Hi SamTherapy,

Sorry ... I couldn't resist the chance of a few more Gallery views - before ALL nudity becomes unacceptable at R'osity (hints at the conspiracy theorists warnings of a total nekkidness ban as suggested in some of the discussions about the new changes in the marketplace) - Yikes, where would I go?!

Is that first scene one complex PZ3 and did you have to hide or remove the figures that were not in the area render? Would area rendering still be ok if you were using raytraced multiple bounces where off-render figures could affect the rendered area (e.g. by shadow or reflection)? Also did you limit the texture size?
What was your criteria for the extent of each area rendering? i.e. did you aim for a max of n figures per area?

Sorry for the 20 questions but I really prefer doing complicated scenes with much more than a single figure, so I'm always interested in any tools or techniques that can help to get a tricky scene rendered.

Thanks,
Jovial.
