Hi Guys, my first post here. I have been practising 3D modelling and rendering for a while now and have reached a level within those dicsaplines where I think I need to get a handle on post proscessing and in particular Matte painting. I have attached a few images of where I am at. I mostly do fairly close images due to the limitations of 3D models and renders (Computers ability to handle such large copmp

Hi @Stephen_Day - Welcome to the forum.

In terms of photo manipulation, Krita can do a lot but that’s not its main focus. There are other apps that are more complete. However it’s very handy to stick with a single app so I do some photo manip. in Krita because I’m familiar with it and I don’t do anything fancy. A YouTube channel that helped me a lot is PhotoLearningism. That YouTuber teaches how to use Krita in that way.

For matte painting, well just give it a try. Many love painting with Krita. You have incredible control over your brushes.

Have you already started to paint in Krita?
