Posts: 5 		Where to find appropriate models size for import

I see the options for holding and animating with Cell and Mobile phones in the action library, but i can't seem to find a model that fits properly into muvizu character hands

I have downloaded several cell phones and imported into Muvizu as fbx files and none where small enough to fit into the hands of a muvizu character

So, please, please, please - can anyone tell me where i could find Models like Cell Phones, Home Phones, Ipads, Laptops and others such electronics i can import into Muvizu and it will of appropriate size.

Thanks a million in advance

I dont know if muvizu changed the default udk units to something else i think they have, but since I use characters and simply import and test and then scale afterwards I dont worry too much. However there is a way to try to set blender up for scale better. I dont really find it anything to worry about because sets are not build "to scale" they are built for the camera and scale has very little to do with it beyond basic logic.



foreground, midground, background are set building rules scale stuff down in the rear to fake distance and larger in the foreground etc..
