I have a problem you can probably help me with...
I had an idea for an animation when hearing a song (Pink Floyd - Dogs of War), and it involved having an army and battlefield.
So I got to work in Poser to make me some knights.
Here comes the problem: the population is too random, there's no order in the ranks. Besides that, instead of only using 1 knight 3000 times, I made 5 different ones. All knights have 34 materials, so I cut them in 3 pieces. For every knight population, I have to create 3 pops. For the whole army I would need 15 populations... my system doesn't handle that all to well, so I brought it down to 3 knight, or 9 populations.
How can I randomly place 9 different populations in a nice orderly grid without overlapping?
