Over the course we learned a lot about the history of matte painting, different types of mattes, lenses, photographs, color, composition and process. I'll be sure to post up some of the work I did over the next week or so but here's my final take on our cityscape assignment. Still a few spots I think could be addressed, but damn if it wasn't a blast trying something new for the first time. This matte process is pretty addictive.



So for the past 2 months I've been taking an online course in mattepainting. The course is held through CGSociety and the instructor is David Luong (who btw is one of the nicest persons you'll ever speak with) He works over at a little indy studio called Blizzard Entertainment and is pretty much responsible for every badass Blizzard cinematic you've ever seen. That new Warlords of Draenor video? Yeh that's him and his teamOver the course we learned a lot about the history of matte painting, different types of mattes, lenses, photographs, color, composition and process. I'll be sure to post up some of the work I did over the next week or so but here's my final take on our cityscape assignment.

Extra thank you to my buddy for providing the original plate that he shot out in his travel to Germany, and to and and everyone else in the course for their valuable input. Appreciate it!
