Catlin, I cant take any credit for the actual models, the buildings are Zippys, (whatever happened to him, I used to look forward to his models?), and the sloop in the other picture was Sam Samuels, along with a load of other poser and 3ds freebies whose creators I have forgotten. I just arrange them. I spend an hour or two on the poser figures using grouper and put them all into a folder and then just pop them on one by one. And when I say a day, I generally mean all day. Unemployment helps, LOL. Maddog, same with the skies. This one is Eagleeye by Zero Tolerance, one of my favourite sky makers. I just twidled the knobs a bit. I think 2d figures may be the way to go. These Poser figures seem to kill my machine. And Bikermouse, I was thinking it needed something in the middle, like a monument or statue, but a well is worth thinking about too. The problem with lores figures is that most of the interesting clothing, (mine comes from Poserstyle and Poserworld,) is made for Mike and Vikki and theyre a bit heavy for background stuff but you`ve got to use them. get half a dozen mil figures in there and I guess you get slowdown. Thanx for all the feedback.
