Here is matte piece I had to do for class. It has 3d elements (the trees) done in XSI and photoshop elements as well. I had the family go out into the backyard and pose for me. I then created the matte painting in photoshop. The mist and sparkles and other slight tweaks were all painted in. I had to upload the original into xsi to get the perspective right for when I modelled the trees. Nothing to difficult, just wanted to post my first and only matte painting to date. B
