From Traditional To Digital
Traditional matte painting is older than the movie camera itself and has actually been already practiced in the early years of photography to create painted elements in photographs. With the advantages of the digital age Matte Painters have slowly transitioned to a digital work environment, using pressure sensitive pens and graphic tablets in conjunction with a painting software such as Adobe Photoshop. A Digital Matte Painter is part of a visual effects team being involved in post-production, as opposed to a traditional Matte Painter who was member of a special effects crew, often creating Matte Paintings on set to be used as back-drops.

Famous quotes containing the word traditional:
“We should have an army so organized and so officered as to be capable in time of emergency, in cooperation with the National Militia, and under the provision of a proper national volunteer law, rapidly to expand into a force sufficient to resist all probable invasion from abroad and to furnish a respectable expeditionary force if necessary in the maintenance of our traditional American policy which bears the name of President Monroe.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
