Greetings to all... I have a big problem which I'll try to explain with my less-than-perfect English, please forgive me in advance...

Target: I want to create a scene with a lot of characters in it, over a dozen.

Strategy: obviously, I need to create it in several layers, otherwise, my computer would explode (I only have one GB of RAM).

Procedure:

  1. I compose several scenes (each with one character) in Poser. To create the next scene, I delete the character and I load and pose the next one.
  2. I import the first scene in Vue 6, where I decide the atmosphere, I add plants, terrains, small details and so on.
  3. Then I delete only the character and I save the scene as "empty.vue" (keeping plants terrains, etc.)
  4. I create the Vue scenes, one for each character loading each time the "empty" scene and importing the corresponding Poser scene WITHOUT touching the camera or everything else.
  5. Then I render each Vue scene.

My idea was to take each rendered picture and to merge them in Photoshop, assembling the final image... BUT the problem is that the POV for each layer IS NOT THE SAME! It seems that the Vue camera has moved "up and down" at random some inches, changing the perspective, so I cannot stack the renders and merge them.

But I have NOT moved the camera and if I check its X/Y/Z coordinates, they are EXACTLY the same. So WHY the Point of View changes slightly in each image??? I am wasting two weeks of work!

Thanks in advance for your help,

Giorgio
