QUOTE: Miyazaki: …I would construct a vague image of the house in my head beforehand. Then I start to draw it from the front door’s perspective. … But for dramatic impact, sometimes we need to draw the house from an unexpected angle, such as the back of the house [laughs].

Miyamoto: If you use the current technology, you won’t need a human’s touch to draw things anymore. … A game called The 7th Guest will be released this fall. The developers bought an old house and scanned the [it] to render it as 3D graphics data.

Once you have the graphics data, you just need to use it with a computer. If you want to go upstairs, you just can. You can see the results pretty quickly, because unlike animation, you won’t need to draw wherever you go.
