Here is a little bar I created. I added three User created objects I downloaded from the Objects forum (the pool table, rack and barstools) as well as the lamp, booth, hi-top and glass rack I created (posted in objects). I am a newbie so I am ASSUMING you would need to download those as well?
One surprising thing is how just the glass rack REALLY slows things down. I add and remove it as needed to make FF run smoother. Another trick I learned was that I would create set copies and I would remove the half of the set outside the 180 line and things really moved quicker. I have a fast system with tons of RAM and it still slows when I add lots of props. I know, I know, all those props shouldn't be important and should be left out. But I am using this also to SELL the idea so the more it looks like a movie the better. My two cents and hints.
