Hi all,crikey!..grab some sleep & I'm swamped in comments :),thank you all for the interest

Chuck..
"(1) "Will this model you show above be "fixed" like this (meaning the "accessories" will be permanently in those positions) or will the "accessories" just load from a MAT pose?"
the main prop will propably be parented pieces,everything loaded as one,yet each piece still moveable by itself

"Looking at the first shot, on the right, near the corner of the wall, a small pipe extrudes through the wall...another possible steam point?"

I'm thinking of adding another vent below that for steam,aswell as the manhole cover..I just need to perfect a transmapped steam prop for the scene.something that would look good in animation too.

"What about lighting? Something anchored to the wall(s)? Moveable light posts?"
yup:)..I'll add a couple spotlights above the other 2 doors,and one in the props folder too,the light above the back door would be best suited to an omni light.

Strixowl,little D..cheers guys :)

madkat ..:( unfortunately I dont yet have P5,I do ensure there are no colinear facets(which p5 doesnt like)..but that's as far as any P5 tweaks go,you may need to adjust bump maps in P5,and of course turn off poly smoothing,.
Getting P5 & having specific P5 textures is still on my list of things to do,displacemet mapping for instance would be ideal for a brick texture here.add some reflection to the windows & your away!
I'm sure you wont miss it when its available,It'll be heavily promoted here and at Daz :)

iw43d ,ernyoka1,jade_nyc ,ynsaen ..thanks :)

Suede,pleased to hear the proportions appear ok,its all modelled by eye so there's always a risk my objects scaling will be off,fortunately thuogh aside from th bottles this one turned out ok."dance number from West side story,lol..thats the cool thing about making these for the Poser community,you never know what people are going to with it.

Jeff,xeno,guarie,..cheers guys :)
