Hi Boni, looks like your project is progressing nicely. One suggestion I have is to make sure that you get the scale correct before getting too far along in your constructions. A good trick is to export from Poser or Daz a base figure in a standing position and one in a sitting position. That way you can check, for example, that when your exported figures backside is sitting on a seat in your ampitheatre that their feet are on the ground and the clearance behind them for the next seat is correct. You can also check that any steps are at the right spacing and height, entrances have the correct clearances etc. I do a lot of work compositing 3D models into photos of empty properties for real estate agents and I use this trick for almost every job I do to make sure that the scale of the lounge suites, dining room chairs and tables, beds etc are correct for the room that I am virtually staging.

This is very good advice. Proportions are important, especially in the seating. That's another good reason to work with base mesh and lower polygon base models as much as possible because they're easier to edit than something you have sculpted. If you need to make adjustments to the proportions of the stairs, for example, there are techniques to allow that without having to remodel anything from scratch.

I don't know anything about Poser. So perhaps Keppel can guide you in the right direction as far as preparing the models for export to that package. I personally don't own Poser, so I'm not sure how the import and scale variations work in that software.
