Matte Painting Tips

[@danielbatto]

that work is incredible, I've been trying to do some Matte Painting for a couple of years, I thought that this year I would use it to practice, but my PC died so I could only do 2 or 3 practices throughout the year

[@Nova3674]

Im an aspiring 23 yr old themed entertainment designer who works in the industry in concept and technical development and you and your team have brought me so much inspiration and skill sets that extend beyond my industries standards. It started off as an interest where I self taught myself photoshop and sketchup and it has now grown beyond a hobby of mine and into a career path. Your videos and projects give so much to strive for in pushing beyond my boundaries and comfort zone in developing my skill set. Thank you and continue to create amazing art, architecture and environments.

[@Arqui9visualisation]

Hi Andre, many thanks for your kind words, really appreciate the fantastic feedback, just keep pushing forward, there are so many other videos on youtube which are great to follow as well. Just keep exploring and experimenting!

[@Nova3674]

ARQUI9 Visualisation many thanks for your response! Is there anyway I can have more contact with you (such as an email) as I would love to further my relationship with you and your team. If not, again many thanks and I look forward to your next projects and videos and will be following very closely.

[@PedroVencore]

I was like but this is are pretty standard tips , nothing particularly good , but when you threw that tip about the screen mode instead of levels I was omg genius this is gold , and the thing about the final size is another gold nugget , thank you for the tips!

[@MertBert]

Thank you!

Skipping 1.3rd of the video is a bad way to learn...

[@darkmerrygoround]

@@Manishshriyan you must be having a bad day, but that doesn't mean you can be rude. But I do hope you're doing better now 😊

[@traxxx8720]

Very nice tips as always. Back when I started to create my first archviz, they were absolutely aweful and I used to be satisfied of it though. Now I'm creating much better viz but I'm never getting satisfied of it. We always tend to be kind of impatient to achieve such result, but as you perfectly said it, it's all about practice, practice and practice... Thanks Pedro !

[@marccruz5765]

you all prolly dont care at all but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me

[@ruuuuudooooolph]

Wow.... I always used to think u were like in your 20's. U sound that way... Thank u for the tips !!

[@Austraman]

Rudy R I wish i was in my early 20s, but in my 20s in spirit hehe. early 30s ;)

[@Filmthechannel]

Yeah that dude has a real youthful voice.

[@TrevorDennis100]

I use the copied layer set to Screen, but I have not been increasing its contrast, so that was helpful. Another trick I use is to Ctrl click the mask or layer to load its outline as a selection, and stroke that with white. Mask out everything but the edges facing the light, and feather in according to what works. This also works with back lit objects were you want to rim light them, except you'd maybe warm the stroke colour a wee bit. BTW I found this video looking for matte painting tips, and I have a feeling I shall be watching some more of them. [EDIT] I thought I'd expand on the rim lighting technique I mentioned. A straight stroke works OK as a hard highlight, but when feathering in a back lit subject I use a thicker stroke , and stroke the centre of the selection. I then blur the stroke to feather it away from the outside edge, and clip the stroke layer to the object layer. Making the stroke layer a Smart Object before applying the stroke gives you some flexability. If the blur thins the stroke too much, duplicate the layer. You can use a variation of this to relight just an edge with a copy of the object layer set to screen. Give the screen layer a hide all mask, and Ctrl click the object layer to load the selection, and stroke with white whit the layer mask selected. There's an added bonus to this one as you can feather the mask nondestructively. I think people sometimes forget thay you can treat a layer mask pretty much the same as the image, so you can Ctrl click the mask to load it as a selection, and Modify > Contract or Expand. Or you can turn on Quick Mask after Ctrl clicking so you can see the mask in red, and then apply Gaussian blur, thus seeing how far the blur extends. I am giving that as an example, but I would always use Mask Properties to feather a mask for obvious reasons.

[@Arqui9visualisation]

Great to hear, thanks for the support Trevor

[@JacekIrzykowski]

Don't we love the Hudson River School references? I remember Dylan Cole also taking lot of inspiration from them. Personally I'm not huge fan of the deer in the paintings but still, I like what you have done in terms of lighting and composition. Well done!

[@Karimozoro]

I never new that I already now matte painting. I thought it was something very complicated. I already do this in camera matching for archViz. Many Thanks!!

[@Arqui9visualisation]

Hah nice, don't forget to share your progress with us [e-mail]

[@larchmt]

These are the best tutorials I have run across. Thank you for your hard work!

[@Arqui9visualisation]

Thanks Logan, more are coming!

[@lovethegamer45]

​@@Arqui9visualisation Hi bro how to download this file

[@daboi_yoyo]

Can you guys make a color grading tutorial, please!

[@Loriot1990]

That would be absolutely perfect. Still grading my pictures with the NIK Collection, but would love to get a look directly with adjustment layers.

[@JWS1968]

A10 min tutorial is about right for something like this. Hit and run information no rambling on. And I loved that you weren't just doing another 'push this button then push that button' style tutorial. Talking about the theory and methodology and the strategy is something that is left out far too often because it isn't deemed sexy enough. I would love to hear and see more on relighting. It's such a hard topic to get your head around and there are loads of people out there doing tutorials on it but are those people any good themselves? Not so sure. Different examples day and night, hard sunlight overcast daylight. SNOW! where there was no snow etc.

[@La-verdad-aunque-duela]

Thanks so much for this video. I would like to see a step by step video tutorial on how to do this wonderful landscape you show in this video, a BIG THANKS man.Is it possible to get a downloadable psd project so I can have a better idea on how you work on your layers? :)

[@jasonevetts508]

Hey Pedro! Awesome tutorial, probably one of the best. I had no idea screen did that. Could you guys maybe do a run through the differences between those layer options and how they boost archi viz? Thanks a lot!

[@Arqui9visualisation]

Cheers Jason, shall see what we can come up with!

[@עדוגיארז]

Hey man thank you alot, I'm a student for interior design and your videos helped me alot. really. Like im drawing and make artistic things now in another level now, so much better then before. so i thank you for that. Waiting for the courses to be open!

[@yacinejulian6678]

[@bristothomas3526]

[@darkspeed62]

[@aitwade]

Exceptionally good exceptionally professional information unmatched ever I have seen on KZbin about digital painting. This is the best example of hybrid approach of digital printing including photograph and Digital Printing techniques of software. It is simply awesome experience... Hence subscribed obviously...

[@ShakyFootage]

[@khaledalkindi1519]

[@gagankumar5941]

Awesome video sir but can you help me please? I am new to photoshop (i have only used it for 2 months) and want to become a master like you and other people out there. So, what should i do to improve myself? I mean where to start? Please suggest me something. Thank you Gagan :)

[@ithilweenshadowsong8151]

I have seen your vids and i love them!! but i got a huge question for you: you have a project and a viz -section cut, exterior or interior with a window- of it and of course a location, in your vids i always see you use your pack of pics from different locations *but*, what if the client wanna see the actual location of this project in the viz? it would be interesting to see your workflow on this situation and more if that location already has something on it, like in a urban enviroment

[@karenctran]

Can you please do a tutorial of day to night? Or a rainy night tutorial? I have trouble with reflection and lights. I would love to purchase the psd file if you do make those.

[@Arqui9visualisation]

Will definitely keep this in mind for the next ones, thanks!

[@karenctran]

ARQUI9 Visualisation Oh yay you replied! I purchased the "Illustrating an Architectural Plan in Photoshop" psd files because I'm a noob (second year architecture student) and it helps so much! Thanks for everything!

[@iamnow8]

Extremely great video, very well balanced and useful, keep posted !

[@DylanDuffyDoty]

I've seen the cover of that book before, the Worlds concept art book behind you in the beginning but can not find it. I was just curious where I could find one

[@Arqui9visualisation]

Its a fantastic book, you can find it here www.iamag.co/features/store/worlds-by-raphael-lacoste/

[@lunatic_3521]

I completely get why this for one saves up tons of times for studios and the second can be a fun way of painting but I personally totally dislike it. I'm in love with thumbnailing by looking at reference and coloring with my stylus and the brush tool, I just need that painting feeling and can't stand this style. Hope my opinion is respected as much as the opposite is from me x)

[@flomasteraran1340]

Really good tips ! Thank's !

[@josephvitale93]

I´m an architect that also works on game design on the side. Just got my bachelors degree and I was wondering, which academic route did you take to learn your skills and how did you achieve balance between practicing real architectural design and the fantasy stuff? do you make profit from both?

[@madddmunky]

Great tips!

[@mojtabamirkatooli2247]

i have a question, what's the difference between matte paint and photo bashing?

No, you need to paint over some on so it not looks 100% photo. That's why it's called matte painting
