Building to Real Life Scale

#1

Post by Timeforeggs »

Hi everyone! Im new here and I have just begun my plugin creator journey :) I’ve been having some trouble while trying to build to scale. I have tried a few formulas but I think this one seems to work. Would this be a safe/standard formula?

The building that I am creating is 18 meters long in real life…

If TheoHumans are 3 pixels tall which represent 2 meters in real life, you can calculate the number of pixels needed for 18 meters by setting up a proportion.

Let's call the number of pixels needed for 18 meters "S".

Given the ratio 3 pixels : 2 meters, you can set up the proportion:
(3 pixels / 2 meters) * 18 meters = 27
S = 27 pixels


So, you would need 27 pixels to represent a building that is 18 meters long in real life.

Or if you don't want to eat, let's make a parachute and tie the egg and launch it!
