Jeeps are to small for players!

Ok, so i Rigged the NF soldier with IK so I can pose him in to the vehicle, and I decomplied the NF jeep as a reference for the right position.
Well, as it seems now, the jeep is too small for the guys to fit properly into them.
So well, I can resize it, but then I'll lose the animations since they are using the defoult skeleton.
So any solutions from the dev team?

 

Resize the soldier?

 

that wont be a good idea.....
Resizing the player model will screw much more then then resizing the jeep.

I guess I will experement and search for a proper size. Then I'll simply send the proportions to the devs so they will reszie each animation to the proper size and recompile everything. (I would have done it my self but it's impossible since the decompiler dosent decompile all the animations in the right way.

 

The models ingame are resized, you know :p

 

Dosent help me much, i need to know how to excectly pose the yhing, or else it will look kined of stupid.

 

pose in gmod and try to mimmick it? =o

K I don't really know >.>

 

Well you can always try & make the character clip into the vehicle enough so that it looks good, but not so much that it destroys the illusion. I've noticed that the characters don't exactly fit into the jeeps when I posed this (scroll down a bit) so I had to clip parts of the back, & arse into the seat, but if you looked at it from the right side staring at the driver you'll see that it did indeed look belivable.

 

The devs can actually help by movieng the front seats a little bit backwords, so the arms would look good while beeing posed.
A modeler friend redid the mesh for me, but it has to be reriged and I didn't see what he did yet.
Guess Ill try to take care about some weapon poses i guess.
Or is there some one who alredy does it?
