BUILDING SCALE IDEA

Post by Rulete »

I have an idea so we can all build things and make player models the same size how about we put a size messurement so we all build stuff like houses, cars, player models tables, and beds about the same size. I was thinking this size 1 square gridsize 4 = a meter what do you think?

this will also help making textures the correct scale

lets say 2 persons are making 2 maps to make 1 big map and when they put them together the size of the things dont match example a house too small this will help for having an idea how big to make a house and things

the thing is that everybody has his own player model of different size so it will be cool if everyone has his character of the same height maybe 3 squares of gridsize 3 tall character?

In the end, if we had the same size monitor, it would be the same. And, the height changes from monitor to monitor.
