Scaling & Proportions

sheedee3D

I am breaking my head with adjusting props/figures/characters to the right size into different HDRIS...i spent big amaunts of time adjusting and reajusting to try to get everyhting to the right proportion so that they can match the scale of the HDRI...but so far i cant get it to work...if i zoom in our zoom out the props will either be to big or to small which in this case will make the car look like a toy car or a giant car which is bigger then the whole road.

All this is very frustrating and i have no clue how to get this to work properly and i know that it can be done because i have seen examples where it all looks good and with the right proportions.

Help is appreciated.

What does it look like if you load that HDRI and that vehicle at default settings?

I don't have that vehicle, but using another it looks OK.  Because HDRIs aren't really 'there' they may not scale quite the same as an actual object, and objects never look like they are 'there' to me in the way they would if the scenery was made up of objects.

Don't just zoom in and out the camera, change the focal length instead. The HDRI will have been taken with a standard length (probably :) ) which will be either 55 mm or 65 mm. By zooming the camera you are taking the camera away from the car but the HDRI stays the same. By changing the focal length of the camera and the moving it back, forward or zooming to frame the car the HDRI should maintain its scale.
