Have many people successfully used them? I would like to see some screen shots. |

um, rent some movies, especially older ones. The indiana jones and star wars trilogys have TONS of them. if you're asking (in a very vague, almost non-existant manner) if people here have used them with success, well, i doubt it, everyone wants flashy overused bullet time, even if the sequence has to happen in their backyard

im wondering why you posted the question in "Computer Magic".
Are you interested in the traditional way of doing matte paintings (a painted pane of glass in the front of the set), or rather using a computer to paint nonexisting objects in your set?
I've done some shots with digital paintings,
but i only removed objects (like road signs, car etc.).
Soon i will upload some clips for the "Trailer Home"...------------------

I am just interested in how _you_ guys have used matte paintings. I am interested in how they work out in the 'real world' of low bugdet filming 
And, I just figured that you/we would used digital mattes... as they would be cheaper and simpler than glass.

For what you're asking, I'm not sure 'matte painting' is the right term.Matte painting taken literally means actually painting a scene on a piece of glass and blacking out areas of the painting for optical compositing. I think lots of folks on this board have done digital compositing of scenes created in various 3d programs. I'd look specifically for posts about 3d terrain generators, like Terragen, vue d'esprit, WCS, etc. Those are very often used to create backgrounds that other images are superimposed on. Then of course there are legions of people using 3d suites like Max, Lightwave, etc. to create scenes and do compositing. I doubt many people here have the true 'hands-on' art talent to paint a realistic scene on glass. I know I sure don't! [This message has been edited by drnw04a (edited 01-02-2001).] | |
