I have been using the fpsc entity creator to make new objects for fpsc. The problem i keep having is trying to scale an object model. I have used other enititys as scale references by looking in the fpe file to see what the models scale is and try and guess a scale of my models. This still doesn't work good because just a few numbers difference is a huge difference in fpsc. An example is if the reference object is 50 on the scale and I want something just a bit smaller i would type in 45. Just 5 numbers down is a huge difference in scale. So what I am asking is if someone would post say a pic of different models in different sizes with the scale number under each. I would like it if the models range in scale from 0-100. I could use this pic as a guide for scaling models in fpsc.

umm...
the number means how much to scale the model from its original size.

for example, 100 means 100 percent (keep the model it's original size)
50 would be half-size.

SO, there is no universal scale to apply to, you just have to estimate.
Or make all your models the same scale
Maybe make the entity several times at different intervals until you get it close.

There is a universal scale for FPSC.

1 Segment = 100 by 100 pixels

1 pixel= 1 unit

1 unit= 1 inch(in 3dmax)

1 segment= 100 pixels= 100 units= 100 inches= 8'4"

This is the law handed down from the TGC god to Lee and Mike, our greatest prophets..... and we shall all obey.......

Heh, hope this helps.
