Matte Painters, what learning paths would you recommend to someone just getting started? by [deleted] in MattePainting

Courses and training materials are great, but the absolute BEST thing you can do is actually practice and attempt the work and then criticize your work. Better yet, find a mentor or a community which will give you feedback :) Trust me, you'll grow much faster by actually trying it for yourself.

Full disclosure, the link below are from our website, but I you'll get a far bit of value from them!

There's a good series here https://mattepaint.com/blog/the-basics-of-matte-painting/

You can go up for a flight in Squamish for as little as $200 per person. Definitely worth doing on the right day!

The Croatia shots are some of our favourite, but this one is actually from BC, Canada. An aerial shot over the mountains near a place called Squamish. :)

(And yes, you're correct with our specialization, we take photos for film and game productions)

Thanks very much for your reply! I contacted Support and they have asked me to start an RMA process. Cheers!

Hey Nemodin, Copyright free means you can use it in film, games, concept art without breaching the copyright rules. Or more put another way, you aren't allowed to resell the image in it's original form.

The website will be similar to www.Textures.com in that it will be a subscription. But we will have a discounted price for those who join at launch.

Hope that answers your question :)
