I've imported an FBX object for my character to hold, but it's too large.

The smallest scale on the import is at 0.8.

Is there any way to make it smaller than that?

Thanks,

Ah, if I only had something that could edit!

Any free FBX edit tools out there?

I installed a program called "Deep Exploration" - it allows for import, modification and saving FBX files (along with other 3d formats).

Worked well for my model. Might be worth a try if anyone else is looking for an easy converter / editor.

i have managed to turn a few muvizu users to "the dark side" and they are starting to use blender. I would not call it an editor though its more of a studio which is why it scares people but I think Mr hamster has managed to tame it as well. He sent me a copy of a toon car he was working on that looked really nice.

*rubs hands together*

excellent... Drink

EVIL!!!

Yeah, I'm sure 'll migrate to more complex tools over time.
Blender and Maya are in my future...

For now, I got a workable solution, though.

Thanks!
