I have been working on something new and I already have 5-saved Pz3's, and 8- rendered layers. The Pz3's are more of a save my butt kind of thing. I have figured out that some things look better with diffrent light. I do my backgrounds with their own light sets. I then slowly progress to the front with different light settings. How many layers do you use on an average? Tashar 59

Being fairly new, I use however many I need. It is mostly due to render times and not lighting needs. I find rendering figures in Poser and the background in Bryce much faster than trying to render everything in Bryce. I've noticed that the imported images in bryce aren't too clear so I still like to use the Bryce original render. But I think the most I've had so far was 5-6 different renders being only 1 in Poser. But then when I take it into Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro I usually end up with many many more layers.

I usually use 1, but then I like portrait work best. My record was 9, but then I didn't like the final pictures and trashed it.

I usually use one, I have never used more than three.

One perhaps two. Now photoshop layers thats a whole nother story 3-10.

I sometimes have 2~5 PZ3s because I try to pack too many charaters into a single render. My last render had 6 PZ3s to render and about 12 Photoshop layers by the time I got what I wanted. In PSD and TIF format my image was Larger than the largest Poser PZ3 (30+meg)! But then it had to be reduced to <200K for the contest I entered it in...

Usually I use 1 or 2 Poser renders (most was 4 though) and like tonymouse said, Photoshop Layers are definitly a different story. PS layers...minimum of 5, the most I've ever used was 30something...but I do quite a bit of post on some of my images...(not that it's the greatest, but I'm learnin still:)
