming the beach of omaha, but impressive 3D modeling non the less! how did you make the egyptians walk? :0

We created all the 3D elements (temples / models) in maya , and then created the egyptians in Poser6, and managed to import them into maya through a cr2 loader.

did you use Mocha for tracking?

hi there,
we didnt use any 3d tracking software because we cant afford it! the whole scene is built in maya. we cross faded through one scene using the built in after effects tracking points. hope this helps!
