Thanks for the responses! The background pics are rarely taken from a single photograph; and they are always massaged and enhanced in Photoshop before being used in Poser. For example, the narrow hallway background in the picture illustrating the 'one figure at a time' blog entry was created by taking a picture of a hallway, copying half of it and reversing it, and then matching it up with it's opposite-- in other words, creating a hallway whose sides are mirror images. To disguise this, I covered up one of the boxes you see in the middle-ground of the hallway, so you see only a box on one side. Then I applied a 'twirl' filter to it to make it twist a little bit in a surrealistic fashion, and I worked it over with contrast and darkening to make it more atmospheric. Photoshop is quite a bag of tricks, and I'll be writing more about the stuff I do to create these backgrounds. Regarding compositing versus using muttiple figures-- Nowadays I always use compositing. I used to use multiple figures if the characters were actually touching. But I've come to realize that there are better ways of creating the effect of touching with compositing. And with V3 and M3 figures, you practically don't have a choice any more, unless you're working with massive processing capacity (I've got a Mac G4 with dual processors).
