I don't normally plug things, but I just wanted to comment on how great I think caleb68's DarkAges Construction Kit is (available in the Marketplace -- and no, I don't receive any kickback for saying this). Even rendered very large, it comes out quite nicely. I used it on the image above, and within a short span of time, I was able to give the suggestion of a village background usable not just for the Dark Ages, but the Middle Ages or Renaissance (depending on where your setting is). The dresses are Steve Shanks and Renapd's Juliet Dress and textures from the Poser 3 CD -- also lovely work. (I know the wagon wheel is cut off on the bottom -- the ground was placed too high.) Mike

Oh I second your opinion on the above models. Especially the Dark Ages kit. That's why I bought it again after I got my refund, it is a nice set of models. Also happy that I subscribed to Poserworld. I owned the first two CD's but I had held off getting the third. Now I have it and more. Worth the price just for the CD's. Marque

With different characters, the picture above could also be part of an "old west" scene.
