Carolly, soory took me awhile to get to this, been quite busy and R'osity has just been so darn slo. I tried to check out this forum the other day and it wouldn't load after 5 minutes and so I moved on :( Anyhow, the background can be done in Vue, Bryce or any other software. It can even be done with a digital camera, but would have to be set as a background in Poser and rendered in Poser. Since this is basically a Poser Render contest, I had to make some limitations that things be rendered inside Poser, but I wanted to be felecible as well. This doesn't mean that you have to use this type background however, if you wish to use skydomes, cyclorama... it's all good. As for the figure question: Nope, it can be any figure and it doesn't have to be just one figure. The limitation is only that, at least, one of the figures you use (if more than one) must be rendered in Poser. The same goes for props. ;) Hope that helps, ---Will PS: This darn Bondware script didn't even email me when you replied. Kinda pisses me off..Go figure (?)
