I am sure for male armor it's the widenes of the shoulders that's most exaggereated - not the chest-waist ratio - so hopefully it might actually be a little easier. I learned this the hard way - I decided the widest part would be the shoulders, check this measurement and build for that - what I did not take into account is that for female armor, they often have an extreme waistline - so while the shoulders did fit the waist did not. The shown result is metric so you might need to convert it depending on where you are from.Īlso, Zaff is right it IS important to check several measures since video game propartions do differ from most people. Then go to the 3D model and pick the 2 points you want to measure. Torso pieces are difficult to scale, the measure tool in the pepakura designer is your best friend! (Click right on the pages with the 2D parts and choose measure distance in the menu - it's the bottom option I think). If it's not there I'm sure it's on his to-do list. If nothing else there will be less 'fluff' to sort through to get to the files that he's already done. I'd suggest trying Zombie's deviantart gallery. I haven't found it either, but it's possible I just missed it. This is simply the result of different proportions between video game characters and the human body. Or the holes might all fit, but the overall height might be too short (or too long). Using a chest piece as an example, you take the measure of the arm hole to make sure you can fit your arm through it, but the abdominal hole might not be large enough to fit around your midsection. And it's a good idea to check more than one measurement. Use this to check neck holes, arm holes, top to bototm, side to side, any measurement that's easiest for you to work from and compare it to a measurement taken from your own body and adjust the model scale accordingly. Then pick any two points using the 3D window (or 2D window if you know which pieces correspond to the points you want to measure) and a message will pop up telling you the distance from one point to the other. I've found one of the best ways to check the scale is using the 'measure distance between two points' option by right-clicking in the 2D window and picking it from the menu.
