Quote - You'll find this problem when downloading architectual models, as well - V4 can't sit comfortably in that hyper-realistically-scaled piece of furniture obtained directly from the manufacturer that manufactures that real-life piece of furniture because V4 is not a real-life person. :D

 

Ain't that the truth. I recently modelled a chair from very accurate, dimensioned reference images, but when skinny 6-footer V4 sits on it she looks like a folded giraffe - her elbows don't come anywhere near the chair's armrests, her knees are way up in the air because her legs are so long. SP3 looks a whole lot better sitting in it.

I subscribed to 3DWorld for a while a few years ago but didn't renew my subscription because 99% of the free models ("worth over $650" according to the blurb on the cover) were utterly useless to me. Most (the nicer ones) were Max/Maya formats only, and the few that were also available as untextured obj/3ds/dxf were just useless objects like a high-poly tonsil or a highly detailed snail shell. I don't think I've ever used a single one of the free models in a render. Maybe things have improved since then.
