Definitely. I've had mixed results with scaling but I think I posted a height scale some time ago. Let me know if you need it again. SamTherapy posted at 5:13PM Sat, 14 November 2020 - #4404466

Here's a copy of part of the ReadMe from my SXT 2000 model (on sale in RMP and you should all buy it because it's bloody good :D ) and what I have to say about scale:

Scaling:

Always a contentious matter in Poser; so I hope you find the following information helpful...

I built the models in Wings3d, using one square per inch. Imported to poser and scaled to 1.115%. This may seem like a strange size but it's the same scale as my Dalek freebies, and that scale was derived from Daleks made by Billy-home and Mechmaster, so it does have some precedent.


Taking the above, you could scale your figures - or scenery and props, as necessary - to the appropriate size using a known model that's built to a particular scale. For example, I use the scale of my amp and Dalek models as my base, and adjust other things in a scene so they look right. Mask-Da's guitars, ISTR, are a little smaller, so they get scaled up. If I was making a building with doorways, I'd use the general size of a UK door, which is 2 metres, or as near as dammit 6' 6".

By that reckoning, La Femme is way too big, Then again, V4 is ludicrously tall, too.
