Digital Matte Painters are responsible for painting photo-real environments, elements and textures for matching into live action plates or to stand on their own as DMP plates. Digital matte paintings may also be used in a 3D environment and may be mapped onto 3D objects.

A strong understanding and sympathy for real-world materials and lighting is essential. DMP artists will work closely with the Modelling and Shading departments and therefore must have a basic knowledge of the practices of each of these disciplines.
