Sorry if that sounded confusing; I meant to say, "In DAZ," when generating your
images for the billboards. Rather than *just* rotating the DAZ figure on the
y-axis in 45-deg. steps, rotate the (perspective) camera itself upwards--say in
10-deg. intervals up to maybe 60-deg--to get some down-angle views...

That is, in POV-Ray, for your scene.
