Dr. Geep,

I remember you once had a tutorial on making a concrete block (8"x16"x8") using the Magic Box in Poser 6. How can I replicate that in Poser 8, since the PNU scale has changed?

Thanks-Starkdog

Hi Stark,

How ya doin'?

FYI - The Pnu scale has NOT changed. It's still the same in Poser 8.
(1.000 Pnu = 1.000 Obj Unit)

A Pnu is a Pnu is a Pnu regardless of which version of Poser you use. :biggrin:
That's the beauty of it.

The tut? ... Just click the Attached link: .......... above the image.

cheers,

The conversion from PNU to feet,inches was documented as 1pnu to 102" in Poser 7

A common figure for Poser 5 was 96 "

Dr Geep has used 100" which makes calculations easy and isn't far off either of the other two.

Apparently 103.2" is drifting about as another 'standard'

You can find out easily by loading a prop, check that the xtran dial is 0 , then move it till the dial reads 102 " , save the prop. Open in a text editor and read the dial setting in the pp2 file. The internal number in the prop file always PNU.

Conclusion: use Dr Geeps tutorial and dont worry about it.

and 1 PNU = 8.6 feet seems to win in Poser 7.

so 8" = 0.0775194 and 16" = 0.1550388

You can make 1.000 Pnu equal to whatever you want to use.

I like Dr Geep's Scale (DGS*) because ...

... it works. :biggrin:

1.000 Pnu = 100.0 inches or 8' 4" (exactly) or 8.333... feet

Remember ... "With Poser, all things are possible, and poseable!"

cheers,

With the sizes and proportions of the Daz figures trying to work to real world scales is a bit of a problem anyway. I spent some time digging out my old books on human proportions and dimensions for furniture before I found nothing worked properly. You can always scale up or down if needed anyway.
