Confused about mesh scales

[alahuli]

I'm new to 7D2D modding, all my experience is with CryEngine and Source.

I've extracted a few meshes to get an idea of the scale and I'm confused.

Most models are accurate in meters, but a player model is 3m tall? Is the player model downscaled in game?

Then some random models are inches high?

Also are single blocks 1x1m?

Do blocks have a mesh I can look at?

The game does scale some meshes, its very inconsistent, so we generally use existing meshes as templates for new meshes. Like if you want to make a pistol, make your new mesh the same size as the one used in game.

Player is 2M I think, Its a UMA model unlike almost everything else in the game.

Blocks are 1M square, they are standard Unity cubes.

Thanks for the super quick answer.

Everything makes a lot more sense now - I thought UMA was removed from the game but looking back that was just the Zombie UMA models.

Looks like Unity blocks are identical to CryEngine designer blocks which makes life a lot easier.

Unless blender screwed up when importing the dae, the Male01 mesh is definitely 3m tall. That would be kinda cool in the game. A behemoth man squashing zombies...might just make that a mod!

also pay attention to:

<property name="SizeScale" value="XX"/>

in entityclasses.xml this can also change the size. (but not works for UMA)

Yeh players are the only uma's left I think.
