Hi everyone,

Trying to get my own models into Esenthel I tried replacing some of the existing ones in the tutorials. In the blood example, I replaced the 0.mesh human model for one I created. However, it shows up gigantic in the render window. I created my model 170 cm tall in blender but in comparison with the human it's like 10x bigger, so I was wondering what the world scale in Esenthel is. I thought it was a 1:1 scale, and that things you created with real-life proportions in your 3d app would keep the scale once rendered in Esenthel. Any guides on this regard?

cheers,

Alvaro

Hi

In Esenthel Engine one unit is equal to one meter

After importing models into Mesh Editor you can rescale them with "Ctrl+C" shortcut (1 meter height)

Thanks Grzegor. So Ctrl+C optimizes the scale of meshes for the engine?
I'l try it out immediately.

EDITED: ahhhhh! that's the ticket! Works great! Thanks a lot. Now I'll start looking about materials.

its hard to call it optimization, it just rescales the mesh for 1 meter height the option is available through the menu

You're right. So it scales the model and makes it 1 meter tall? Or you mean it scales it on a 1:1 metrical proportion taking 1 meter as reference? So if my original model is 170 cm, when doing CTRL+C it will make it a 1.70m Esenthel mesh, or simply a 1meter tall mesh?

Sorry for so many questions, but once you start you can't stop! If it's a 1m tall model how do I make it 1.70? Do you ismply type in the XYZ scale fields after doing the CTRL+C thing?

cheers.

heh
it scales the model so it is 1 meter tall
and the scaling maintains the proportions, youll see how it works when you use it

heheheh, yup, I'm on it, I'm on it!

Too much caffeine!
