Dhiren Shah Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Hey everybody. This may sound like a very very basic question but I was wondering what units are used in Houdini. I mean when I make a box geometry in houdini it says that its of size 1,1,1 what does this 1 mean.Is this unit in cms or inches or something else. I was also wondering does this matter, when I am trying to model something in houdini say a character which is like 6 feet tall, because if I have an image reference on an image plane its not at all necessary that its in proportion to what i am trying to model. I hope that my question is clear. Looking forward to the replies. I am also wondering if there is any way to change the units if they exist in houdini. Thanks. Dhiren.

sibarrick Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 If you look under "hip file options" in preferences you can see where the units are define for dops. You can use these same values for modelling for consistency or if you don't use dops you can choose 1 to mean anything you like. 1 metre, 1 km, 1 millimetre it just depends what you are modelling.
