Did you check on Daz3D? I'm sure they have /something/ fitting. You'll
have to pay for the work though that was put into modelling the stuff -
while DAZ Studio is free, most of the content is not.

That is why I say, a hell of a job.

the 1850's are so... 19th century! Not sexy at all. :-)

It might be easier to use billboards.
They have gone out of fashion.

I have thought about that but you still need originals to make 
billboards of. In the end it would be much more efficient memory-wise of 
course when a large number of figures are needed.

UPDATE

I enabled textures, and get this result. Have to make some changes to
the textures, but otherwise feel good with them.

I went to DAZ 3D, and also to MakeHuman, and also to Poser 3D, as well
as even to SketchUp. Nothing that can be used. I am condemned by the gods.

UPDATE
I have contracted now a 3D artist in Algeria where I get good prices,
and he will have now the headache to create those things for me (I gave
him contemporary photos and illustrations). The price is okay, and I
will get a sample before. I will be able to purchase these 3D people of
the 1850s in small batches.

If you really like that idea, I as a Third-World guy could actually send
you First-World guy a First Aid Kit, ensuring your survival in a harsh,
bitter, bun-and-cheese-less world.   ;-)

In this case, Paypal. But I would have to declare it on the outside.

Wooowwww!!! That youn still remember that underwater base...

Yes, it was modular, I could re-use the modules over and over. The deep
ocean floor was also featuring some light posts to border the area,
illuminating the green water.

How can I find out the angle of the surface on that location where TRACE
hits?
