just as one thing to comment on, Joe... you might find it easier to make comparisons if you used the front camera, which is orthographic, rather than the main or posing cameras (or dolly, or face, and so on). Because this removes perspective, it helps you to get a better sense of where things actually are in proportion to one another. IN the case of your primitive-mounted picture, you have to make some allowances for perspective distortion and distance if you try and match up your figure and the picture in the main camera - if you do it in the front camera, then the z-plane is disregarded, and you have a better idea of your scale.

Thanks for the correction, Doc... it's been so long since I looked at the actual scale lessons you gave, I've forgotten what scale you recommended!! I do remember that in the dim and distant days of P4, it was a damned useful scale to have, though.
