Hi,
When importing a model into FPSC, it is so small I can barley see it on the floor.

When in Wings3d it looks fine.



I was going to take a screenshot of the model in-game but it doesn't come out in the picture.

How do I fix this?

You could maybe use a model to scale your weapon to such as the ones at the link below:

Not sure if they will import\merge into your scene in Wings 3D but you could give them a try.

Good luck.

Scale is not what you see on your screen but it is a measure of output. It probably looks fine in your modeling software but only because you are zoomed in. When you export it, it becomes whatever scale you have entered (which can be different than what you see) in the modeling programs settings. Do what Ross tra damus suggests and bring in a model along with your gun into wings3D and compare the two.

I did what you said, but this time it happened to my cargo containers.

My container had some babies.

Ehh you can you use scale command for the models.Find the orientation part in your models FPI and then add scale then put number for the scale such as 200 or above (100 is normal).I hope you understand my English XD.Anyway nice model PixelF.


;orientation

model = Box.x
scale = 200
offx = 0
offy = 0
offz = 0
rotx = 0
roty = 0
rotz = 0
defaultstatic = 1
materialindex = 3
collisionmode = 2

MY ENGLISH IS NOT GOOD LIKE YOURS.

Great to see that you have some good results using the scale in the FPE but I think that you should also take 'notes' of the ways you can scale models in your modelling program and in the export options for model types.
Its good to have a 'method' in place so that you do not have to waste too much time visualy testing the scale out in FPSC.

Cool looking models.

Good luck.

I just want to point out, after seeing that shipping crate, I know its either from Colonial Marines or AVP. If you take models or anything from a game, you can't share them. It mostly just limits you to your own personal work.
