Is anyone know what units should be used in 3DS MAX 6 when modeling, so in can be compatible with units used in DB, and MatEDIT? Or what units are used ti DB and MatEDIT?

P3 CPU 500 Mhz, 128 MB RAM, 16 MB VRAM, WinXP.
Almost the best configuration for game development.

Just use standard units. Don't use international or anything.

"Units" are just a system used in 3ds max to represent distances in a method that is recognizable to you. The exported model data will be the same regardless of what units you choose in max.

a good way to get scale right (if it helps)
is to make a 1x1x1 cube in DB and export it
then import it into your modeling software

i forgot who originally posted this tip though
