In this second DVD in a series,
Chris Stoski illustrates the creation of several 3D matte paintings.
In the visual effects industry, directors are always asking
for moving cameras in matte paintings and Chris shows how this
is achieved. He creates two different environments and discusses
how a matte painter creates camera movement in these key scenarios.
In addition to Adobe Photoshop®, Chris uses Autodesk 3ds
Max, but the techniques can be implemented with other popular
3D software as well. From forward-moving dolly shots to lateral
helicopter aerials, Chris covers the essentials of 3D and 2.5D
matte painting for matte artists of all skill levels.
Over 2 1/2 hours of lecture.
