As Baldrick would say, "I have a cunning plan.." Thanks to all you guys brainstorming this problem I now have a working solution. I figure that I can fill up say the right side of the 'arena' with the figures I need, render, save and then delete and start again on the left side...... There are about 31 figures so far. The most I'll need are another 15. I realised that I can avoid shadow problems by careful planning. The landscape, apart from the volcano (rear-centre) is one piece - a Bryce Island - so I can't really mess with it. It also provides some great shadows and I don't want to screw those up either. This could be fun after-all! Thanks, guys!
