Re: Building Restiction Box needed (Wishlist)

One thing that I have learned is that making objects true to scale makes
them look smaller. I have always tried to make objects that are true to scale and only used larger than scale objects for effect, such as the huge inner room of my sky castle, the 20 by 20 meters chandelier, and the 10 by 10 meter pillars framing the exterior are enormous by even AW standards. Things that I usually try to make to scale are chairs and other furniture that looks cartoonish when you see an avatar standing next to one that comes up to his waist when they are done out of scale. If true to scale objects look small in the perspective of an avatar eye view then think how much smaller a pint sized chair would look. Unless you can change the perspective, you will wind up making a doll house, in my opinion. grover <steve at nospam.synergycorp.com> wrote in article <360AB014.6B175761 at nospam.synergycorp.com>... > Yes, but for most experienced builders, it's not too difficult to stay under 1000 bytes, so > keeping it under 4000 for 4x the area shouldn't be a problem.
