Thanks mrsparky
No probs.
I wonder why no one has created a seated crowd freebie,
Because you'd have to make and pose the human figures, you can't just use dork (or other models) and give that away. Know that one as in 1 early freebie accidentally included dork in a vue freebie and a mod here pointed my noob mistake.
I plan on comicbook style renders.
Follow imax24's suggestion.
If you can't find any non-copyrighted pics, then get a "comping" image from istock or corbis, that'll only cost a buck or 2 and you'll be legal.
Comping images are low res piccys used for magazine page layouts and are well handy in poser as we don't render that high.
Blur it to fake DOF, import as background and you'll make your characters stand out which'll improve the 3d effect. Then either a render action like estherau suggests or postwork like imax24.
estherau's technique of detailed stuff at the front and low at the back can be used on textures as well. High res maps at the front, low res at the front.
