creating a matte painting using either Adobe Photoshop or Maya.

SUGGESTED SOFTWARE : Adobe Photoshop, Maya
REQUIREMENTS : Matte Paintings should be created at larger than final render, so you can push in on them, or use them as backgrounds for other shots. If you plan on creating a pan or tilt, your matte painting might be very wide or tall. Create yours at a minimum of 3840 x 2160 pixels.
Submit both your source (working) file (e.g. PSD with layers, your Maya scene) and a production quality asset–a TIFF file with no compression and layers intact.
