I hope I can explain my Own question ?

If I make a model for Call of Duty , what are then the measurements in a moddelingprogram like Milkshape or Lightray3d ?

I had make a Model for Call of Duty ,the Tellermine from the Tutorial from this site.

Well when I have done everything and the model showed up in game it was very very small so I had to recale it and that was beter, but I want to make it at the right scale in Milkshape or Lightray3d ?

( I could rescale it in radiant but I want to make it in Milkshape or Lightray3d at the right measurements )

Hope you understand my question , I hope I could explain my question a bit.

Thx

hmmm....
i would say that you will need to experiment with that

if you had to (for example) double the size of the tellermine in the map editor, then use that as a reference on how far out of scale you were

another way would be to import one of the models into the editor (i believe we are supplied an actor model) and use that as a scale reference

stryder has the best solution

When I'm building models for maps I always scale them to a character model. I good tip is if your going to make custom characters, load in a model from the ga,e your going to make the character for and take a render of the front and side. then load the images in and apply them to a plane so you can use them to help model...but before you begin scale the images on the plane so they match exactly the model then delete the model and begin working.

You'll find your end product will be the correct scale, and you can use those image planes again and again.

Hope thats a good tip for you.

OK that's a great tip and I will use that one a actor and then the scale of a actor.

Well here i am again ,
Why can i not use the grid in lightray3d just like in codradiant ( I need that grid ) ?

Example ( Lightray3D ) ; if i make a cube and trying to fit it on the grid and my grid is then it does not fit on the grid ?

Example ( Codradiant ) ; If i make a brush and fit it on the grid it fit's perfectly on the grid .

Example ( Milkshape3D ) ; If i make a box and fit it on the grid it fit's perfectly on the grid .

Why not chancing to Milkshape3D I have pay'd for Lightray3D !

hmm

Ok I wait for Janova :)

If this ( Above ) is a dumb question pleasy say it then , then I must find another solution for mmy own problem.

LOL

Janova's a busy guy (arn't we all) it might be worth posting it on doom3world.org or even a milkshape forum
