Once I got the first Wave Tile basically figured out (I don't profess to totally grasp all the controls completely- just enough to control the surfaces like I want) I saved that Wave Tile in the Props section. Then I started reloading it one at a time. Of course Poser starts naming each one so I generally started from the front, sliding each one into place, and then working back. So in general this means that low numbers will be in front and higher numbers in the back- so you have an idea of where to go to raise the surfaces in the back area of the model set (Boxes 11-16 as example). Positioning each box isn't easy, so it takes a little time to move your model around to make sure the X, Y and Z axis line up. This is why, so far and until a simplier method is devised (like Grouping maybe?) it would be difficult to distribute these sets as downloadable freestuffs. Most people would be confused about what is going on. So for now I think it is best for people to "build their own" as they will then know "how they got there". But I can see that creating Model Sets- just like Movie and TV show sets, will be something that Poser model makers will want to get into. There is LOTS of potential here. I could see a really nicely created Wave Tile Set selling like the Zygote Eagle for $49-$99 with textures. It just all needs to be further refined somewhat but I am certain that this can be done so most people won't have to worry about too much technical stuff. In the meantime build your own and get the hang of it. I am sure more ideas will emerge as more people try this out.
