Small Worlds is a series of tilt shift short films by Keith Loutit. I really love this technique and Keith truly excels at it! In this one you can also see how the built landscape transfers in such a way… no other words are needed, just watch and enjoy.

Materialwerk has just released BRIX, a new tool for 3ds Max & Maya that offers a solution to working with tiled materials (planks, bricks, tiles, mosaics, stone cladding and more).
