Digital Matte Painting (DMP) & VFX Environment - Personal Project

This personal VFX project was developed as an exploration of digital matte painting, 3D environment creation, and photorealistic compositing. The scene began as a detailed digital matte painting in Photoshop, which was then projected in Nuke and enhanced with 3D elements created in Blender, forming a fully realised cinematic environment.

The goal was to push my understanding of photorealism and environmental storytelling, blending 2D and 3D workflows to achieve depth, scale, and atmosphere. This project allowed me to refine my lighting, projection, and compositing techniques.
