3ds max size character

[Kasigawa]

Hello, i'm currently working on walls, floors, ceilings, and the environment for my level. I had just got done making a hallway when I noticed it was a little too large. Can somebody address me to a character model for 3ds max so i can compare the size to the character. Thank you.

Well, you cant export or take out characters from UDK as nothing (That I know of) can read the special files it uses once stuff is imported. You could try the scale tools in UDK to get a rough accurate of how big the character should be then edit the scale in 3DS

did you resize the gid ?
by looking it looks like it should be half size...

take a look on this post -> Unit sizes (http://forums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=626767&highlight=player+height)

yes, i resized the grid. but the grid has nothing to do with unit scales. its just an optical help and only matters if u snap objects to the grid.

anyway, in the unit setup, what is ur system unit scale? mine is still 1cm = 1 unit. is that correct?

System unit scale should be 1 unit = 2 cm :)

i've got the exact size in centimeter is 2,54 !
make a cube 256x512x16 and u'll see, it fit perfectly in the UDK grid :)
