Asset Scaling

Mansur-Rig’s default scale is based on: Human-male character- 180cm in Height.

There are three values that dictate Asset scaling:

  • Preferences - “Base Scale”, or “Project Scale”- Global scale multiplier.
  • Rig-Top Setting - “Asset Scale”, Asset specific scale multiplier.
  • Preferences - “Root Guide Scale” - This will dictate the multiplier for the “Root Guide” only.

Variables used internally :

  • mnsProjectScale - Located in "Preferences", is set by the user using the preferences UI, which can be accesed through Mansur's main menu.
  • assetScale - Rig-Top's attribute, can be accessed when creating a new Rig-Top, or via the "Rig settings" in Mansur BLOCK's main UI.
  • gScale - Compiled in MnsBuildModule Class = mnsProjectScale * assetScale
  • spacing - This variable dictates the spacing (distance) between guides when creating them. This variable is gScale * 10
