Since I am new and learning my way around poser and vue I am wondering if some things I am doing are bad for me.

I have noticed that sometimes, when I put some objects that don't belong together in poser they look good but really don't fit visual from some angles no matter how much tweaking you do.(like a shield on somebodies back that looks cool from the from the front angle but from behind its digging into their skin and if you move it or scale it, it doesn't look as good from the front) The when you import it into a scene, their pose just does not match up with the scenerly and if you go back into poser and try to make it fit the land sometimes changes too much.

So what I end up doing sometimes is use the scenery to hide some flaws like a rock or a bush infront of a foot, or branch that extends over a something that just doesn't look right.

What I am wondering about doing this, am I cheating the scene and myself in the long run by doing this? Or since we are working in a 3d medium but making 2D results it is just something that is what you do because it is the final look of the image that matters in the end, no matter how you get to it.

Just wondering if it is something everybody does, or just the shortcuts you take when you are new but should be curbed as you go on. :)
