They often do cast shadows on each other, so I don't know if that would work. Also, I'd probably need to swap people beween the files several times, because no one stays in the background all the time.

That reminds me - does anyone know if I can swap figures between files, including all the textures and morphs? This is important because I don't remember exactly what textures and morphs I applied to each character, and I want to avoid comment like "hey, didn't she used to have bigger boobs?"...
