How accurate is Measure Metrics?

Drogo Nazhur

I use "Measure Metrics for DAZ Studio" [ https://www.daz3d.com/measure-metrics-for-daz-studio ] a LOT but I have serious doubt about how accurate the measurements are especially the tailor tape numbers. Using the tool I tried to create a character with Arnold's measurements (22" arms, 60" chest, 31" waist, etc) and no way does the character look like Arnold. And when I try to make the character visually look like Arnold, his biceps measure in at 29". It seems like the tailor tape numbers are off. Does anyone else feel this way?

In my exp., 99%+ accuracy with Measure Metrics can be assured. So, who is Arnold... ? Arnold Schwarzenegger ?

How did you create the character... by using Figure Metrics script ? You can easily compare your Arnold with Michael 8 or 9 that has precise measures data.

Are you sure the measures are correctly placed, and are not including something they should not? In particular, see http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/plugins/measure_metrics/advanced_measuring/start#restrict_to_polygon_selection

It seems that Drogo Nazhur wants to create some muclebound characters, it will be no wonder if Conan The barbarian is mentioned as the main subject.

 Haha, actually I got it after asking that question. But who is Conan my dear Halcon ?  That Detective Conan aka 名探偵コナン ?

Back in my G8 days when I last used Measure Metrics with my characters (I haven't gotten that far in character creation in a very long time), I swear I remember a morph - I think one that affected height - that was not reflected by Measure Metrics. I started getting some weird results when comparing characters next to each other. But that was a long time ago.

crosswind Don't tell me you haven't seen some of Anold Schwarzenegger movies?

Conan The Barbarian is a classic movie of the '80s directed by Dino Di Laurentis

Ah... I actually started from his Terminator movies...

Conan the Barbarian (directed by John Milius, not Dino de Laurentiis) is a legitimately great movie, like a surprising number of early Schwarzenegger movies. The sequel, Conan the Destroyer, is schlock that you may or may not find enjoyable.

Gordig I forgot that, Dino de Laurentis was the Producer.

Conan The Barbarian an enjoyable movie.

The sequel does not live up as the predecesor, this is the same situation with other movies.

However, there are some that surpass the the first one, being these a few.

Take for example Superman The Movie with Christopher Reeve, the sequel was one of the best in my opinion.

This year WB is going to release a new version of the hero.

No one knows if this new movie will be thrilling or not until mid-year.

Time will tell.
