Well the film industry uses the "blue screen" behind things they are going to
edit and place. as long as your model doesnt have blue bricks at the edges that
might work. so you might try some of the muted colors of blue to avoid the
reflection issue.
One thing I tried to both cure the black brick contrast and the shadows was to
use several adjust table wing arm table lamps so I could put one over the back
to minimize cast shadows and then place a couple of lamps aimed vertically
towards the model. Due to a recent Snafu with a fire wire drive I lost my Picts
of that session....sigh ....a side teck note ... current firewire HDs are NOT
true fire wire... more of a electronic bridge to put a IDE drive thru the bridge
to offer it on the firewire port ...recovery programs ( on the macs ) havent
caught up with this issue yet.I had to put my drive into a IDE enabled mac to
even try to recover the data.Those MOC picts were lost. Yes I should know better
and have backups.:::::shurgging shoudlers::: doh!!
