I just heard that a film and television work is called Digital Landscape Painting! What is this for?

Matte painting, the full name of which is digital matte painting, has been translated into "digital landscape painting" in China, which is technically called "mask painting" and more intuitively called "scene painting", but at present, domestic film and television circles prefer to call it "digital landscape painting".

Artists engaged in matte painting are called "matte painters" (digital landscape painters).

Matte painting is an industry title, not a separate software.

The main software used includes:

Image synthesis software (Photoshop, Painter, Pixelmator, photo collage, etc. )

3D production software (Blender, 3D Max, Maya, Vue, ZBrush, Mud, SketchUp, etc. )

Post-synthesis software (NUKE, After Effect, Shake, Fusion, Final Cut, etc. )

Technical requirements of matte painters

Artistic achievements include:

The perspective, atmosphere, color, light and shadow, texture and material processing technology of large scenes, and the combination of 2D and 3D all need to communicate with creative personnel such as directors, conceptual designers, modelers and special effects artists. A top matte painter can at least photograph the last three.
