Learning About Matte Painting

[Dizon]

Hi guys,

Can you point me to good resources about Matte Painting? Tutorials, demos, forums, etc. will do. I admit that I don't know much about it. All I know is that they look very realistic. But that's why I want to know more just to give me an idea of the processes involved in creating one.

Thanks for the help! :)

The Invisible Art (http://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Art-Mark-Cotta-Vaz/dp/0811831361) (Out of print and expensive, but you might be able to find a library copy)

Ill back up both Ahim and Elwells posts there, there is a wealth of knowledge between the two. For learning, try:

I suggest Dylan Cole as a good starting point.

I've been trying to find that book for an affordable price for so long. Still searching.

I've always seen that book at the book store but I had no idea what it was about.


Thanks guys!!!
