Creating a Matte

Video Transcript

Okay, so here we've got some fire, which is in front of the background. And we don't want that fire to be over those fireplace railings there. So, what I'm going to do is make a matte painting for that, which will sort of cut out that shape.

I'm going to turn that layer off and then I'm going to add a new drawing layer. I'm going to call this: fire_matt. [Add] and Close. So I'm going to go and paint this black.

There we go and that's my matte.
