I see what you mean now, my blunder...

In answer to (what I think is) your real question, I model my scenes in a
way you can render them from any standpont and they would still make sense.
I don't use - to stay on your example - backdrop pictures and other
subterfuges made possible by povray, but not possible in real life.
Actually, I'd love to, but I am way to incompetent in the language to be
able to.Anyway, I'm not that uptight about it, though. Should you take a
cutaway at some of my models, you would fing flaws. My rule of thumb is: if
it will *never*  be visible, don't model it; if there is the slightest
chance that someday it will be rendered in a way that it will be visible, go
ahead and do it.
