5. The ground plane layer is color graded to make it lighter. In addition, a CG female
warrior is brought in as a layer. At this point, it’s difficult to see the warrior over the
background.
6. The warrior layer is color graded. A smoke render is sandwiched between the fore-
ground and the robot. A glow render is added to the end of the warrior’s weapon.
7. A smoke render is added to the foreground as a top layer. CG lasers and starbursts are
imported.
8. Environmental fog is added to the background to make the foreground characters
easier to see. The CG buildings are also blurred. All the layers are color graded toward
a sepia tone and are given artificial film grain and dirt.
