height reference - second draft
I just scaled them down rather than adjusting their rigs - that definitely isn't ideal. very tall vs very short people often have different relative proportions, esp when it comes to head size. I also haven't figured out how I want to handle height changes due to footwear. I know a lot of them are wearing heels but this is meant to represent their actual heights in bare feet. Tess should be like 6'2 in those platform boots.
6'1" - Caleb/Dillon/Ethren
5'11" - Tess
5'8" - Lilith
5'7" - Inna/Morgyn
5'4" - Elle
5'3" - Keisha
5'2" - L
I'm mostly set on these heights. I'm still considering making Caleb shorter, but I like the height difference between him and Inna/Lilith/Morgyn. I do need to see how he and Lilith look next to Lily (currently 5'5).
Still not 100% on Elle and Dillon. I like their heights on their own, but their huge height difference makes posing really annoying. Thankfully she usually wears heels - that definitely does help.
sidenote - I've been working on a script to automate the .dae import/model config process. It's not done, but I was able to import 18 fucking models and get them render-ready in 30 minutes. when it came down to render, I just had to pose the models, move them, and then hit F12. Since I already had a bunch of .dae files exported from TS4SimRipper and ready to work with, this was really fast - 18 .dae files prepared for rendering and 34 saved renders in under an hour. I'm so excited to finish and release my tool!
