carodan, you're right, of course. I wasn't completely serious :)

However, as a side note, we didn't use Brad Pitt's photos - for obvious reasons :) The photos we used were taken specifically to be used for texturing and all the shadows and highlights were carefully removed (well, more or less anyway) before projecting. They were baked again in 3d package, but I only did projections and cleaning up, so I'm not sure about the rest of the process - and the project pretty much died before the character was complete.

The mesh itself were modeled based on the concept art that had little to do with the person photographed - yet the uncanny likeness - which wasn't a goal at all - were there up until the point when the texture was manipulated (it's supposed to be a zombie).
