Matte painting A matte painting is a painted representation of a landscape, set, or distant location that allows filmmakers to create the illusion of an environment that is nonexistent in real life or would otherwise be too expensive or impossible to build or visit. Historically, matte painters and film technicians have used various techniques to combine a matte-painted image with live-action footage. At its best, depending on the skill levels of the artists and technicians, the effect is "seamless" and creates environments that would otherwise be impossible to film. In the scenes the painting part is static and movements are integrated on it. Background[edit] By the mid-1980s, advancements in computer graphics programs allowed matte painters to work in the digital realm. New technologies[edit] Significant uses[edit] Important traditional matte painters and technicians[edit] See also[edit] References[edit] Books[edit]

How to Draw Cartoons The Area :: Tutorial :: Focke-Wulf Crash in the Snow -- Making o The idea for this project was born while watching the movie The Golden Compass, which has scenes on ice and snow that are really fantastic. I added to that the fact that I like old airplanes and then started to develop the idea. For a long time I wanted to make a scene that involved ice and snow, and my greatest difficulty for that is the fact that I have never seen snow. After watching the movie I began to sketch a scene, and with the sketches defined, I made a simple model to use as a guide for the work. Following that I began to work on the creation and composition of materials to be used in the scene. Even though this is a stage that is performed further into the process, I decided to bring this to the beginning of the process, because the main focus of this work was actually the materials. To mix the materials the shader “Top/Bottom” could also be used (it substitutes the world Z technique). Let`s see how that works: And finally a new subdivision to leave the mesh uniform.
