Renato Vargas (a.k.a. Rindolphus) posted an article on his blog I’ll tell you a story… where he explains how you can easily solve some perspective issue by creating the basic architectural elements of your background in Google SketchUp. Then export an perform the painting in Toon Boom Animate.

This technique is not new, more and more production are using Google SketchUp (or other 3D software) to create more accurate 3D background for 2D animated project. I remember that the guys from Film Roman used that techniques in King Of the Hill during storyboarding phase to always get accurate BG and save pre-preduction time.
