📝 Description

This isn’t just a collection of random tutorials. The MattePaint Academy Tutorials Bundle (2020) is a structured deep dive into the entire digital matte painting pipeline, exactly as it’s done in professional VFX studios.

You’ll start with the core Photoshop skills: masking, texture extraction, and photobashing. Then you move into 3D with Blender and Maya, learning how to build geometry for set extensions and light it properly. Finally, you bring it all together in Nuke with advanced camera projections and compositing techniques.

The bundle covers everything from basic plate cleanup to complex 2.5D projections. Each module builds on the last, so you’re not just watching random techniques—you’re learning a complete production workflow. The focus is always on practical, real-world application for film and VFX.
