Personally how I go about doing a scene is the following; 1. have an idea for and image and think of the cast I'll need. 2. load poser and wait (Poser 5 reading a 51 GB runtime folder. 3. load one character at a time and pose them as if the set was full of props. 4. load and pose each figure as needed for the idea. 4a. Set up the camera to my idea as the prime shot. Use the aux cam to pose and check spacing in the scene. 5. set the basic lighting for the figures. 6. Load in the props and move them into place as they need to be and parent them to the figure they are for. Incase after the shot i decide to move a figure. 7. Load the rest of the set in relation to the prime shot. 8. test render in poser4 engine to see where the lights are hitting and ajust as needed. 9. save PZ3. 10. switch to the fire fly on production mode and render. 11. pray it renders, and read a thick novel, scoop out all the cat litter boxes, mow th yard (I run w2K with 2.5 Ghz processor and 1GB memory)
