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?

trace(OBJECT_IDENTIFIER, A, B, [VECTOR_IDENTIFIER]). trace helps you finding the
exact location of a ray intersecting with an object's surface. It traces a ray
beginning at the point A in the direction specified by the vector B. If the ray
hits the specified object, this function returns the coordinate where the ray
intersected the object. If not, it returns <0,0,0>. If a fourth parameter in the
form of a vector identifier is provided, the normal of the object at the
intersection point (not including any normal perturbations due to textures) is
stored into that vector. If no intersection was found, the normal vector is
reset to <0,0,0>.
Add vector identifier to your trace () and you'll get the normal vector back.
Then you can calculate the angle between that and any axis, or the point that
you're tracing from.

Thanks a lot! I copied all information about TRACE for my reference.
Great spirit here in this group!

UPDATE
- Continuing to work on the textures or correcting them
- Hunting down mercilessly placement errors I become aware of
This image: the perch that was used for horses or cattle. Still missing:
the food and water troughs, animals, details.
