Ok, now that I've had some sleep and food and some Tylenol, I'm back trying to figure this out, LOL Here is what I've been doing, but without success. I add the image to a square in the material room and then go to the pose room. I add my first figure (I need 3 which will be various sizes and in various positions from close up to far away. IE: warrior fighting a large dragon, with another figure not far off in the distance). Now this is where I have trouble.... I want to push the warrior back so he's not so big, so I do that with the Z axis dial. Next I do the same with the background so that it's behind my warrior. Now the background doesn't fill up the pose window. Next I bring in My dragon, which looks larger than the background now, even though I pushed it back a bit using Z axis. When I bring in my third figure and push it back to the point in the distance where it looks perspectively smaller to the dragon and warrior, I have to also push the background square back behind that 3rd figure. Now here is the problem. Medium sized warrior Large size dragon (about 2.5 times the size of the warrior) Small to medium sized figure in the background Teensy weensy background square way off in the distance. The idea of using the square was so I could add light to the background AND the figures, but the background ends up so much smaller than the figures. What I wanted to do was to be able to use the X, Y and Z axis on the figures and position them in the pose window so that they were in specific locations "in" the background, but how do you do that with a background square that ends up being just a small square with a picture on it, way off in the distance behind the figures?
