Most backgrounds were modeled in 3D, with geometry sculpted with [[Autodesk 3ds Max|Discreet 3ds Max]] and texturing done with [[Adobe Photoshop]]; one method of replicating the source material's visual style was through black edging 3D objects with Toon Shader. There were also 2D animated backgrounds and visual effects created with [[Adobe After Effects]] and [[Avid DS]]. The characters are animated in high quality 3D, while objects in the backgrounds are black edged to give them a 2D cartoon feel.
