      I remember watching the "behind the scenes" of the pod race sequence for Star Wars Episode I. The people building the model used q-tips for most of the stadium extras. Just painted them various colors. Not sure how that helps you ❓

        Daniel, I roughly traced a few peeps from 3eighty's pic and colored them up a bit to see if would work...push it an hour past the 20min I spent and I think you'd have a grandstand full that wouldn't breakdown even from the sidelines:

                    Those are fantastic guys...

                    Tom, do you have a tutorial on how you create these characters in this format?

                    I make my own 2d characters for rendering, however they are clip maps/ alpha maps from tablet sketches/images.

                      Thanks, everyone, for your input. I've been away for the holidays, hence my silence. I will try your suggestions (the q-tips sound interesting, too bad I cannot use them), but part of the dilemna is being able to see the people from all directions, including from above.

                            Daniel, I don't know how photoreal or up close you need to be...but this fake-it didn't take me too long:

                            Boo, even more trouble than trees...not much fudge factor allowed by most eyes.

                            Pete, I just trace an image then color it in...of course I'm heading for DWC not PR.

                                        Thanks guys (took literally 5 mins to make)

                                        Tom, I tried your SU people idea...thanks to tablet it worked as using squigly/freeform lines in not easy with mouse.

                                          Pete, nice job and absolutely on the tracing with a mouse...but I'm actually going for as few straight lines (lowest poly without looking too cartoon-y) as possible since I will be mushing them around in a DWC. I also scale the image up a bunch-and-a-half to get some inference snapping sanity.

                                            My solution...I didn't have much time to experiment, and didn't know if I'd need any close views, so used a few FormFonts people, cloned them, changed their shirt colors, and made group components. Not perfect, but the client was happy.
