Chris Stoski illustrates the creation of several 3D matte paintings. In the visual effects industry, directors are always asking for moving cameras in matte paintings and Chris shows how this is achieved. He creates two different environments and discusses how a matte painter creates camera movement in these key scenarios. In addition to Adobe Photoshop, Chris uses Autodesk 3ds Max, but the techniques can be implemented with other popular 3D software as well. From forward-moving dolly shots to lateral helicopter aerials, Chris covers the essentials of 3D and 2.5D matte painting for matte artists of all skill levels.

I really like this dvd though the first lesson at the begin was more for intermediate and advance level users and their was some explanation but I which their was more.
Now the second lesson where he work on the city that was really great and he went into a lot of detail I mean a lot of detail on how to prepare your image in Photo Shop so when you brought it in to 3D Max you would be good to go. Plus even if you only have PhotoShop you can learn a great deal.
