"By far the most commonly used tool for matte paintings is Photoshop." says in one of the matte painting article in fxguide.com and it goes on "It towers over all other programs, especially with recent additions to its painterly functions. The second most common - especially for those artists who also do concept art - is Corel Painter, a program that was built on natural brush simulation."
To be honest i am not into another Adobe Photoshop-Corel Painter discussion here, however, when i check Photoshop.Matte.Painting.Tutorial pdf book, i simply noticed another side of designs. As i call, discriminate between "Vulgar Matte" and "Matte Art"..
Of course i agree, in marketing economy, you are runing with time. In this situation, you cant work on thousands and thousands of frames each by each as a painter in any product, while your "dead-line" is smiling to you not so far, you must find easy, cheaper and faster solutions. As the tutorial shows, you simply find 4-5 photos, cut, copy paste to your main composition, give some filters, maybe some retouches.......use a render service to saving time and just kick it away.. This is a necessary ways maybe but what about art ?
As thefxguide.com shows the result "For many Photoshop artists it is hard to imagine using anything else. However, many concept artists and digi-matte painters use Painter. The primary motivation of most Painter artists is to produce a less rigid and more open style of image with much of the natural look that comes from natural media. If Photoshop comes from photo-retouch, Painter comes from drawing original images."
The digi-matte artists who use traditional way, such as, on a naked human body, dress it with their own brushes, drawing a backround then paint, give a dimension with their own way, and try to catch reality as posible as they can without using any cut, copy or paste system, Painter is indispensable.
But as i see in many profiles, someone who knows what is "decupe" and simply read 1-2 tutorials as Photoshop shows, can be a "matte painter" easily ?
No, surely i cant say that... this is not only a personal chooice or different styles.. This is more then that..There is a difference in main idea and i am sure you got it..
Before i continue to war between Photoshop&Painter with examples,, especially on Photoshop Creative Suit 3 which will be in market on April-May 2007, i want to learn your opinion first, wish to see what is in your hand..
So guys, what is your sword in this war ? and why ??
