Scaling Human Model to Exact Size

antwaneolee — Fri, 22 Jan 2021 02:13:21 GMT

Hello:

I have created a model of an enclosure. I had a model of a woman created which is going to be placed inside of the enclosure. The model of the woman is very small.

How do I scale the woman to the exact size/height that is required? I have watched videos on YouTube and am having some issues. I tried using the 'Transform' tool but I could not enter feet and inches. It had a decimal multiplier.

Please give me your feedback.

Thanks.

Antwane

Hello @antwaneolee ,

Easiest method is to create a box at the height you'd like, then scale the object up to fit into it. Then reset the Xform on your person model. If the model is rigged, this won't work though and would break your skin.

When you import certain model types, you can set the scale/units on them typically. This would also get around this and possibly not break your rig.

Best Regards,
