To follow on from What Jon said, I'll give you an example.

Say you had a car driving past a building, and the real sizes were as follows:

Car:    2m long, 1.5m wide, 1m high
Building: 6m long, 6m wide, 20m high

If you were to use 1 unit (psx) to represent 1cm (in the real world), the sizes
would be as follows:

Car:    200units, 150units, 100units
Buildings: 600units, 600units, 2000units

All these amounts are easily within range.


As for the resizing, my way of doing this is to convert to rsd, then use
rsdform.
The flag in rsdform is -s x y z, if you also use -v then the details will be
displayed.

Also in rsdform, you can reset the model centre, so you could move the centre to
the top left corner (like a sprite), resize, then move it back to make it easier
to control the sizing. My method is to move it to the exact middle (I've noticed
MAX and Milkshape like to offset the centre by varying amounts), then size from
there.



I hope this helps!
