Rotoscoping and Matte Painting in Blender

Roubal writes:

Hi ! In the world of Visual Effects, Rotoscoping, Matte Painting and Garbage Painting are necessary and complementary functions. They are used each time a cut-out in the image is necessary, to remove a background or unwanted objects in a shot. They can save a video shot when Chromakey is not possible, or not enough perfect to achieve the desired effect.

I have searched for a long time a good and affordable software to do both Rotoscoping and Matte Painting, but without finding out “The” software, simple enough and matching my budget. So, I decided to dig more in depths with Blender in this way.

Finally, I have built a setup allowing Rotoscoping and Matte painting to be rendered in one pass, and generating a directly usable alpha mask.

This setup is ready to use and provided in a simple Blend file, with a PDF tutorial.

Best regards,

Philippe
