Greetings,
  I'd like to be able to combine rendered (raytraced?) objects and digital
photographs in a fairly realistic manner. I've tried projecting my images on
a "movie screen" then placing rendered objects in front, but the foreground
looks wierd. Also, if there are reflections from the object, they don't show
what I expect.
  Does anyone have experience in doing this? If you reply off-line, (to
pea### [at] nwnet) I'll compile a collection of responses and post them back
here.
  Tools that would help this process include:
       Cylindrical and hemi-spherical projections (like Apple's quick-time
VR) This way I can project a panorama into a cylinder and
            wrap it arount a collection of objects.
       One-sided objects (so I can put a bitmap on the front and see thru
them from behind.) This would allow tricks like seeing your
            own face in a mirror.
Thanks for your suggestions,

Harold Miller
