[solved] Scale Problem on Repacking Edited Models

[majidemo]

Hello everyone,

This is more of a question on the common techniques in dealing with repacking edited models. First off, we all know that each 3D modelling software might use different default scale.

For example:

• I export the models to FBX through Noesis. (game character with bones and weights)
• I import it into 3DSmax. (the advance import options shows automatic scale or mm,cm,m...etc... I chose "1.0" cm)
• I make really small adjustments to the model, no scale changes.
• I export the model from 3DSmax to FBX again. (the advance export options show automatic scale or mm,cm,m...etc... I chose automatic "1.0" )
• I then import it into Noesis then export it back to the original game file.
• I enter the game and the objects become too small and sometimes if I choose different scale on import & export it becomes too big.

So, what are the common approaches to dealing with this?

Facts about the game I'm modding:
- The game uses DirectX9.
- It's a Korean MMORPG. (maybe someone knows the common scale unit used by korean developers/modellers)
- It was made in 2001.

Any tips or ideas?

Don't use FBX. Its a crap format and always had scale problems.
