We were presented with a layout and caption 'The worlds biggest 2nd hand book sale'. After deciding that transporting and photographing several hundred books was not a viable option, the task was to create a virtual pile of books in CGI. We created skins for individual books and then ran a simulation of books falling and piling in there natural state. We had to control the amount of books from toppling over, so ran multiple simulations and composited them into photoshop.
