Abstract
An 2D layer containing texture coordinate information is inserted into a layered image snapshot of a 3D scene perspective. The layered image snapshot can be painted using 2D painting techniques and then imported back into the 3D scene by using the texture coordinate information to map modified pixels back into the 3D scene.
