Scaling Character Proportions to Height

[Cage]

I'm trying to create an accurate custom character in Daz.

Taking into account the average human female is 164cm tall with a head circumference of 55cm.
The G8F base is 179.8cm and a head of 58cm
When using figure metrics or the full scale to shorten a character, it scales everything smaller, including the head.

When the character's length is scaled down to 164cm with an upscaled head to 55cm it is no longer in proportion. Any tips?

Proportions do vary.
What I often do is use Figure Metrics to scale the body to the real world stats.
As regards height, I often shorten the leg length, which is on the long side of average reality.
Generally I don't mess with the head size as this can upset the looks, as you found out. 🙂

Sangriart kinda has a "height adjustment" morph in their characters which works perfectly fine with all figures and scales it proportionally.

Hi usually I use y scale for height

Thanks for the answers guys, I appreciate it greatly. I happened upon some transcripts of Leonardo da Vinci, and then found a book he wrote, it is so fascinating.

Found something really cool. Check it out!

Would be great if somebody can crack it for us - The professional version... It has a hassle free download but comes with a trial period for 14 days. There are some cracked versions around the net, but they look shady.

Ohh Florence!! She is SO beautiful!

Cage; How are you going to use this app. with DS?

[Cage]

Yeah! It works great! Very easy to use, give it a go @Felicia 😉
It's basically an overlay, can be used with all kinds of programs.

[Felicia]

I will - thanks.

I actually have a custom morph around for that...

[Cage]

Sounds interesting @Daishi. Would be cool to see it 🙂

[Felicia]

I second that @Cage. Sounds like a total time saver @Daishi.

I'll dig it up. Way it works is I linked the "Height" morph and the scaling control.
