Art Asset Size!

Hi,
I have somewhat of a problem - while I know that the ratio of max meters to torque Units is 1 to 1. I cannot get a good sizing for my models. They are ALWAYS too big. I've scaled down the vertices not the full model because then it forces the size and still can't do it !!

What is the size of the Realm Wars player model?

Toby.

Im going to assume you meant Realm Wars... if thats the case then the Orc is around 2.4 meters tall (I think).

Keep in mind, though, that its not so much a ratio of 1:1 with "max meters"... its 1:1 with anything. You can work in inches or feet or centimeters or generic max units. Torque doesnt read the actual unit of measurement, just the number. If you had a character in max that was sized to be 2.4 inches tall, it would be the same size as the orc once you brought it into the game because all Torque would ever see is the number 2.4.
