Matte painting is the process of using photoreferences, 3D objects, and digital painting to create digital artworks, usually for videogames, movies and other visual effects.  Starting with a concept sketch, the artist can then refine their concept by using photorealistic textures for objects in the scene.  Finally, the primary subject is either created in 3D, or greenscreened for a movie, and then a compositing team allows a camera to move through the virtual scene to create the illusion of a 3D environment, while adding dynamic effects such as moving clouds, dynamic lighting, smoke and fire, rain or other effects.
