This is the result of trying the technique at

The crowd here consists of 50 randomly positioned double polygons, in
the same fashion as in lots of computer games. And yes - it works, as
long as you don't get too close as this example demonstrates.

Btw, it just hit me how funny it would look if someone did a boids animation
with these type of objects...

Neat concept.  If animated then it might appear somewhat like stop-action
animation of real-life people.

Cardboard cutouts! Looks like some kind of sci-fi convention. They have those
all over the place...

Pretty cool. I see this implemented rather poorly in Tomb Raider (ok, I'm
several years behind in gaming, I know, I know). My Grasspatch.inc file can
randomly distribute these guys in a few different ways as well.

Is every people made of 2 perpendicular images? An idea for improving this
(with the MegaPov): make these two perpendicular images no_image &
no_reflection and add one with no_shadow oriented correctly towards the
camera. Beware of reflections.

Why don't you just call a spade a spade?
Technique? Not.
