Very nice. Not to put too fine a fan-boy point on it, though, that would prove that he owns an X-wing.
Did you use a shadow-catcher or did you composite the shadow in some other way?

Thanks for the kind words. I used DCG's GI shadow catcher shader on the plane under the Xwing.

Make sure he doesn't land that thing in a swamp somewhere. You'll never get it out.

Good work Mark.
Looks like it is double parked on that street, better move it before the cops have it towed.

I like the picture!
A couple of questions if thats okay. Did you place the plane for the photo on the back, under, both? built something that has a bend to get both?
Or did you composite the fighter in post, masking around the person, with alpha channel for the mask on the plane and the shadow?

Hi Xerxes0002,
The photo is a background in Carrara. I used a plane set as a shadow catcher and Global Illumination along with Digital Carver's Guild GI Shadow Catcher so that the plane participated in GI shadows.
In Photoshop, I then placed another layer of the background image in the foreground and simply masked everything out except a small portion of the persons arm. For animated foreground masks like this I'll use Shake or Motion.

Now THAT is cool! Be careful with it though, I bet it's more expensive to get tuned up than a BMW, and you better get Lojack for it just in case. :)
