... Or you could just ...

GO Pnu !

I find the "actual scale" Poser items import with to be highly unreliable, as most people just eyeball things anyway.

I also want Poser humans with realistic real world proportions.

So...
Whenever I model something, I use blueprints to get the shape right.
Whenever I resculpt a figure, I use growth charts and reference photos to get the proportions right.
And whenever I use a model someone else made, I first look up it's real world size and then rescale it in Poser accordingly.

To do this with the least amount of work, I switched Poser to Poser native units.
Then I made a Pnu cube that's 1 x 1 x 1 Pnu (100") in size.
Just by scaling and moving this prop I can now directly read distances from the Poser scale/trans dials without any conversion.

If I scale the prop along the y-axis to 175%, it is then 175" or ~14.58'  tall.
If I move it by 100% along x-trans, it moves 100" or 8' 4" in Poser space-
If I scale it down to 10% overall, it's then 10" x 10" x 10"  in size.

It really couldn't be easier.

So, old scale, new scale...

All what matters is that all props and figures used in a render have the SAME scale.

And the only way to make sure of that is to measure and re-scale everything you use, before you use it.

And the easiest way to do this is to...

GO Pnu  !
... and DGS. 😄

(don't cha just love "cut 'n paste") :lol:* Thanks Joe. :biggrin:
