Submission rule:

Matte Painting is a photo real approach to combine photographs, 3D and painting techniques to match the plate and replace green/blue screen.

Please do not confuse this with Illustration or concept art.

Successful matte painting in film is indistinguishable from the rest of the scenery.

Tried my hand at some Matte Painting.

Not too much of a pro. Used some motorcycle parts to make the ships. Overlapped different textures. Hope you guys like it.

Searching for background mattes from ‘close encounters of the third kind’

Recently saw ‘close encounters’ in the cinema and was blown away by the sublime matte images of farmland and mountains. Does anybody know any sources where I can find high quality pictures of these mattes (or even prints)?

Online challenges

Does anybody know of a site that host regular challenges? I'd like to better my skills and think online challenges with a brief and a deadline will help me improve. Whenever I do a search the results usually show sites with finished challenges with no new ones.
