how tall is the barbarian dude? Game units question

[Saoru71]

Hi everyone,

As you know I model and texture my stuff in blender which is a metric 1:1 application. When I load my models into the editor they seem to be properly scaled, however If I bring in the barbarian mdl into my map things start to look a bit small and under-sized. Scaling my building up to a 1.2 or 1.5 factor seems to make things proportional again between the barbarian model and the building. Is this process of making things proportional a trial and error exercise? or is it an exact science? If I were to create my main structures as bsp brushes in the editor,can I trust that 1 LE unit = 1 meter so that when I insert model props created in a DCC tool their scales will match? (p.s. poor barbarian dude hurting with his normal-mapped beard! lol)

He's 1.8 meters tall.

Lol! concise answer! I'm 1.76, barbarian kicks my butt!

So importing stuff and using him as a scale/proportion reference is an OK method to create stuff?

 

ps. Thanks for the quick answer.

You can rescale models to a certain size in the model editor.

Being able to scale your models in the editor in feet/inches or metric is great.
