The cards were also modelled using a height field for global bending and local crumpling effects. An animation shows a card being folded, spindled, and mutilated. The backs of the cards have a subtle bump texture which comes from the card machining process. It's most noticable when the light hits the card back at grazing angles, as in the house of cards. Many of their scenes featured excellent composition, lighting, and camera positioning.
