Digital Matte Artist

A Digital Matte Artist, or Digital Matte Painter (DMP), is today's modern form of a traditional Matte Painter in the Entertainment Industry. He or she digitally paints photo-realistic interior and exterior environments that could not have been otherwise created or visited.

The term 'digital' is used to distinguish a DMP from a traditional Matte Painter, although this is unnecessary, as the nature of a Matte Painter's work remains the same, regardless of the tools and techniques used.
