My question is kinda the result of Andre's "Movie" thread...with my currents interests moving towards composites and whatnot...was wondering is we had any matte painters dabblers herein.

Re: Matte Painting
I was waiting to see what posts were made. It looks like it is a lost art or a technique that PP, layers and blue/green screen has almost made obsolete. May be not for video but certainly little used for still photography.
Having answered you are now bound to be flooded with posts saying I am wrong.

Re: Matte Painting
L.Paul, when I referred to matte painting I was referencing digital and not oil painting on glass. Making composites from bits of other images is what I had in mind. Any takers?

Re: Matte Painting
That's called cheating and I do it a lot the time to some extent or another but I never construct an entire composite scene.

Come to think of it I have done it more or less. I will plonk it on this thread when I get home.

Re: Matte Painting
I have been doing it almost since I started with digital ... I had to get a good editor to make it possible.
I waited to find out what the question was otherwise I would have been first up.
One of my favourites ... 'Fetch" ...

Re: Matte Painting
If it is 'scapes for backgrounds etc try using Bryce - It is now a free landscape rendering program. Vue is another, and a lot more capable, however it is not free.

Re: Matte Painting
Richard...Those suggestions of yours, in my years pursuing this hobby, never have I felt more inadequate.

Re: Matte Painting
Sorry, about that Chauncey.
I used to play around with 3d graphics quiite a few years ago, however after a while I realised it was much better to get away from the computer and do some photography.
