Just wondering if anyone here uses or knows of a decent human stand-in model usable within MoI?

Similar to say Sketchup's Human reference always seen in the SU images posted here.


I always find myself fudging my model dimensions downstream when I drop in a character or two in my rendering app.


It'd be nice if I had a similar stand-in when sizing my models or corridors and catwalks etc.


Typically I set my units to meters, and try to make thing fit around a 2-meter height but it'd be easier if I could plop in a reference and work around it.


Just wondering what you spaceship and architecture modelers do to figga out your spaces and dimensions...

Hi Will,

I use this guy sometimes, I think he's average height.
The arms and legs are movable for ergonomic situations.

Cheers

Wow!, thanks Danny!

I put together a boxy shape that matched proper dimensions but nothing as articulated as this!

I really appreciate it - thanks so much!

Hi ...
I tried to download this attachment and got a php file instead of a .zip file.
Not at all sure what is happening here. Maybe it's Firefox?
cheers,

I just did a right-click, save as... (IExplorer)

This model makes me wish MoI had minimal parenting and pivot point attributes - I could then do foward kinematic positioning of the arms and legs a bit easier! (I had to straighten the right arm a bit...)

But he's fine just the way he is. I really appreciate the model!

Got it ...
Thanks!

Hmm, that's kind of odd - could you please let me know what version of Firefox you are currently using (in Firefox it's under Help / About Mozilla Firefox) ?

That may help to to figure out if something is not working right on the web server - it is supposed to prompt you for a download of the .zip file when you just click on the link, although like mentioned previously you can force a download by doing a right-click and "Save As" even if the auto-download is not working properly.

Hi Michael ...

It's Firefox 3.0.12 ...

In a couple of other cases this wouldn't download files and I had to go to Internet Explorer or Google Chrome as alternates.

Maybe some new security gimmick.

MoI is getting more exciting every day.

cheers,

Hi Danny,

Thanks for the great model, Well done!!
I had no problems at all downloading it & I'm using Firefox 3.5.1.
