With CINEMA 4D Release 11 you can now leverage the same powerful matte painting system developed by MAXON exclusively for Sony Pictures Imageworks and used in blockbuster features such as Polar Express, Open Season and Beowulf.

Digital matte painting provides much of the magic of movies, utilizing camera mapping to project detailed paintings onto simple geometry to create an environment that a 3D camera can move around and through. Projection Man revolutionizes the workflow for creating digital mattes, making it simple to setup an initial painting and even easier to patch the matte when necessary.
