Always have a problem getting all the props to work as the advertised render...Most have full scene to load but when I try to add addition props it just doesnt look right.

What is the secret? Work with cameras or? Example would be scene with lots of buildings, road etc. Like a puzzle you add items place them..

Could you be a bit mo9re specific as to what "looks right" means? I have no idea what is not working for you.

Guess just placement of items. Example..Purchased this

You have to add the sky etc but when I try to add another building looks really messed up....Can you tell I'm a noob?

As far as placement goes...

Scenes handle loading additional objects two ways. A> The additional items come in at pre-defined places in the scene, or, B> They load dead center of the scene.

If it is the latter, then all you have to do is use the translate X,Y, and Z controls to place the item wherever in the scene you want it. Hint: If you want it near something else in the scene... note the x,y,z coordinates of THAT item, then click on the new item and move to those coordinates. That gets the new item "in the neighborhood."

I'll keep trying. If others can do it, I will too. Just takes this thick head a bit longer

One of the tricks  I use for this is to change to the top down view in poser to look at the placement. This helps me to see things that are out of place easier and then move the x,y,z around. Try looking at it from different angles so it is easier to see what is out of place.

Thank you both for advice..

If the prop loads dead center, I just go to the top camera, click on it (hold down shift) and drag it where I want.

The images at that you linked look very good to me. So how can we say what's wrong with your images by looking at someone else's good images? Its like trying to diagnose what's wrong with your leg by looking at an x-ray of someone else's leg!

Perhaps you should show us one of your own renders, one that demonstrates the problem you want help with?

Ok will post as soon as I get it together...

Top camera is certainly a help in locating the individual items particularly if they are all ground based.  It is a while since I used this set you have highlighted but I think I remember that this set is on two levels, one on water level and then a higher town level.  Either that or there is an expansion which adds this twin level.  Anyway in instances like this I tend to set my screen up into a 3 or four port view (small down arrow in the bottom left corner of the scene window).  Now if I have a top front and left or right view I can precisely place any prop.  I use this a lot as I do Sci-Fi scenes and I want to align things on, or reletive to more than one plane.  Once I am happy with a sub-set of props I add them to a grouping so that I can move and scale them as a unit.

Ah good idea 4 port view. Never used it...Going to now..

Thank you
