uhh no, I don't really have a stance on matte painting (and there's no point in reading between the lines - there's just whitespace there :biggrin: )
That probably is a matte painting. There's lots of controversy at CGSociety about many things :) I have no great experience with Matte painting but it's quite common in films (or so I'm lead to believe) and can contain elements of 3D renders and photographs. Provided it suits the directors purpose, who cares how it's made ? (apart from peeps who don't do it for a living but nonetheless have strong opinions on it - that's a dig at CGSociety, not you btw)
