There's another way to measure scale in poser. This is information I got from Ronstuff (and he knows what he's talking about). A poser unit = 8 feet or 96 inches. This means if you Xtrans a figure by a value of 1.00, it will move 8'/96" to the side. Now the interesting thing is this. The standard poser Box prop (at it's default size) is exactly 1/10th of a poser unit. If you scale it up to 1000%, you'll have a box that is 1 poser unit tall/wide/deep, (8 feet). By using the Front camera, you can measure the box against any character by putting it to one side and scaling it down to the char's height. Once the box is the same height as the char, divide the box's percentage to get the height in feet/inches. Here are Ron's calculations. 1) 1 inch = 0.0104167 Poser units 2) 1 foot = 0.125 Poser Units So 800% would be 800 divided by 0.0104167 = 76.8 inches or 6.4 feet. mac
