2D background and 3D model interaction

Questions & Answers
1

Hi, I’m making a 3D chess game and I wanted the background to be 2D and work as a table for the board. I was watching the new magic:origins video and it has the same background and camera angle I wanna achieve. Here is the video Magic Duels: Origins hands-on - YouTube. So, you can see the background also work as a table for the cards, but instead of cards, try to imagine a chess board on there. How can I achieve this effect? The camera angle I want to achieve is the same as well.

Thank you.

Plain for table, fixed camera with some angle to table, one more transparent plane in front of camera (lets call it “screen plane”), and many many animated textures on table plain and on screen plane.
