Hi to all, :wavey:
I work as a visual effect artist in Italy… for film, for events and for advertising, mainly in the role of compositing and graphics.
I know a little about 3D and motion graphics. Sometimes I also work as a matte painter…I would do something more about it, so, there’s nothing better for me than confront with all of you!

Bye,
Chiara.

PS: I’m very sorry for my English … :rolleyes:

Hey all
So nice to see great work and new painters on here. Just wanted to introduce myself, as I’ve worked with Milan, a great pleasure i might add, and am excited about his new book and his endeavors on the forums. I’ve been in the industry 10 years, 6 as a matte painter and am currently in Vancouver @MPC which currently has a quickly expanding environment department.
Great to be a part of the thread, will check in with more.
Cheers!

Hey all, I joined up CGSociety recently to participate in the Kreola Matte challenge. I’m not a matte painter or a professional. I’ve been self-teaching while working a day job for the last two years. I mutilated my first matte painting about a year ago, so after working on my my fundamentals and general skills and seeing the Kreola challenge I figured it’s about time to get a second shot at mutilating my second matte painting, hopefully a little bit less than the first.

If you wanted you can check out my general mojo here:

Glad to be aboard!

Hi there, just dropping in to say hello…

I can’t really call myself a matte painter any more as I’m being phased out and replaced by “environment artists” and 3D software so you’ll probably find me on a dusty shelf somewhere in a few years and brush me off and say "hey this is one of those old-school artists who used to actually sculpt and paint stuff…how weird is that!’

Best
James

My name is Joel. I’m interested in matte painting and creating photoreal and convincing pieces and developing my abilities here. Should be fun.
