[highlight]SUMMARY: Height in CM / Head height in CM = head height ratio[/highlight] So I was making a 3D model for a game I'm working on, so I googled human proportions so I didn't make a pin head alien or some shit. I found this page and found it very interesting. [url]http://drawsketch.about.com/cs/figuredrawing/a/fig_proportion.htm[/url] So here's some copypasta for you... [quote][B]An average person[/B], is generally 7-and-a-half heads tall (including the head)[/quote] [quote][B]An ideal figure[/B], used when aiming for an impression of nobility or grace, is drawn at 8 heads tall[/quote] [quote][B]A heroic figure[/B], used in the heroic for the depiction of gods and superheroes, is eight-and-a-half heads tall[/quote] So how do you find your head height ratio? First of all, find your height in cm. For feet and inches, take your number of feet and multiply that number by 12. Now take the number of inches and add it to that number. Finally, multiply your number by 2.54. e.g. I'm 6'4", so 6*12 = 72. 72+4 = 76. 76*2.54 = 193.04 For meters, just multiply it by 100. e.g. I'm 1.93m tall. 1.93*100 = 193. Now, get a 30cm ruler, or something similar and go to the mirror. Flatten your hair with one hand and use the other to hold the ruler. Doing this lets you get a rough head height, like so... [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5062494/forumpost/headratio.png[/img] So, my head is 22cm tall. I am 193cm tall. 193/22 = 8.77 So I am closest to the heroic figure :smugdog: But I'm over that level so I'm just a pinhead :buddy: [B]This could be seen as a post your, but honestly this isn't some "post ur fav game quote" shit. I felt that it was better suited to GD when I made the thread.[/B] [release][highlight]So what's your head height ratio?[/highlight] Things you may want to include... [B]- Head height[/B] [B]- Actual height[/B] [B]- Age[/B] And of course this [B]isn't[/B] just a post your, discussion is good.[/release] Edit: Can't believe nobody has done this yet, it's interesting :frown:
So wait, heroic figures are bigheaded bastards?
[QUOTE=Hiccuper;23740231]So wait, heroic figures are bigheaded bastards?[/QUOTE] No, it's the other way around. Heroic figures have a small head compared to their body.
Mine is ~8.71, but my neck is really long... pinhead it is!
Yeah, I have a pretty long neck as well, luckily though it doesn't look wierd because my neck is also really thick. If someone read this thread and tried to picture me based on what I've said they would see the most hilarious image in their head :v:
[QUOTE=Jallen;23740377] If someone read this thread and tried to picture me based on what I've said they would see the most hilarious image in their head :v:[/QUOTE] Thank you for giving me a hilarious image to picture. My day is now complete. Also, I'm 8.1. Just a little over ideal, but not quite heroic.
I think I did something wrong. I got a little over ten heads. Nevermind my real one is 6.7. ugh
[QUOTE=markfu;23741431]I think I did something wrong. I got a little over ten heads.[/QUOTE] Try it again, and if you still get 10 heads take a picture of yourself and post it in the slenderman thread.
~8.49 Time to go save the world or something...
5. Should I be worried?
