Quote - Yabut he could still see where her knee is compared to Mike's leg on the comparison pic, right? And then sorta kinda use Mike as the measuring rod.
But he didn't ask for a picture. I agree that if he'd asked for a side-by-side render, he'd be able to compare leg height.
He said this:
"How tall is Near Me in relation to say M4? "
"You other dummies...do I have to spell it out for you? :)
OK, if you load M4 and Near Me in Poser where does the top of Near Me's head come in relation to M4?"
See that? WHERE DOES THE TOP OF NEAR ME'S HEAD COME.
My point is, because these figures do not have the same proportions, that information is useless in producing a chair. Near Me's head is a much larger proportion of her overall height. So asking where the top of her hand lands on M4 is not going to tell you how high the chair should be when she sits.
Some cartoon figures have heads that are fully 1/2 their entire height. In such cases, the futility of the question would be obvious. But here it is more subtle.
If you were to judge how big to make a chair based solely on informatiion about her total height, you would produce a chair that is too large.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
