almpst entirely done in photoshop, also stuff done in skecthup, not as prescptiev as bigger 3d packages, it's almost like line art for you to work from, you're ot too trapped in the render

1. buil a crude sketchup model, get reference, find some good angles, digital photos ro get poses, include found imagery, distort it and put it in the image works with adjustment layers a lot before digital you would do lineart, photocopy on coloured paper and work on it with gaouache, marker

first tomb raider was the first crossover to digital thre was never really an argument about using digital
