Oh yes, bit of an omission, that.
I was lucky enough to see an amazing bit of practical in 'Scott Pilgrim vs. The World', where Scott goes into the toilet and while he's having a pee, about twenty grips and carpenters built a whole new set outside the toilet door in about 15 seconds. So when Scott emerges out of the bathroom, he's in a totally different place from when he went in.
(I'm sure people asked the director why it was just done with CGI, but I can't remember his answer.)

Most credit to Bottin though
he did an awesome Job. I'm a huge FX fan, as a kid it's what I wanted to do. Maybe when I grow up eigh?

The new Robocop?

yeah, he did the Spiderhead. What the fuck is he doing these days, shame you don't see more of his work.

Looks like he retired in 2000 or so.
I'd never heard of that scene in Terminator 2. That technique rings a bell from somewhere though.
