Hey
thank you. I know all that but the reason why I was asking is to get a general
feel of what people use. I'm thinking about building particle "presets" and I
would like to make it a good size so that it fits most scenarios.

 here's something to check:

 select your character, and hit F, if the default xsi grid is way to dense, or
even to dense it's not visible,
 your character is too big. on the other hand, if the grid is way to big, like
you see only 4 boxes in the frame,
 your character is too small..

 this is a very not siectific way, but it should give you an approximated
"normal" size for a character..

   Hi all

   usually....what size(in XSI unit) do you make you human characters? I know
XSI units are whatever size you want but I just want to know what people tend
to make the size. (i.e. 1 xsi unit = 10cm)

   thanks for any input.
