Matte painting is a filmmaking and visual effects technique in which artists create painted or digitally rendered backgrounds and environments that are combined with live-action footage to depict scenes that would be impossible or costly to film in reality. Concept artists and VFX studios use digital matte painting extensively in movies, television, and video games to build expansive or fantastical settings.
