PROJECT PRESENTATION 2.5D Matte Painting Mikael Widegren gsCEPT 2007 Slide 2 INTRODUCTION - Matte paintings are used to create virtual movie sets or extend current sets. - They can be either hand-painted or a composite of existing photographs. - A technique used to add a third dimension to a flat photo or picture, allowing camera movement within it. 2.5D - This makes it necessary to add animated objects inside the photo, to enhance the illusion of life (such as birds, clouds and other elements). Slide 3 - To create an impressive establishing shot of an environment. PROJECT GOALS - Learning more about the matte painting techniques used in modern films today. - Apply the concept of 2.5D imagery to a landscape. PHASES PHASE 1:Concept art. PHASE 2:Research. PHASE 3:Production. Slide 4 PHASE 1 Concept Art Goal: to decide the setting and mood of the final piece. Slide 5 PHASE 1 Concept Art Goal: to decide the setting and mood of the final piece. Slide 6 PHASE 1 Concept Art Goal: to decide the setting and mood of the final piece. Slide 7 PHASE 1 Concept Art Goal: to decide the setting and mood of the final piece. Slide 8 PHASE 1 Concept Art Goal: to decide the setting and mood of the final piece. Slide 9 PHASE 2 Camera mapping / 2.5D Research Goal: to become familiar with the use of camera mapping and 2.5D images. Original photo Slide 10 PHASE 2 Camera mapping / 2.5D Research Result: -> Original photo3D scene set up to match redbox.mov Goal: to become familiar with the use of camera mapping and 2.5D images. Slide 11 PHASE 2 Camera mapping / 2.5D Research Result: -> Original photo3D scene set up to match Applying this technique to a landscape was one of the major goals of this project, as its used heavily in modern post-production. redbox.mov Goal: to become familiar with the use of camera mapping and 2.5D images. Advantages - Faster than building the entire scene in proper 3D. - Its easy. - More direct control over the piece, from an artists point of view.
