My friend are working on a game he is creating our 3D models in blender but we have come across a problem that I can't seem to solve...all of the .x files that blender exports are TINY!! we exported a human it took forever to load and was like 4 pixels on the screen!? any ideas?

thanks in advance,

That just had to do with your scale I think.

Are they tiny when you import the .x files into your game engine? Or just back into Blender?

The units in blender and DBP corresponds.
If your model is the size of the default box (2 units) it will be tiny when loaded in to DBPro.

Note that scaling a model in Object mode is not that good sometimes.
Press "N" to check the scale of the model. To reset a model to 1/1 scale use Alt+"S"

Ok I'll try that...but my friend made the man HUGE before he exported it so i think its more of an exportation error...also if I remember right it wouldn't open correctly in DirectX when we tried to open it

@Pbcrazy - I am importing them into DBPro

Hm, the exporter exports meshes from Blender using only Blender's units. There's a one to one to one correspondence between the units of Blender, the exported file, and DBPro. Also, I've noticed that meshes with very large amounts of vertices don't usually work well with the .x format. It would seem that the importers for the DirectX Viewer and DBPro kinda freak out on large .x files. Not the fault of the exporter as exporting static meshes is hard to get wrong. How many vertices does the character have? Or have you already solved your problems?
