Matte painter and concept artist Garrett Fry has a look at using Photogrammetry for creating believable Matte paintings using both Mari and Nuke. This is an overview for Garrett’s DVD Advanced 3D Matte Painting Techniques. In the DVD, Garrett demonstrates the entire process for creating 3D matte painted and projected environments, touching on the topics modeling, texturing, lighting, rendering, painting and compositing. Garrett thoroughly discusses how to approach, problem solve and plan complex 3D projection based Matte Paintings using Maya, Nuke and Mari.
This is a free video, exclusive for The Foundry fans! Garrett will be explaining how matte painters use MARI and how it fits into their workflowThe Foundry
Garrett also has an overview for how Mari can be incorporated into the matte painting pipeline, showing how matte painters would use Mari. It is a workflow where Mari can be used for matte painting asset creation, and patching projections so they look correct, but it can also be used to build a complete 3D matte environment, with Photogrammetry modeled and painted projected elements.
