Art of Matte Painting

Matte Painting is an art and not something that can be learnt to completion satisfactorily within a small module without exceptional artistic talent to start with.

Art of Matte Painting - needs to be borne in mind when situating the scene and success of it depends on the measurement of how believable the work is, with an accurate awareness and understanding of detail, light play, color and depth.

Advent of the Matte painter's job has increasingly moved away from creating 2D backdrops of landscape and cityscape to include working with geometry in what is often phrased as 2.5D.

The imperative for 2.5D often needs to be accompanied by photoreal paint artistry, informed by an understanding of 3D projection and the awareness of how the virtual camera might be placed.
