Hmm...

Wait for/seek inspiration - this generally covers the basic idea and general
composition.

Model scene element by element. Generally I'll get the background out of the way
before modelling individual objects. In general, I don't use many objects in my
scenes - often just a background and one central object.

Probably the best reason to learn some handcoding, irrespective of whether you
use a modeller or not, is to enable easy switching on/off of individual scene
components.

In general for individual elements, I'll have a good idea of what I want, but as
I write the code, I'll adjust according to problems/inspiration thrown up by the
proto-types.

Most scene elements start out fairly messy, but I'll tidy up as I go along.
