The blue box is 1metre cube, the pink box is a 2 metre cube, and the man and cop car are just straight objects created in Muvizu, I hope this helps.

Based on this mornings calculations 1 metre in Muvizu Play + is 52.5mm in SketchUp & 3Ds Max!

The incredibly massive block behind is a metre squared block created in Max.]]> Tue, 22 Oct 2013 08:55:08 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3114-standard-views.aspx Message from MrDrWho13 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 06:45:38 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3114-standard-views.aspx Message from primaveranz

For some reason Muvizu + scale is incredibly small, perhaps some guidance from Muvizu HQ? Please? Pretty please....with Tequila?]]> Tue, 22 Oct 2013 01:07:22 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3114-standard-views.aspx Message from primaveranz ]]> Tue, 22 Oct 2013 01:02:35 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3114-standard-views.aspx Message from MrDrWho13 Dylly wrote:
Unfortunately Muvizu does not use the same scale at all...and as of yet I have still not managed to work out the Muvizu scale ratio other than...its tiny...I mean really really tiny.

To give you an idea of scale, below is an image of the set I am working on at the minute. I'm just at the stage where I'm sorting out the topology before I start adding more geometry. I've circled a small red rectangle at the front of the image which is 2cm wide by 14cm tall in SketchUp. If I was to import the small red rectangle into Muvizu it would be slightly taller than the Rosie character. Math, I am afraid, was never my strong point. Even less so now that I'm approaching senility. So I would very much welcome someone with the time and patience to work out the exact scale ratio between sketchUp and Muvizu.


Wow, Dylly, there are quite a few tools there!

Yeah, Muvizu should have a reasonable scale, or at least tell us what the current one is!]]> Mon, 21 Oct 2013 21:44:16 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3114-standard-views.aspx Message from Dylly

Here are a couple of tips on scene construction...

Make the clock and the wall as one model in SketchUp....

Hope this helps.



Thanks for the advice, I had noticed that some of the walls that come with Muvizu leave a nasty gap when you try to align them so I think I'll do as you suggest and build the set in SketchUp. Does Muvizu use the same scale though?]]> Mon, 21 Oct 2013 20:10:50 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3114-standard-views.aspx Message from Dylly ]]> Mon, 21 Oct 2013 11:28:02 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3114-standard-views.aspx Message from ukBerty Dylly wrote:

Make the clock and the wall as one model in SketchUp. That way you can position the clock exactly where you require it. All of my sets begin life as a sketch on graph paper, then constructed in SketchUp and then broken down into sections where the collision mesh can be easily calculated and which can be easily textured and aligned once imported into Muvizu.
Collision is your friend! Create a collision mesh that allows the surfaces to align correctly.
Dreeko had a good tip of importing a floor plan image onto a ground plane to help with alignment.

Hope this helps.]]> Mon, 21 Oct 2013 11:10:49 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3114-standard-views.aspx Message from MrDrWho13 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 07:25:14 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3114-standard-views.aspx Message from primaveranz Mon, 21 Oct 2013 07:10:00 GMT
