Description : Being in love with the art of Matte Painting, I collected these tutorials over one year from numerous onlineresources and eventually compiled them into this document. Originally intended for personal use only, I thought that maybe some people out there might be interested too, so I deceided to relase them to the public. No big thing, and defenitely nothing new - I just gathered these tutorials to have them all in one place. And if any - or all - of these tutorials happen to be new to you - even better! A great thanks goes out to all the artist who put a lot of their time and energy into the creation of these tutorials. Happy painting! (MBP aka Bass.T , 12/04)
