Didier Konings: The Abandoned City matte painting tutorial 

I'm saving this video in my matte painting playlist for further studying.

One of THE best things I have seen on RU-vid this year! The attention to detail is mind blowing! THANK YOU!!

This truly is an incredible tutorial, keep up the great work Didier!

I love watching your work!

Great Job Mr. Didier. I love your work. Thanks for the video

Thankyou so much for explaining the process and the thought process as well 😍

Really great work! 🎉

nice work! its always fun to do matte painting of a post apocalyptic city!

I love these sort of matte paintings. I worked on this indie film Dreaming of a White Doomsday so I was ready to do a full on apocalyptic town (yeah it's really a cliche but... hey?!" but all I had to do was to 2D paint a abandoned grey dirt covered plain and some "White Cliffs of Dover" like structures for the foreground. Another shot I just had to put in a wooden collapsed building -- which was fun because the location manager asked during the screening: "Where's this shot?" The director said: "Are you kidding me, that's the lumberyard where we snuck in on Sundays!" -"I can't recall that house there?!" "Seriously dude? That's mattepainted and comped in by Ray!" And I did some snowy set extensions. I like doing 3D as well but it takes SOOOOO much more time than just doing a 2.5D projection.

Such a helpful video and well explained, thank you so much for this!

Didier thanks for that, really cool tut. And very cool work.

Nice tutorial. explained well. Thank you!

How did you create that sunrise? What did you use to create that effect?

Where would i be able to buy/download PNG's of foliage like the ones used in this video?

Wow awesome

Thank youuuuu!

very cool

Great video. Highly appreciated. For future reference, the background music sometimes makes it hard to hear the commentary.

Hi! Here just wondering where did you get those ripped clothes! Trying to find out something similar but no success so far!

Carbon based lifeforms ❤️

exellent thx!

I am always worried about the copyrights when i do that type of work. How do i stay in the legal zone when i mix images?

Hey do you take the photos yourself ? Cause I'm having a real hard time finding some city images on the internet.. And fitting everything to the perspective.

well done

Can you provide us the link of those resources you've used.... Thank you in advance 🙂

I was wondering to know how to search for the stocks and find what I imagine

What is the music? It's very calming.

how can find the file ? plants car and etc

Great tutorial, don't need the background music.

I AM LEGEND

Gemial, aunque pierde tiempo en darle detalles a cosas que al final ni se notan, como por ejemplo el anuncio del taxy, para que cambiarlo si al final quedo igual, no se nota lo que era!

Not a matte painting, strictly speaking, is it? You couldn't have this as a background in a movie and it be believable as the actual background - which is what matte paintings are used for. Yours is a concept painting.
