Rescale a man model?

Recommended Posts

I am researching what it takes to make "small" people models. E.g. NVA soldiers, children, etc. that aren't 6' tall like the default soldier model.

I can rescale the 3D model in O2 no problem. Do the animations and proxies scale when the LOD's are rescaled? ... or do those items need to be rearranged after the model LODs are rescaled?

The positions of the pivot points of the skeleton are fixed. Pufu is correct.

Animations can override the scaling of a model.

Although Fab's RtmToolBox was originally created to accomodate OFP/CWA,it can rescale animations.

It can also be used in Arma 2.The rescale portion was experimental at the time of release.But it has already been put to use by more than one person in OFP projects.

I haven't used it much in that capacity.But it may be worth a look.

The downside is that it will involve lots of manual work.I don't know how many anims a character in A2

would use.But I assume it numbers in the hundreds.

A set of animations would have to be edited for each unique character.

That's a thread by Thromp regarding his use of OFPanim for Arma 2.

Not that it specifically relates to scaling.But I thought it might be useful.
