Completed background painting composited with the 3-D animation.
The road needed some texture to match the rest of the background. In
this case, I used the Magic Wand tool to select the road. The road
texture and a tint of color were added by making a selection of the road
and filling the selection with a color overlay (Effects > Surface Control
> Color Overlay) set to Paper. This had the advantage of only adding
texture and a color adjustment, preserving the shadow of the running
figure on the road.

3-D programs can save
sequentially numbered files that are
easily opened as frame stacks in Corel
Painter. The swordswoman was
brought into Corel Painter for further
rotoscoping.
