Wonderful. Are you keeping cout of the number of models? Q

Cout? Cout? darn. Count.... Sorry.

Holy COW, chohole! Do we need to call Guinness? I beleive this scene contains the most characters I've ever seen. Nice rich setting. (Yes, P4 lives and breathes...grin)

Ah but I cheated, I didn't render it all in one hit, even Bryce couldn't manage that on my machine. And no Q I am not counting, but its 10 more than last time.

This is so great! Like taken out of "Gone with the Wind". Poser 4 is definately "back with the Breeze" ;o) What a LOT of characters. Cheat or not. Still a lot of work has been done here!

Ooooh! Cecil B. deMille would be jealous. (Come to think of it, those old film directors cheated in various ways, with stock footage, painted backdrops and so forth; this cheat is actually less obvious and more convincing than any I've seen in a deMille epic.)

Nice work. THis is a great picture. So tell us how you rendered it with all those characters.

Every time I've seen this, you've made some minor adjustment as well to the lighting, and it just keeps getting better and better.

your lighting of the scene is getting better every time!! The lights from the windows look great!

What mansion (model) is that? I don't think I recognize it. Q

Every time I see this scene, it just gets better and better. I haven't gotten P5 yet, because of the bugs, which seem considerable. After seeing what you've done with P4, I'm not sure I need it. This is awesome! keep it up! Poser 4 rules!

Answers:- How I rendered it. I used Bryce to render I did it in slices, best way to describe it. Used the main set up and only the figures that appeared in those "slices" then layered it all together very carefully in photoshop. Lighting on this occasion through the window is Bryce sunlight, located to give low sunset type lighting from the side. The candles are all radial lights set to a very low setting. And lastly its not a model of a mansion, its all done with Bryce primitives, terrains, symetrical lattices and metaballs. I couldn't model a square brick, but can use lego. Trouble is the ballroom on its own is about a 15mb file without figures. So its not really feasible to offer it to anyone as a setup. I have trouble downloading a file that size, leave alone uploading it to someone to host to freestuff. Otherwise I would. Must sort out those front shadows, they are not right.

Well, now that I know you "built" the darn room, you have my admiration even MORE than before. Heck, I'd hate to just dress all those guys...grin.

Mine as well. It's simply a fabulous image. A work of love. Q
