Hi, is there a way in Poser 2012 to merge 2 or more poser scenes together? I know that in Daz Studio that this is possible with the "Merge" tool but in Poser, I cant find any such tool.  Or am I not digging far enough?

cheers,

Wow, that was easy. Stupid me. Never found that. Thanks.

Just pay attention to the lights.

The lights of the imported scene are added to the lights you have.
You wil end up with all lights of both scenes.
Delete the doubles and you are good to go.

On the other hand, this is useful behaviour if you want to add a light to an existing light set-up, since adding them from the library replaces all lights in your scene. Just create your new light as the only thing in an otherwise empty scene, then import as required. I have a few useful lights set up this way.

Is there a list that sets out what happens when you import a scene? Objects and lights are merged with the existing scene of course. As far as I can tell, cameras and render settings are preserved from the original scene. Anything else?  

You can also save your first scene to the Scene Library, in Poser 9 / 2012, then load from there into a new scene.

Maybe more the way to go if you had a part of a scene that you planned to re-use more regularly... e.g. an environment with other figures or props, and lights perhaps, arranged in it... and it was useful to have that part-scene in the Library...

...don't think it'd be worth saving anything into that Scene Library unless you planned to use it more than once?

At one time that was behavior of preset, but it has changed to allowing appending

I haven't installed my Black Friday Poser 9 yet, so I guess I will have plenty to learn; and appending lights is just one of many useful techniques to get used to. I can imagine the scene library would be useful for those folks who produce serial stories, as a way of starting with the major characters and maybe the surroundings in place. When I want to do this, I just load the previous scene file and delete all the stuff I no longer need.
