You seem to think I wasn't aware I was being bossy.

I am actually trying to boss people around here.  :)

Read the thread again. There was general frivolity, which is cool, but there was also confusion because the question kept getting clarified incorrectly. The clear and unmistakable instruction was a request to specify where the top of the head comes. That lead to discussion that the head size will influence any sense of scale or proportion. The obvious thinking was we don't know what this guy really wants. Let's ask him to clarify.

JoelGlaine said "you'd have to place NearMe mext to him and scale her until her head is about the same size. " He said that because the head size ratio is relevent if you're trying to understand the body part size ratios involved. The total height will give you a wrong ratio.

Then Gareee said "What is your reason for asking? That might get more lucrative responses.

Based just be looking at proportions, Nearme's head is 4 times as large and M4s in comparison. assuming you scale her to match his head size, she'll be half as tall as M4 is, or less."

See that part? Gareee wants to know what the real goal is, because the question doesn't sound like the answer will lead to any useful information.

Then LukeA said (this is his 3rd opportunity to clear things up, by the way) " I don't need to know scale but where the top of NM head is in relation to M4."

That statement is in fact incorrect. He does NOT need to know the top of the head relationship. He needs to know the scale relationship between the limbs. That's what the others were getting at.

I hope you understand that I wouldn't have said anything about "process" here but for the fact that LukeA went out of his way to slam the responders with repeated demands for the overall height of the figure, when it turns out the actual requirement was to know the height of the knee.

Sometimes when it seems I'm chewing somebody out, I actually am, just so you know.

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)
