This picture demonstrate a more complex scene
I rendered it in maya, the plants are paint effects (post processing)
please note that i can't separate the two plants but i need "plant 2" (see link above) to be behind the "fog", just like tree 2 is.
i think the solution is to use depth channel (correct me if i wrong)
so i have 2 images: main - trees, ground, and fog, and second - two plants
the main image contains a z channel (rla format)
i think i should apply the effect: Effect --> 3D Channel --> 3D Channel Extract (Z-Depth)
to the main layer, but what then? how do i use this information to put plant 2 behind the fog? (but have the two plants in the same layer)
any help will be appreciated
Edited: ok, there's a nice tutorial here:

i forgot to tell that the camera is always in move so i guess that what i want is out of reach?
