If you have a wall that is 300uu high then you would need 20 continuous steps to reach that height. One thing to consider when you are creating stairs is the height of the entire stair set. These door dimensions look best for FPS Template (default project setting) and Arch Viz:Īverage stair height and depth that looks best is: This doorway looks the best for playable game environment as the character in-game is able to walk through it: These door dimensions are from First Person Example Game scale (downloadable through Learn section). I am going to give you two values for a door/doorway. Wall height of 400uu (13.1ft) will be slightly larger but may work as well:Īlways test in-game from point of view of the player.Īverage door has the following base dimensions:Īdd 10-20uu for a door frame that you may include for aesthetics.įor doorways, you always want to test it in-game to see if you can walk through it due to player collision. Wall dimensions are the next important element to consider. See this tutorial on how to have your own skeletal mesh in your project to help you build and judge levels and environments to proper scale and proportion. You can also use a Skeletal Mesh that comes with UE4 called HeroTPP.uasset If you have your own player character already created, you can import and use that as scale reference. Character Skeletal Mesh (import your own or use UE4 HeroTPP)Ĭreate a BSP box with following dimensions: 180H圆0W圆0DĬreate and import a Static Mesh (3d model) with the same dimensions (180H圆0W圆0D ) into UE4.Great way to reference everything in the world is to insert a Character Scale into your map. Everything is relative to the point of view of the player and how they view the world.ĭefault character height is 180uu or 180cm (in real world it comes to about 6ft). If you decide you want to change back to the scale system as it was in UDK (power of 2 grid scale), follow these steps:Įdit > Editor Preferences then under Viewports > Enable 'Use Power of Two Snap Size'Ĭharacter height will be the most important starting point. It easier to snap objects together, stay on the grid and work with custom Static Meshes from Maya/3dsMax/Blender etc. After spending some time in UE4, I like the updated scale system a lot better. But I would recommend giving this new grid snapping scale a try. Only Noise Tool heightmap generation, after 1 minute worth of workĪs a UDK user you might think of switching back to old snap scale system (power of 2 values). If you are coming from UDK you will notice that everything is now based on centimeters instead of power of 2 scale values. Use these base values as a starting point but you may need to modify them to fit your project. Remember: Everything is relative to the player and how the player sees the world. So if you created "most-realistic" environment that match dimensions from the real-world but when you walk around it feels small, then you need to re-work your environment to make sure that your level "feels right". It all depends on how the player perceives your environment. Scale and dimensions have to "feel right". Character collision boundaries will play a significant role for various architecture elements such as doorways height and width. Scale and dimensions of your character and architecture is going to be relative to your game and the environment you are creating.These dimensions will work 9 times out of 10. Average wall height, width, depth and lengthĢ Most Important Things to Know About Scale:īase scale listed in this article is a good starting point.Then once you jump into the world and start playing, you realize that your proportions are incorrect and the world looks too small or too big.Īt the beginning of every level creation, you have to decide on base dimensions you will use for your project. Every new prop and every new architecture piece will reference the previously placed prop. So if you start your project without setting the base scale and dimensions of your environment, everything will be off. You can easily tell if something is out of proportion and doesn't look right. If you don't know the height of the character, then you don't know how large or small the surrounding geometry (props and architecture) has to be. Correct scale means that you know the basic dimensions for your architecture, your character and you use them as a guide to create your environment. When I begin a new project or learn a new game engine, the first things I figure out is scale and dimensions to use.ĭeciding on a scale of player character and world geometry will help you to avoid major problems with proportion.
