Все начинается с идеи. В этой главе мы собираемся начать с общего обзора и будем двигаться, используя фотографии и ссылки инструментов цветовой коррекции для создания основного вида живописи. очень быстрый и свободный процесс.

Описание: Concept

Everything starts with an idea. In this chapter, we are going to start
with a basic sketch and work our way up using reference photographs and
color correction tools to create the basic feel of the painting. A very
quick

and loose process, the idea of this step is to create a solid starting
point. We will be looking for relevant photo references and elements to
be used in the main painting, and roughly piecing them together to get
the general idea on paper.
Groupings

Time is money. One of the most important things while working in
Photoshop with hundreds of layers, is organization. By organizing your
layers in a logical way, you will not only make your own life a lot
easier, but you will also work much faster, and help the artists working
down the pipeline find layers quickly and easily. This translates
directly to productivity, not to mention sanity. Afterward, you will
never need to use "right click" to find a specific layer among hundreds
again!

Sky's the Limit

The Sky is the limit, and masking will get you there. Learn masking
techniques to extract complex shapes from photographs. You will learn
how to extract a city skyline from a cloudy, low contrast photo, in 2
minutes or less. Then we will learn to quickly clean the mask of
unwanted elements and add details directly to the buildings and
incorporate the sky and shoreline into the snowy scene by painting.

Ships Away

Multiple techniques will be used to mask the ship and remove it from
its background. We can then paint in elements that were impossible to
save with the mask and begin the process of actually incorporating the
ship into the scene by painting on snow and ice. We will also look at
the 3D tools built right into Photoshop to put together 3d shipping
containers from scratch.

Color Grading

Color correction and grading can be an extremely powerful tool. With
these simple, yet far-reaching concepts, we will compose the mood of the
scene. By manipulating colors and contrast, adding environmental
elements like fog, a vignette, and other filters we will create the
final, dramatic appearance.

Layering

Now we have to clean up our PSD file by organizing and merging down
layers where possible. The purpose of a matte painting is to be added to
a live plate or to be animated. Naturally, for that we need to send it
to camera projection or to compositing. Since we anticipate other
artists accessing and working with this file, we need to prepare it in
such a way that makes everything easy to find. We will flatten and
rename the layers, organize by planes, apply filters, etc. Then we're
ready to send to composite.

Compositing

Bring it to life! Here we will go over the final After Effects project
to show how the animation and camera were created. You will be able to
get an idea of how the project is set-up and what is needed to bring a
matte painting to life as a 2D animation.
