I don't normally plug things, but I just wanted to comment on how great I think caleb68's DarkAges Construction Kit is (available in the Marketplace -- and no, I don't receive any kickback for saying this). Even rendered very large, it comes out quite nicely. I used it on the image above, and within a short span of time, I was able to give the suggestion of a village background usable not just for the Dark Ages, but the Middle Ages or Renaissance (depending on where your setting is). The dresses are Steve Shanks and Renapd's Juliet Dress and textures from the Poser 3 CD -- also lovely work. (I know the wagon wheel is cut off on the bottom -- the ground was placed too high.) Mike
