Thanks Geep. I'll try to think of how to answer the 1,2, and 3. The sets I like to use are those by Stringy all of which I love but are difficult in some instances since it is difficult to sort out the props that constitute the various room components: http://market.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?vendor=17906 And several by ratracer I find somewhat easier to use, the large ones that is... his Cheap Hotel is beautiful but difficult to navigate: http://market.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?vendor=178024 I try to move things around using top view but the orthogonal views are very difficult for me to control... I get things like vertical or lateral shifts when I try to zoom in. With my other camera s in a scene I have trouble getting full figures with out tremendous fish eye effect. Also my cameras seem either sluggish or zip right out of control... I wish hither/thither worked in the renders :( I'll try to think of other scenes or maybe show you some birds eye vantages of some scenes so you can see what is involved... maybe I can find a free set to point you to... Thanks.
