Increasing scale of a model

[TheFrenchLeprechaun]

Hey there!

I'm using a model in my project that I'm forced to scaled over 3.0 in WE. With such a scale, the auras and missiles of the model are way too big. Is there a way to increase the scale of the model without fucking up the animations? (yeah, I've tryed 'scaling' feature in War3 Model Editor...)

Thanks in advance, and +rep for helpers!

Well, scaling up a model means to re-assign the bones aswell, thats the only way i know.

And I guess that's not an easy thing to do?

No it is not.

Edit: I made another opt file with heavily lesser size and animation. The size of your file really bothers me.

You can just add a dummy bone on top of the bone hierarchy (so all other bones inherit from it), and give it 3x scaling for all animations. The same with global rotation, ect.

Edit: This should work.

I used Athur 12A2's fixed version, so credit him too.

@Athur12A2 , thanks a lot, that's the good size! But the stand animation is slightly clipping, would it be possible to fix that if it isn't too much to ask ^^?

@The_Silent , your version is huge, it should be scaled to 0.4 in-game, what would cause the exact opposite problem I had in the beginning. But thanks anyway for the time you took.

+rep for both of you!

Is this better?

Yep, now it's good, thanks! But still this clipping on stand animation. Is it due to the re-assignement of bones?

 

[The_Silent]

Dunno, using Arthus version.

Here is your original model resized, did nothing else, just resizing.

 

[TheFrenchLeprechaun]

Now the size is good, the size of the missile is also good, and there's no more clipping. Only the aura stays as big as the original model scaled over 3 (strange because I tried your fixed model with a scale of 1).

 

[Athur12A2]

My opt file has no clipping, but it contains decay animation. You can use it.

Edit: I see no clipping in both files with Mdlvis, don't think there will be any problem.

 

[The_Silent]

Did this fix it?

Mission accomplished! Thanks again guys! I'll credit you when I'll release the v1 of my project
