Working on the hand grip. This pic shows the scale of some items:


The model's hands are not well articulated but it's good enough for now.  She will be replaced or redone someday and I don't want to waste too much time rerigging her (and learning how to rig in Blender, etc.) just to get better hand grips.

I have been planning to use blender for some time, I just think it's funny how you just refuse to actually work with blender.

I love the scaling stuff you have, good job!

I have like a decade of experience with 3D Studio Max... when I use blender I feel like a monkey poking at flashy buttons.  I brought it up last night and I'm trying to learn a few things because it's easier to pose in that gui... but not much easier.  And I click the wrong thing and my GUI reconfigures itself into some bizarre setup and there is no "Undo" for stuff like that.  I'm getting to the point where I don't have to exit and reopen the app to get things back, though. Smiley  And the latest version is 100x better than the one I used 2 years ago.

Just out of curiosity, what is your algorithm method for getting the item's scale and position:

When you scale it, do you practically scale all three four dimensions, and along with that does the hand configure the pitch/yaw at the moment, or did you just hook it in directly setting the item's pitch/yaw?

I wish I could scale things in 4D... I could be done with the game by now.

I take the 3D volume and the 2D area... then I scale up the 2D area so that the flat 1 block volume is the same (so sqrt(depth), basically).

The model has an articulated skeleton and bones, etc... I just grab an attachment point on the hand and monkey with some of the bone settings so that the hand is in the proper position.  So the wand/knife/whatever automatically moves when the rest of the skeleton does.
